[Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan]

Today, I am in Northern Minnesota meeting with indigenous leaders organizing to #StopLine3.

We owe it to future generations, to the indigenous communities we've signed treaties with, and to every living being on this planet to stop building fossil fuel infrastructure.

@Phrodielicious BRB while I go cry my eyes out now... #RIPgus

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Today, we’re reminded of our solemn obligation: to serve our veterans as well as they have served us. To all of our veterans and service members, we’re forever grateful for your commitment to our country—and your willingness to put it all on the line for us. Thank you.

@HeyKimZ couldn't agree more.

[Chasten Glezman Buttigieg @Chasten]

You don’t have to RT him, reply to him, argue with him, or point out the lies and errors. He is irrelevant. The work to unite and move forward continues and that doesn’t include him.

@HansonJarrod @Bluedude588 I would say yes. The idea that all people have the same voice in our democracy is simply not the case. That is not to say that using our voice is not essential. But perhaps the idealism we typically learn and teach in civics leads more to disappointment. #UEDE5464FALL2020

@JoshRheingold @HansonJarrod @SabadellNatalia I guess it's more that it feels unsolvable in the current system. So until the entire system is overhauled, true change seems unreachable. #UEDU5464Fall2020

[Lindsey Widstrom @LindseyWidstrom]

@Bluedude588 @HansonJarrod UFFF. I feel this though. And totally resonate it with your cynicism. I hate to admit this... but my normally realistic yet still hopeful self has become more and more a nihilist. #UEDU5464Fall2020

[Lindsey Widstrom @LindseyWidstrom]

@HansonJarrod @SabadellNatalia That is actually my bottom line dilemma: those who make the decisions are the same who hold the majority of the current wealth... so is this an unsolvable problem? Hard not to feel defeatist about it all. #UEDU5464Fall2020

[Lindsey Widstrom @LindseyWidstrom]

@AschSamantha @HansonJarrod I'm torn- while I would hope that it would help in diminishing income disparities, I wonder if starting at a more reasonable minimum income would be more feasible of a policy to pass??

What do Americans owe each other?

[Lindsey Widstrom @LindseyWidstrom]

How are incentives influenced by values? (for example: ethics, religious beliefs, cultural values)

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

The Trump Admin's failure to lead during the #COVID19 pandemic has left states with their backs against the wall when it comes to providing residents with:
🏠 Rental assistance
🚌 Safe public transportation
📚 Safe reopening of schools
🏬 Small biz aid

We must #SaveOurStates.

[Chelsea Clinton @ChelseaClinton]

190,000 Americans are dead. This is what an absence of shame, decency, humanity and responsibility sounds like.

Fellow educators: this includes us! No matter the age/grade at which we are teaching- what example are we setting for our students and how are we mentoring these younger generations along the way?

[Ibram X. Kendi @ibramxk]

Let us pave the roads to a just and equitable world with love, trust, courage, and humility, knowing the little ones are studying us, are walking with us at our side.

@krichael What an underrated film!

"Some believe that Black students must code-switch to be successful in school & life. I'm questioning what gets lost or sacrificed in the process." - Dean @ValerieKinloch quoting @aprilbakerbell's book on Linguistic Justice. ➡️ https://t.co/oV9qNc3hGl
