I have a piece in the @washingtonpost today: math is hard and we should tell our students the truth about it. https://t.co/3OKFBpGigr

[Elyssa Stoddard @math_stodd]

Yep.

[Ben Rhodes @brhodes]

Trump doubling down on oil in the face of climate science is the same as him making fun of people wearing masks. It's time for leaders who live in reality.

"But the COVID‑19 debacle has also touched—and implicated—nearly every other facet of American society: its shortsighted leadership, its disregard for expertise, its racial inequities, its social-media culture, and its fealty to a dangerous strain of individualism"

🚨🚨Here’s the big piece I’ve been promising: an Atlantic cover story about the US’s catastrophic mishandling of the pandemic. It’s a full autopsy of what went wrong, every unattended weakness & unheeded warning, every festering wound & reopened scar. 1/

It's #NationalVoterRegistrationDay, our second favorite voting-related holiday. Head over to https://t.co/bDssdfnuCB to register, confirm your registration is up-to-date, or volunteer to get other people registered. Then treat yourself to a democracy cookie, you earned it.

[Anderson Cooper 360° @AC360]

You said "what punishment of gods are not gifts. Do you really believe that?" @andersoncooper, choking back tears, asks Stephen Colbert, as they discuss grief.

"Yes," replies the comedian. "It's a gift to exist and with existence comes suffering. There's no escaping that."

@yeah_ironman @katie_pacy @lexi_rossi6 I'm always down to answer a math question 😊

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

This is worth a read: a thought-provoking reminder that education reform isn’t a cure-all. As a supporter of education reform, I agree that fixing educational inequality requires doing more to address the broader, systemic sources of economic inequality. https://t.co/96B7fkBM4u

[Angela 👩🏾‍💻👩🏾‍🏫 @wokeSTEMteacher]

Stop asking students:

1) What college do you want to go to?

2) What do you want to study?

3) What do you want to be when you grow up?

Start asking students:
How do you want to impact the world?

Then, determine a course of action from there.
