@maryarchived What recent animated movie has made a cultural impact?

[Ryan Erickson-Kulas @RyanHEK]

@KeithRaad @MetsBooth there is a bus that goes to Dodger Stadium. The Dodger Express goes to Union Station then you can take the Metro. Best way to get to the game! Agree driving is brutal.

@Metsmerized Sync the video with @HowieRose on the radio and it's a beautiful experience.

@GJN27__ @WxMets @TMKSESPN What the reasoning?

[Ryan Erickson-Kulas @RyanHEK]

📚 New Report! Our survey sheds light students’ experiences with automatic textbook billing, highlighting a disconnect between the programs’ claims and the savings students realize.

I can think of no other situation where two 3rd parties meet, determine how much something will cost you, & then YOU need to figure out how NOT to pay for it.

Yet this is happening all over the country when it comes to textbooks.

Thank you to every Senator that signed on!

Grateful to have spent the day with champions for equity in education celebrating 20 years of #VisionandAction from @CollegeOpp!

[Michelson 20MM Foundation @Michelson20MM]

At @CollegeOpp's event, we heard from community college equity leaders in CA about how to redesign placement & transfer pathways for greater student success across racial/ethnic groups. As Chancellor @sonyachristian says, we must "take college to those who have been left out."

[Michelson 20MM Foundation @Michelson20MM]

🗓️ Mark your calendar for November 30th! Join @RyanHEK and Kenia Miranda Verdugo to explore the 2023 #SmartJustice #SparkGrants funding cycle. They’ll dive into the focus areas and will answer any questions you may have: https://t.co/8hi5GLUSVz

[Michelson 20MM Foundation @Michelson20MM]

In yesterday's @EdSource panel, @CailynNagle shared that a @uspirg survey revealed 65% of students skipped buying textbooks due to cost. "This means students are being priced out of participating in classes that they’ve already paid tuition for.” https://t.co/MPWqhGFvDK

[Michelson Center for Public Policy @michelsonpolicy]

We commend @GavinNewsom for signing #AB1418 into law which will increase fair housing opportunities & end discriminatory “crime-free” housing policies that have historically penalized tenants who interact with law enforcement. TY @AsmTinaMcKinnor @alex_lee @LolaForSenate #CALeg

[Michelson 20MM Foundation @Michelson20MM]

Great news! @GavinNewsom signed #AB607 into law! We applaud @Ash_Kalra, @ib2_real, and @AsmCervantes for their leadership in improving cost transparency for California college students, and we are thrilled for this step forward in #educationequity! #CALeg

[Ryan Erickson-Kulas @RyanHEK]

Couldn't attend in person but grateful to the @SalemReporter, @ElsinoreTheatre, and @ccmediasalem (yay livestream!) for tonight's town hall on the proposed payroll tax.
