@SDECoxHealth @SDECoxHealth I thought you were Hugh Jackman in this photo. I thought “Who knew, Hugh Jackman is a Cardinals fan!”

People want gun control.

[Ginney Norton @GinneyNortonPhD]

Happening now at Central High School. Chanting “What do we want? Gun Control. When do we want it? Now!”

[Melisa Colvin @MelisaColvin]

Those who can change the law, don’t care to. Tell me, what would his purpose be to ask kids what gun they want to be shot with? This is gross.

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

Today @WilliamLamberth, a Tennessee state representative, asked students protesting gun violence which gun they’d like him to use when shooting them: “If there’s a firearm out there you’re comfortable being shot with, please show me which one it is.”

@taylorsschumann This is evil. No other words for it. Just plain evil.

[Charles Taylor @DruryRhetCAT]

This article crystallizes perfectly what is at stake in the April 4 ⁦@officialSPS⁩ Board election. If you value experience over extremism and classroom teachers over culture wars, I urge you to vote for Judy Brunner and Shurita Thomas-Tate.

@PressGaney @TGandhi_Safety @MedellBriggsMD I missed this discussion, any way to watch it tomorrow? I am a virtual attendee.

@PressGaney “We need to be close to those who are suffering.”

[Press Ganey @PressGaney]

“If we’re going to reduce suffering and improve the #humanexperience, we have to understand that our willingness to get proximate is key." -Bryan Stevenson, #HX23 Keynote Speaker

@PeaceLuvandSoOn @tripeirodudley I wish there was required therapy for those that enter law enforcement. They forget it’s to protect and “serve” literally a service job. The actions we see police carry out doesn’t look like service.

[Mohamad Safa @mhdksafa]

For the record: cops aren’t supposed to kill guilty people either.

[Melisa Colvin @MelisaColvin]

@WordsbySeth I’m sorry Seth. I can’t imagine your loss. May the peace of God fill you and your wife. ❤️

[Corina Newsome, M.Sc. @hood_naturalist]

It’s fascinating that so much of “DEI training” is teaching white people how to have basic human decency in their interactions with people who are not white. It truly blows my mind.

Naming the classroom supplies is the greatest idea!

[Mr Tarrant @mrTteaching]

Well naming the glue sticks worked. None lost in a full million week long half term. However there have been traumatic scenes today as “Ethel is empty- she’s got nothing left to give!”

[Melisa Colvin @MelisaColvin]

I’ve been in this situation.
The difference?
I left.
The verbally abusive teacher was never reprimanded.

[#yourdailyfred @yesthatteacher]

I cried actual tears for a student over the way another teacher treated them today. Some people need to do a different job.

[Melisa Colvin @MelisaColvin]

Stop voting for Republicans. They don’t care about the working class.
Full stop.

[Missouri House Democratic Campaign Committee @MO_HouseDems]

Republican candidate for HD 34, JC Crossley says Missourians working two jobs to make ends meet are "a drag on society," that don't "contribute to society."

By giving tax breaks to the 1% or callously belittling working Missourians, Republicans are out of touch with Missourians.
