Until you turn your assignment in, I will have automated phone calls and texts spam your phone ceaselessly until you hand it in reminding you that the future rests on your shoulders.

Were you one of the people that knocked doors for Nithya Raman? It paid off. Contributed to her campaign or the @LosAngelesFwd IE? Every effort helped!

[Loraine Lundquist 🦋 @lorainelundquist.bsky.social @LoraineForLA]

Oh hell yes!! @nithyavraman is over 50%!
I am so proud of the work we did at @LosAngelesFwd (where I’m now chair of the board) to help make this happen! On the coordinated side, several participants in our Progressive Campaign Leadership Academy volunteered for her campaign…1/3

Today, the @usgs turns 145 years! We rely on the science they provide on water, mineral resources and natural hazards that threaten lives. USGS scientists develop methods and tools to enable timely, and useful information about the Earth and its processes.

Happy Birthday USGS!

I never thought I would be an advocate for standardized testing, but it's amazing how much visible tests steer resources. Gone are the days of a singular focus on math and reading devoid of application or context!

Who else has a goal to get off gas in 2024? I'm most of the way there -- switched to electric heat pump water heater, electric dryer, induction stove, and electric car -- only furnace to go!

Ready to switch from gas to electric appliances? Here's how https://t.co/VlE5WVbzw0

9,999 miles on our @madsencycles -- our family's pedal-powered minivan for three kids over the last decade. Looking forward to breaking 10k!

[Matthew d'Alessio @dalessioCSUN]

The countdown begins... 9,910 miles logged on my @madsencycles. Will the odometer blow up in 90 miles when I cross 10k?
