Everyone depends on the USPS. Seniors for their Social Security, veterans for their prescriptions, small businesses trying to keep their doors open. They can't be collateral damage for an administration more concerned with suppressing the vote than suppressing a virus.

Michelle and I want to do our part to give all you parents a break today, so we’re reading “The Word Collector” for @chipublib. It’s a fun book that vividly illustrates the transformative power of words––and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

@Ms_BlackCCSD Ms. Black, you have done an incredible job this year. Mya and I are so grateful for your love, encouragement, and wonderful support! Well done "first year teacher"! You did well!

Today is one of those days that I feel the RTI "process" has failed... And, my heart is breaking. 😢

No, students don’t need to repeat a grade.
No, students don’t need to attend summer school.
No, teachers don’t need to cram 3 months of school into next year.

There will be gaps. There were gaps before the pandemic. Old school ways won’t close gaps.

Change the narrative.

I’m proud to endorse my friend @JoeBiden for President of the United States. Let's go: https://t.co/maHVGRozkX

Today the Boston Globe editorial board wrote: “the president has blood on his hands.” That’s the terrible truth, but almost as awful is how many Americans are in denial about that reality and are complicit in his rewriting of history.

Districts, please make sure you have realistic expectations for teachers & parents right now. They are all doing amazing under these conditions, but Unrealistic expectations puts too much pressure to perform & guilt if they don’t meet them. No one needs that unnecessary stress.

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

A month ago, Trump said: “It’s going to disappear. One day, it’s like a miracle, it will disappear.”

Yesterday, he said: “I don’t believe you need 40,000 or 30,000 ventilators.”

What will it take to get @realdonaldtrump to listen to experts instead of his own hunches?

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Here’s a useful summary of the current best thinking among public health experts on how we need to approach the fight against COVID-19 in the coming weeks. https://t.co/7cy71sKLVG
