All students deserve #FReadom of access/choice. "In the Supreme Court case Island Trees School District v. Pico (1982), the Court held that the 1st Amendment limits the power of junior high and high school officials to remove books from school libraries because of their content."

@VanJones68 I am so sorry for the loss to your community. Your empassioned and emotional response to Mr. Floyd’s lawyer’s recitation of all the black lives lost to the police was an extremely astute and moving analysis. Thank you.

@Derek_Lindgren @brodoland@BernieSanders Truth. We are 10 month employees that ask for our paychecks to be extended. We also work 8 hours per day M-F yet take home 20-30 extra uncompensated work.
@BernieSanders I love the sentiment, but this isn’t enough if you have student loans. The mandatory nature is education devalues it (incorrectly!) because it should be ubiquitous. However, if you want an expert teacher in the room, you need to pay expert prices.

2. 🚢😡

3. 😡🌬️💲🧝♀️⛈️

4. 😭
Now I am drowning, and drowning in tears
Since we're all (rightly) obsessing about the ancient Greek D&G fashion show, this seems like the right time to rank every outfit in order of how much I want to wear them to teach/conference. I will also be declaring what sort of ancient world energy they have. This is definitive
Tens of thousands of Floridians have been forced out of their homes since Hurricane Michael. Congress has yet to pass a disaster relief funding bill.
And to make matters worse, the new hurricane season begins this weekend. https://t.co/BozMy2wmXh
@DisneyFoodBlog I 2nd and 3rd Tiffins & Jiko. The former for the freshness of the food (I once called their potatoes the Platonic ideal of potato) & the latter for distinctive meals. Restaurant Marrakech also ranks high: great food, amazing atmosphere, show with dinner—a memorable experience!
@Alyssa_Milano This. It’s not about JB, it’s about how someone else felt. Rather than trite excuses for his actions, he takes ownership. Hope his apology is accepted, but the convo needs to be about interaction/result/recovery NOT “that’s his he always is so it’s ok”.
