@dottiegw @NateSilver538 If only the danger of white supremacy was already IN curricula, maybe this wouldn’t have even happened.

So often we hear, “I didn’t know what to say” when we encounter hate, racism, & bias. I love that you’ve given your school community language to interrupt & speak up in these moments. 🙌🏾@SUABULLDOGS #OneDegreeShift #SpeakUp

“... to make to make [their] own decisions / to ask questions of the universe, then to learn to live- at no matter the risk. This is the only hope society has” - Baldwin @tomnewpaltz @HVWP @MsZamoraEdu @RethinkSchools @writingproject

We are going to fight for educators and students.

That means hiring more counselors and school nurses.

That means paying educators what they're worth.

That means protecting the right to organize.

We’re also seeing a lot of @48hours comments saying, “It’s not that easy to JUST LEAVE an abuser.”

To that end, we want to share Nikki’s full sentencing statement: https://t.co/AE8XGpXz2W

We should all be disturbed to see Chana Krauss — someone who works for an elected DA entrusted with protecting their community — boldly ignoring and distorting the truth, and gaslighting a victim on national TV.

@crimeandall @48hours This article clears up some important information about the case. If we had laws were written based on DV, it all would have been clearer to jury. https://t.co/EqwuMZ3tyv

[Fiona McKenna 💜 @fionafmckenna]

@crimeandall @48hours It was kill or be killed, the kids included. She saved their lives. No, no one wins here but there are 3 people alive still fighting for each other.

For those who saw #NicoleAddimando’s case on @48hours last night with @RLSWrites, read her @NewYorker article here: https://t.co/DPeatN6Gxw

America, I’m honored that you have chosen me to lead our great country.

The work ahead of us will be hard, but I promise you this: I will be a President for all Americans — whether you voted for me or not.

I will keep the faith that you have placed in me.
