let's pay Mike Brown $17 million through 2027 to NOT coach instead of going into the luxury tax to improve the roster.

standing ovation for our genius owner, everybody.

There’s a huge double standard when it comes to funding public transit vs funding highways. It plays out in various ways in how society looks at the costs of building & operating transit vs highways. The result is massive under-investment in transit. 🧵:

The Klan came to Sacramento in 1922 and recruited heavily for their local chapter.

The violent subjugation and dehumanization of Black people was central to their mobilization.

I almost threw my back out seeing you had the audacity to double down with this shameful rhetoric.

[Wendell Pierce @WendellPierce]

This was never about issues. The economy is in great shape. Inflation is just coporate greed. More manufacturing, low unemployment. A healthy economy is supported by a 30% migrant labor force. It’s not about abortion. White women and affluent women know they can always access reproductive care. The GOP created a guest worker program because they want the migrant labor. This election was about the great replacement. A reaction to the society changing around them. The ultimate protection of white privilege. Let the retribution begin.

[Wendell Pierce @WendellPierce]

Democracy is clarity. As a student of human behavior, I believe it reflects the will of the people. The race is not over but the blame game has begun. I will not let the pundits scapegoat Black voters. I will not let you scapegoat Arab American voters. Not even the shift of Latino voters. Donald Trump was supported by White men, White women, non college educated and college educated. Suburban White women and rural White women by a majority. It’s clear that my neighbors, coworkers, and friends have no problem with a convicted felon, convicted rapist, racist, and misogynist leading their government. They share his values. People show you who they are.

I give Bob Kraft a lot of credit for making this hire because Black coaches with Mayo’s experience typically don’t get these kinds of opportunities. I give Mayo credit for saying this because a lot of Black coaches in his position, wouldn’t. What he said is not controversial. It’s obvious.

[ECMC Foundation @ECMCFoundation]

This week, @ecmcgroup and ECMC Foundation staff will be in Phoenix, AZ for @actecareertech's Vision Conference. @AnnaFontus will participate in a panel titled "Building a Successful Partner Pipeline in Postsecondary CTE" at 8 a.m. MT on Friday. We hope to see you there!

The @ECMCFoundation #CTE Collaborative Convening and the @actecareertech Postsecondary CTE Summit both provided amazing space to talk about improving #studentsuccess for all CTE learners. The commitment and engagement of the foundation to CTE is impacting the field @AnnaFontus @fraire_jacob @JenniferZeisler

[ECMC Foundation @ECMCFoundation]

Highlights from our 2023 #CTELeadershipCollaborative Convening include high-quality sessions focused on the most pressing issues and opportunities in #CTE today including community-driven apprenticeships, AI and faculty shortages.

[SHEEO @SHEEOed]

@ECMCFoundation @AnnaFontus SHEEO’s own Dr. Carrie Klein is presenting to @ECMCFoundation this morning on examples of data-informed change at the community college level. She is sharing the leadership challenges and opportunities associated with data-informed change management.

[Anna Fontus @AnnaFontus]

So great to be back with the best postsecondary CTE change-makers anyone could ever ask for! @DrMBartlett @mirigreenberg @ACTERCareerTech @actecareertech @ctzns_schlrs @jfftweets @CTEWorks

Alabama fans yell “go back to the projects, faggots” to Black players on the Texas football team, as Texas beat Alabama 34-24 on Saturday.

Racism and homophobia are becoming more public in America, and our right-wing political leaders are encouraging it.

What does adoption have to do with poverty and inequality in the US?

Everything.

[Tempesttdenise @tempesttdenise]

Went on a date months ago.

Him: “I only date women who can cook.”

Me: “ Well I need a man to know how to change a tire.”

Him: “ We got roadside assistance for that.”

Me: “Well we got Ubereats for that”.

The gag is I love to cook 😂
If he would have just stayed quiet 😂😂

Today’s students deserve nothing less than to have their basic needs met while they strive to meet their aspirations of earning a college degree. We're proud to fund this important work.
