@ShaiDavidai @Columbia @ShaiDavidai I'm a Teacher's College alum. How can I add my name to this letter? So immensely proud of what these students have written

All Joe had to do was take a picture with Jimmy for the 70s to come back: gas lines, inflation, Middle East fighting. Maybe no more visits...

@RBReich History check: Yes, FDR absolutely had to confront a paranoid, xenophobic, racist opposition. Father Coughlin. Pro-Nazi rallies at MSG

"We have a youth-to-adult transition for which there are no maps,” Carnevale said. “The only through-line is counseling and student services, because if you supply those along the way you can connect the dots [for students] and move people.”

[Sam Wallis @samuelwallis]

Such an important reminder that the transition to college is about more than school. It's about transitioning to adulthood. And kids need guideshttps://www.edweek.org/teaching-learning/this-is-not-a-good-time-to-fall-off-the-college-track-students-are-doing-it-anyway/2021/03?

I RESENT the anger I feel because of the last 4 years

[John Harwood @JohnJHarwood]

among other things, this impeachment debate is demonstrating that the moral-equivalence-both-sides-do-it-so-we’re-being-victimized Republican reflex is as crazy as QAnon

“I’m taking a principled stand to focus on laws/exec orders/actions, and not just on Tweets and Twitter, which don’t matter” (except when it suits my grievance narrative to claim that all that matters are Tweets and Twitter, then principle be damned)

[Sam Wallis @samuelwallis]

“I’m taking a principled stand to defend the First Amendment” (except the part about a non-state-run press, in that case principle be damned)

[Sam Wallis @samuelwallis]

“I’m taking a principled stand to defend corporations’ freedom to choose who to serve (cakes)” (except when my side doesn’t get served, then principle be damned)

[Sam Wallis @samuelwallis]

As long as the only principle conservatives believe in is their own grievance the future is only going to get worse.

To anyone complaining about a private media company kicking Trump off their platform:

Think of Twitter as a Christian bakery and Trump as a gay wedding cake.

Here’s Trump’s public schedule for the weekend.

[Abby D. Phillip @abbydphillip]

Hi, the president can release statements via the White House anytime he wants. Just FYI.

[Randall Winston @randall_wins]

A downside of the Twitter ban is that loyalists who were finally criticizing trump are now going to pivot and start defending him. A total loss of momentum as the conversation changes.
