@newskag Are they going to repair our school buildings? Are they going to fund the rehab of the schools that they aren’t closing and all of the ones that are in desperate need of modernization? What exactly is their plan? Are they going to oppose charter schools so we have enough kids?

Celebrating the 100 year anniversary of Chestnut Hill Friends Meeting today! We had a picnic at the rise of meeting for worship. I interviewed several Quaker meeting members for the @StoryCorps archive—moved by their dedication to social justice and turning faith into action.

A beautiful conversation with @Mohamad_Abedi ❤️.

I'm sharing my story in a difficult time for Palestinians and Lebanon, where we found refuge after being exiled from Haifa. I want to honor those who suffered the most and never got to live out their dreams—my grandparents, Jido Ali and Taita Khadejeh. I hope they’re proud (1/3)

A great @ezraklein deep dive on #immigration with secretary of homeland security @AliMayorkas.

Mayorkas says that the 3 goals of immigration are:

1. Economic prosperity
2. Family unification
3. Humanitarian relief

Do you agree?
