purpose

[Andy Kim @AndyKimNJ]

After calls to resign, Senator Menendez said “I am not going anywhere.” As a result, I feel compelled to run against him. Not something I expected to do, but NJ deserves better. We cannot jeopardize the Senate or compromise our integrity. Please join me:

✨ NEW✨Did you know? Students are transferring faster. While only 21% of students who transferred in 2015–16 did so within 2 years of initial enrollment, this percentage jumped to 31% in academic year 2021–22

OPINION: The Golden State Pathways program promises to replace exactly what’s hurting us most right now, with exactly what can help us most for the future. #caedu #caleg #capol

Now, in Desantis’s ‘Free State of Florida,’ you get fired as a Principal if one of your art teachers shows the class a picture of Michelangelo’s David. https://t.co/SxyIt1vGm5

A reminder that the crusade for “parents’ rights” is really a crusade for one select group of parents to dominate all the others. https://t.co/dmksYbNfUW

the best version

[Governor Gavin Newsom @CAgovernor]

A few wealthy Berkeley homeowners should not be able to block desperately needed student housing for years and even decades.

CEQA needs to change and we are committed to working with the legislature so California can build more housing.

the juxtaposition of this fake story with “facts don’t care about your feelings” is very funny to me

@Iamkeithcurry @DrPamLuster @DrTammeil @CollegeFutures (2/2) Leadership is trying to balance competing considerations. On the one hand, you should always carry a measure of epistemic humility, interrogate your own motives, and introspect. On the other, you need to trust your judgment and be willing to place big bets. #EquityChat

[Ben Chida @BenChidaCA]

@Iamkeithcurry @DrPamLuster @DrTammeil @CollegeFutures (1/2) Embrace ambiguity. If you’re really in it for the right reasons, you should constantly be asking yourself tough moral questions. Am I compromising too much or not enough? Am I going too big too fast, or the exact opposite? Am I upsetting partners by pushing too hard?

[Ben Chida @BenChidaCA]

@DrTammeil @DrPamLuster @Iamkeithcurry @CollegeFutures I’m hopeful because of my boss – a true equity champion. As the cliché goes: budgets are value statements. Yesterday, we proposed a budget in which we prioritized education – and within education, we prioritized equity. We’re in for the long haul. #EquityChat

[Ben Chida @BenChidaCA]

@DrPamLuster @DrTammeil @Iamkeithcurry @CollegeFutures (2/2) I wish there were better ways to get a read on the lived impact of our policies. I often reflect on the fact that there’s no advocacy org, interest group, think tank, or lobbyist that represented my voice as a student. Unfortunately, I think that’s still true. #EquityChat
