Just because Tony Bennett was a diversity hire who got his job through affirmative action…

It doesn’t mean he wasn’t qualified.

@nhannahjones How does their vehicle of choice affect our enjoyment of watching amateurs play?
The coaches being in the Bentleys dammit.
And why did rappers come up?

@DeusMozzarella @nhannahjones @TIME @JanellRoss "Stayed home"?! That's impossible to measure and extremely ethnocentric. Men and women who were lynched post-enslavemwnt were "better off"?

@CurtainsRoast @susanmnmg @nhannahjones Have you read it? Watched the series? Fact-checked anything? There's a lot of info, which part is the lie?

@God777Link @Booker4KY @GovAndyBeshear @kystatepolice Huh?

[Kentucky Democrats @KyDems]

Republican after Republican attacked Gov. Beshear for not being at Fancy Farm today.

@AndyBeshearKY has been leading relief/recovery in EKY and WKY all week, but it's revealing that the GOP thinks the only way to show up for rural Kentucky is dropping by for a political speech.

Hey English teacher friends! This year in Creative Writing, I started a daily sentence study warm-up that I called Word Lab. It was the most beneficial 10 minutes of our class, hands down, and I want to share all of the resources I created with you! [thread!]

[Charles Booker @Booker4KY]

Lynching is a tool of terror. It was used to kill hopes for freedom. In Kentucky, it was used to kill three of my uncles.

In this historic election, the choice is clear. Rand Paul may want to divide us, but hate won’t win this time.

It’s time to move forward, together.

Private insurance spends 17x more on administrative costs than traditional Medicare—to pay for things like stock buybacks, executive pay, and ads.

Medicare for All would save taxpayers billions and generate better health outcomes. It is fiscally responsible policy.

The craziest thing about teaching high school is having to do such an extreme range of tasks in a day. Today:

- I had a conversation about contemporary art w/ a student

- I wrote a recommendation letter

- I edited a resume

- I broke up a fight over a game of Uno.

@Ken64912843 @MikeOverby2 @ShryockElizabe2 @KYAgCommish It protects kids in schools who can't wear masks because they deserve and are required to get an education too. There's probably a lot you don't know about education, so you should stay in your lane.

[Megan @Berk_tastic]

@KYAgCommish I don't understand why this harshness. Y'all work in the same govt, for the same people.
If teachers acted like this towards each other. 😅

Hey teachers,
After a biased comment is made and you missed it (for whatever reason). Don't ever be afraid to go back. Bring the convo back to the moment. Model for Ss what it's like to make time to stand up to bias. It's never too late.

[Zak Williams @zakwilliams]

Dad, seven years ago today you passed on. The joy and inspiration you brought to the world carries on in your legacy and in your family, friends, and fans you so loved. You lived to bring laughter and to help others. I will be celebrating your memory today. Love you forever.

[Jay Wamsted @JayWamsted]

The bans on critical race theory will make exactly zero impact on curriculum. No k-12 school teaches CRT and these folks know it

What it does, though, is send a signal to certain white educators that racism isn't real

That's the real danger here. And these folks know that too

If you find it easier to believe something is wrong with Black people than with this country, given our history, there is a word for you...

[Megan @Berk_tastic]

@Stocklover8 @MarinaMedvin There is. We have degrees. From real institutions.
