Today, I am directing every state to prioritize educators for vaccination. We want every educator, school staff member, and child-care worker to receive at least one shot by the end of this month.

It’s time to treat in-person learning like the essential service that it is.

“Democracy is central to America’s idea of itself,” Vann R. Newkirk II writes. But that idea was not a reality until the passage of the Voting Rights Act in 1965. https://t.co/dnWEYGh0kD

Maybe we RI could vaccinate some teachers...

[Ted Nesi @TedNesi]

RI's adult population is about 855,000 people

CDC has shipped RI about 228,000 doses

So in theory - RI has enough doses here in the state to have given a first shot to 1 in 4 adult residents

Right now tho, only about 1 in *10* adults has gotten a shot https://t.co/uK1NnLusZw

[Safe Schools RI @safereturnRI]

According to this chart from ABC news, Rhode Island is one of two states that completely ignored CDC guidelines and decided not to prioritize teacher vaccinations. @RIHEALTH @GovRaimondo @LGDanMcKee #CrushCovidRI

Georgia, thank you. Together, we have changed the course of our state for the better. But our work is not done.

So ridiculous. Donald must work on his Anger Management problem, then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend! Chill Donald, Chill!

Honestly, I feel like it was false advertising.

Mitch McConnell in 2016: “The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president."

As a youth speaker mentioned on Friday at the Providence protest: Required curriculums MUST teach real history, as even our state leaders do not know it.

Some art from last night’s celebration of life for Breonna Taylor in Providence. Beautiful event organized by Nafis White of @AS220 #blacklivesmatter #artmatters (Not sure of artists’ handles- please comment or @ artist for credit!)

This is a history many of us did not learn about in school.. highly recommended 1 hour education of the history of policing

[Throughline @throughlineNPR]

With the recent killings of African Americans by the police, the epidemic of this violence is again in the news. But, this history has existed since the formation of policing in America.

“Black people, we’ve always been upset,” he said. “We’ve always had this type of energy. But to feel it from everybody else. Look out here today. It’s people from all races, colors, creeds, and genders. And that right there speaks volumes" https://t.co/jcQlLneIUu
