We've spent too long wasting the time of students parents & teachers. If you see a part of the system that isn't working-change it #edreform

Hey @NPR, I ordered an item from your shop back in September, haven’t received it, and haven’t been able to get a refund. All customer service inquires have told me that y’all changed merchandise companies and cannot access past records in order to issue a refund-help! 😩

Happy Black History Month. We need reparations — for slavery and the world it created.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

On a day for the history books, @TheAmandaGorman delivered a poem that more than met the moment. Young people like her are proof that "there is always light, if only we're brave enough to see it; if only we're brave enough to be it."

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

Wasn't @TheAmandaGorman’s poem just stunning? She's promised to run for president in 2036 and I for one can't wait.

He's gone. And now, it is up to us to drive out what he represents. He is lies and bigotry and injustice and tyranny embodied--and the work is only beginning to drive him out of our body politic.

Joy, today.

Resolve, tomorrow.

The best thing I've read so far on post-pandemic teaching.

"Resist the pressure to 'fix' the kids and make up for the 'lost' time. The children do not need to be fixed. They need to be heard."

Forcing teachers to teach remotely from the school building, with no students in their classroom, is abuse.

[Dr. Jill Biden @DrBiden]

Together, we will build a world where the accomplishments of our daughters will be celebrated, rather than diminished.

[Stephanie Pinkin @MrsPinkinReads]

@ImSpeaking13 Yes. Always.

1/ Wow. @mPinoe gave the best response to "now we must reach across the aisle" thing during an interview on @npratc today:

"Unity is going to come after acknowledgement and responsibility is taken and accountability for the harm that has been done [by Trump & GOP]"

So what you’re saying is that when voting is easier for all people, you’re more likely to lose

The power is truly in the people.

[Matthew A. Cherry @MatthewACherry]

Shout out to @staceyabrams and all the organizers on the ground now and all of those who came before because what’s happening in GA is incredible

[Dr. Lauryn Mascareñaz @laurynmaria]

I’m just over here wondering how White Fragility was at the top of the bestseller list for months and we still got this electoral outcome.
Looks like a whole lot of people didn’t go to the book club meetings. 👀

This would be the point in the evening when Congressman Lewis would start calling asking for results for particular races he was following around the country and... I just miss him so much.

“We will maintain the hope of children by calling actual snow days.” Somebody please give this school superintendent a raise.

[Angie Thomas @angiecthomas]

Pro-tip: save yourself from unnecessary stress. It's okay to walk away, it's okay to say no, it's okay to say you're done. Period.
