The public school is the single most democratic institution Americans have created in the past two centuries. We should all do at least one thing every day to save and improve them.

Listen, I'm full of sadness and fury right now. That's what you're seeing here.

But I'm also determined. And pragmatic. If there is a single of my GOP colleagues who is moved to action by what happened today, I am ready to work with you. I am ready to compromise. To save lives.

These are elementary school children who woke up this morning. Who ate their favorite cereal. Who tied their shoes in double knots. Who laughed with friends on the bus. Now more than a dozen are dead. This isn’t normal. It doesn’t have to be this way. It can’t keep being this way

This thread will be dedicated to the victims of the mass shooting in Buffalo.

This is Ruth Whitfield, 86. Her son, the former Buffalo Fire Commissioner, said she was on her way from visiting her husband in a nursing home and stopped at the store to get something to eat.

We are stronger today than we were a year ago — and we will be stronger a year from now than we are today.”

@FoodTruckSchola Purdue OWL is a go-to resource in my high school social studies classes — its citation information is comprehensive, easy to use, and accessible. My students and I depend on this tool. Hope Purdue prioritizes funding for the English department and continues to support the OWL 🙏🏻

I’m running for Governor because opportunity in our state shouldn’t be determined by zip code, background or access to power. #gapol

Though we strobed
That we came in peace,
He was already at war.
We have battled hard to be.
Nothing—
Nothing—
Can keep you safe.
Silence least of all.
Look alive, everyone.
May such a prayer,
A people,
A peace,
A promise,
Be ours.
Be right
& radiant
& real.
