@facebook Unable to log back in to my account all day; no Authenticator codes coming through and the two that did in the last 5 hours didn’t work. Lost work and a sale.

@HemsleyBecky I shared this with all my female friends and colleagues who identify as women of color @HemsleyBecky ❤️ but also think there are plenty of folks who can relate to this

[Kim Neal @KimNealBoston]

@HemsleyBecky I heard it on “Archetypes” too…it resonated with me so deeply, and with the pain of recognition there is also peace. Thank you for putting this too-common experience into words so beautifully @HemsleyBecky

@SternbergCamps Lucky campers! What a view

[George Takei @GeorgeTakei]

Wait. They want us to focus on the school door being unlocked?

So let me get this straight: They say it should have been much harder to enter the building, but won’t make it harder to buy the AR-15 he used to kill 19 kids and two teachers?

Do you hear how insane that sounds?!

[Katelyn Burns @transscribe]

If a weapon is so dangerous that a squad of police officers are too afraid to confront a single person wielding it, that weapon should be banned.

I've been asked this a lot so it's worth saying publicly: you should never—like never ever—feel bad about getting my books from the library instead of purchasing them. Libraries are one of the best things in the world. It's a thrill to have my books in them. Support them always.

Love this!

Kimeona, a native of Oahu, lives and breathes "Aloha ʻĀina" (love for the land) and has made "Mālama 'Āina" (caring for the land) his life's work. So when he learned about @808Cleanups, a nonprofit committed to restoring Hawaii’s natural beauty, he knew he'd found his calling.

A bill that would create a commission to study the effects of slavery and racial discrimination — and recommend remedies to Congress — is moving closer to a vote in the House, after being stalled for nearly 30 years.

Today, I am directing every state to prioritize educators for vaccination. We want every educator, school staff member, and child-care worker to receive at least one shot by the end of this month.

It’s time to treat in-person learning like the essential service that it is.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

I was, indeed, on a call 🤣🐶

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

Transgender rights are human rights — and the House made that clear today by passing the Equality Act.

Now it's time for the Senate to do the same.

[Kim Neal @KimNealBoston]

This is what compassionate leadership and service looks like ❤️

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Yeah this is not okay.

My office is free this week to any service members who’d like to use it for a break or take nap on the couch. We’ll stock up on snacks for you all too.

(We’re in the middle of moving offices and it’s a bit messy so don’t judge, but make yourself at home!)

[Kim Neal @KimNealBoston]

@eb_bartels ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Makes me so happy to see him like this after all he has done and is doing for our country!

There’s an Amanda Gorman at every HS you call underperforming, inner city, and/or the G word.

Honor. Black. Students. Art.

[Jon Ossoff @ossoff]

Today, as I was sworn in, I held in my jacket pocket copies of the ships’ manifests recorded at Ellis Island when my Great Grandfather Israel arrived in 1911 and my Great Grandmother Annie arrived in 1913.

A century later, their great grandson was elected to the U.S. Senate.

[Kim Neal @KimNealBoston]

Oh, we caught it...and our hearts are so full #YouthPoetLaureate @TheAmandaGorman @Lin_Manuel

[Amanda Gorman @TheAmandaGorman]

Thx @Lin_Manuel ! Did you catch the 2 @HamiltonMusical references in the inaugural poem? I couldn’t help myself!

[Brian Schatz @brianschatz]

Good stuff is happening so rapidly it’s an extremely unfamiliar feeling.
