For me it’s where the funds are being redirected…. The hatred is so blatant it hurts.

Removing the last remaining Confederate statues in Richmond had to be done to rid our city of our dark past.

While Glenn Youngkin embraces the Confederacy, I am running for Governor to move our Commonwealth forward.

Babies and families need robust investments in programs and policies that support their healthy development. On #NationalBabyDay, call on Congress to #ThinkBabiesandAct. https://t.co/DQOcbfsSX9

[Elliot Haspel @ehaspel]

One of the most maddening things about U.S. family policy is that both sides agree new parents should have time with their babies, yet we can't even agree on 6 weeks of paid family leave, much less 6 months.

I'm also tired of talking about child care policy w/o talking about PFL

⛔️ STOP scheduling back to back meetings! ✋
Science now proves that it is bad for our stress levels and contributes to burnout.

Put breaks in between meetings. Your health and productivity will be boosted.

Ban back to back meetings in your organisation. ❌

5th graders are talking about assumptions. This class in particular went deep.

[David Feldon @dffeldon]

Big meta-analytic findings!!! The GRE’s ability to predict graduate outcomes has decreased significantly over time as the diversity of graduate students has increased. Predictive value also decreases as samples include more People of Color. https://t.co/7Qhum0leqT

An illustrated lesson.

As my father said, “Justice at its best is love correcting everything that stands against love.”
