I wonder how the stock market is going to react to the tariffs. I think we pretty much know…@RebeccaJarvis

@SoniaMManzano Yay, Sonia!

@emmabgo Great article, Emma. Especially interested in the comment that the effectiveness will largely be determined by the impact on children. Hope you can explore this angle further.

@peggyflanagan Same!

Thank you for your kind understanding.

Oh dear: GOP-endorsed MN senate candidate tweeted out a map purporting to show "crime in Minneapolis... Out of control." It was actually a map of drinking fountains in the city.

@bookcritics @LaurieHertzel @washingtonpost A bit late but I just read your review of this book, Laurie. Sounds fascinating!

Love this by @HewittSTrib in his review of Dogland: “every single dog is somebody’s Best in Show.” 👏

Public leaders deserve our support as they lead our communities. No one should face any online abuse, particularly women & people from diverse backgrounds. Am so impressed by Her Excellency Mary Simon's continued leadership as #WeDeserveBetter. @EqualVoiceCA @GGCanada

@abmack33 @TallTechyTeach @mollydett Thank you, to this librarian, to you, Amanda, and to librarians everywhere for fighting with us and for us for the #RightToRead! #UniteAgainstBookBans

[Joyce Johannson @joycempls]

Great to see this! #RightToRead #UniteAgainstBookBans

I say this as a former teacher: Censorship has no place in our libraries. We need to remember our history, not erase it.

We're celebrating National School Library Month by putting an end to book bans based on ideology in Minnesota.

[Governor Tim Walz @GovTimWalz]

Happy Reading Month, Minnesota!

Last year, we took action to get every single student in Minnesota reading at or above grade level, including putting more resources behind school libraries. Thank you to all the educators helping our kids learn to read – and love to read.

[Joyce Johannson @joycempls]

Hooray @GovTimWalz

[Governor Tim Walz @GovTimWalz]

At a time when thousands of book titles are being banned across the country, Minnesota is making sure books remain accessible to teach and inspire the next generation of readers.

[Joyce Johannson @joycempls]

@RebeccaJarvis Haha

Thank you @etanthomas36 and Tom Hanks

2023 was an eventful year for @rogerfedererfdn! The highlight was my family’s visit to Lesotho. Over the year, 115 new preschool classes were created and the private sector raised $3.5 million for early education. See below for more on the entire School Readiness Initiative⬇️

[Jo @JoJoFromJerz]

Yep. This just about says it all. 😂

[Education Minnesota @EducationMN]

White Bear Lake educator Karin Hogen has spent at least $1,000 on classroom supplies each of the past 15 years. Thank you @MaryKunesh9 for your bill establishing a state tax refund for these expenses. It's a small token of appreciation, but one that's needed! #mnleg #edmnvotes

[Governor Tim Walz @GovTimWalz]

Especially popular in the lunchroom. You can’t learn trigonometry if you’re focused on where your next meal is coming from.
