I have reported The Des Moines Register for publishing COVID19 misinformation. I don't care if you call it opinion. Who in the hell made that decision? @DMRegister - Iowa is being ravaged and you post this from a kid with a BA?? I can't.

@RickLangel @tonyleys @LauraRBelin @RickLangel what are your credentials and what is your data and where did you get it from? One cannot just say “wrong”. It’s the land of misinformation. If you claim this previous tweet is misinformed- how do you know better? If you are so passionate about truth-prove it.

On a call with @IAPublicHealth right now. If the Governor chose to, she could allow schools to determine their own mask policy based on local circumstances via public health emergency order, it would override the irresponsible mask preemption law.

Just in case you wondered- @KimReynoldsIA does NOT care about your children. Neither do the Iowa Republican state reps. Check out latest legislation being proposed.

[KCCI News @KCCINews]

Overnight, Gov. Kim Reynolds signed a new bill banning mask mandates in schools and cities. The move has Iowa school districts scrambling to react Thursday morning: https://t.co/lbDIx9lEow

If you didn’t know it, @KimReynoldsIA is cruel.

Imagine driving to school to teach on a Thursday with 9 school days left and getting this email.

I have dozens of things to say but also absolutely no energy to say them.

Hey @Target - experts say the opposite of what you are doing.

[KCCI News @KCCINews]

These people still need to mask up even if vaccinated, experts say https://t.co/2RDxjEejMG

Any @simple customers trying to get connected with @BBVA_USA ?It’s literally impossible.And it’s wrong that they can hold our $ hostage w/ ZERO communication. We’ve called numerous times, sat on hold for hours- only to be connected and dropped. Can’t wait to STOP banking here.

So excited to see my bestie @emilysparkles win the Waukee Schools Teacher of the Year award

@Steenhoek3 I do know you! 😃and I hear you. I just think it’s not an either/or thing. There’s a third path- a both/and that has space for authenticity modeling, too. If we strive to teach the whole child, we need to care and support the whole teacher, too.

@Trevornoah @TheDailyShow

[Emily House @emilysparkles]

Long shot: I want my students to read Born a Crime by @Trevornoah but I only have 30 copies; sharing books isn’t it during Covid. Anyone know how I can get about 110 more copies for cheap? Print or ebook!

Please RT!

Also, Mr. Noah, we’ll welcome anything you can share 🤷🏻‍♀️😁

Classrooms need more LGBTQIA+ books, and this one is absolutely gorgeous. Will you help me get it published? https://t.co/ALXnYrCUkD #LGBTQIAofTwitter #TransTwitter #lgbtqiabooks #publishing #representationmatters #teachertwitter #inclusivelibrary

@degroote44 @GlennonDoyle Are you reading this right now?! I LOVE this book!

[Randy Richardson @RandyOnEd]

On September 15 2826 Iowa educators had tested positive for COVID. One week later that number had increased to 3318. Educators are at risk and yet the Governor continues to push on. #insanity

This is so true:

Weekend coffee hits differently when you don’t have to rip your mask off every two minutes to get a drink.

Black Lives Matter.
Science is real.
Quality and Equitable education should be given to ALL students.
The pandemic isn’t over.
Trump is a dangerous, self-seeking racist, sexist white man with too much power.

@emilysparkles Lol YES. 😓😓😓😓
