I fly in/out LGA a lot. Rosa, the bathroom attendant in Terminal 1 near Gate 58, is always killing it. She adds so much value to travelers with her positive attitude and efficient operation every time I'm here.
@LGAairport she deserves a promo! See good, praise it.

@anthonyzenkus Bottom vs top is too generous of a framing. It is more like 345 million Americans vs maybe 400,000. The system is broken for everyone.

[MisterRogersQuotes @MisterRogersSay]

“I’m very concerned that our society is much more concerned with information than wonder, in noise rather than silence. How do we encourage reflection? … Oh my, this is a noisy world.”

@jcbowman Louder on number 1. Put this and more on the ballot. Let the people decide not the big money donors. But wait...Tennessee is one of 24 states that doesn't allow any sort of citizen-initiated ballot measure.

@MichaelLotfi @norinrad10 Tell me you are unqualified for your job w/o telling me you are unqualified for your job. @AFPhq check on this guy. In this thread he illustrates his ignorance of TN's legal & policy landscape. He is unaware that TN is a right to work state, one of your org's signature policies.

[Mary Batiwalla @MBatiwalla]

@norinrad10 Ignore this troll. He presents an incoherent policy argument here designed for the uninformed. If AFP were for teachers then teachers would be paid more. His bosses, the Koch brothers, have one aim: protecting their wealth. https://t.co/88ba9ZmGc4

Analytics + Memphis hoops + a W = ❤️. I enjoyed watching this broadcast style on my flight today. More games like this! Not sure it's for everyone tho. CBS needs to work to focus the adv analytics more and translate them for viewers. Also, improve the data viz. @CBSSportsCBB

Exciting news for anyone who spends lots of time on @SouthwestAir. Heading to @fetc!

@dave_ruminates @EricWelchWCS @TheTNHoller @GovBillLee @TNedu Actually it's $255,024 on taxpayer waste

[Mary Batiwalla @MBatiwalla]

@TheTNHoller @GovBillLee @TNedu Tennesseans deserve better. It is amazing to me she spent basically her whole career working for the Bushes and no one bothered to get her a coach or training in executive presence. Sickening that she never understood the prior A-F system or any TN edu policy.

[Josh Cowen @joshcowenMI]

That’s not going to happen while Gov. Lee is outsourcing #tned to Betsy DeVos.

Right-wing rejection of free lunch at public school is part of the push to bailout private schools with #schoolvouchers.

Why? Free public school meals put pressure on private schools to do the same.

[Kelly D. Johnson @JohnsonKellyd]

It is important to stay informed regarding the history, larger political agenda, and how a "select few" desperately hopes panic sets in before General Assembly begins. There is Always More to the Story: The Facts Behind School Letter Grades https://t.co/1A9HoO3lF5

[Arkansas Advocate || bsky @arkansasadvocate.com @ArkAdvocate]

A proposed constitutional amendment submitted to the Arkansas attorney general today would require all schools receiving state funds to meet the same set of academic and accreditation standards. https://t.co/uzz17HvJDY

[Jimmy Sullivan @DrJimmySullivan]

While I’m proud of the recognition for our schools. A-F is not the issue, its TDOEs placement of an accountability system RETROACTIVELY on performance from 8 months ago. I remain disgusted with the way this accountability system was created, communicated, and unveiled by TDOE.

[Jimmy Sullivan @DrJimmySullivan]

In an email to Directors from TDOE yesterday, the “business rules” were changed less than 24 hours before release. How can schools and districts hit targets when the targets are created after the fact and changed all the way up until the release date? #lackoftransparency
