I inspire to be to the kind of person my students think I am

[Tina K @tinakellerr]

Today I truly feel blessed, not because things are great but because I have great people

[Tina K @tinakellerr]

@laurenTarshis Oh my class would love this! I have a lot of students who are obsessed and would just be stocked to zoom!

@teacherquit @TheReelRandom A list of "teacher skills" translated for the business world. Posted in one of my teacher groups:

[Tyler Rablin @Mr_Rablin]

For non-teaching friends who don't understand why teaching is so stressful, imagine this scenario. You have to run meetings all day long. You get virtually no time to prepare for the meetings. During the meetings, there are 30 people in the room who are forced to be there.

The thing people often don’t talk about in teaching is how much of it is a performance. No matter what’s going on in your life you stand up in front of those kids and perform and if you’re ill or something challenging is going on in your personal life, that’s exhausting.

Teacher tired isn't just about all the decisions made each day or trying to engage and teach a classroom full of students, which is a lot, but it is also the energy, love, & care that they put into helping all those students become their best self. Thank You Teachers!

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

Many Republicans have called the Bipartisan Infrastructure program “socialist.” Then, they asked for money from it.

You can’t make this stuff up.

[Hank Green @hankgreen]

I just got a text from a friend who works on energy policy in Montana saying the Inflation Reduction Act basically took their goals from impossible to achievable in one day.

@literacydocent Whenever possible shut the door or use headphones. The building is full of distractions and finding ways to block them out is helpful

[Elizabeth Hidalgo Reese (Yunpovi) @yunpovi]

Yes, congress could fix the #CastroHuerta decision.
But the problem is deeper.
Our government structure isn't working for us, it's working against us, as #SCOTUS is proving as they break and take what Americans hold so dear.
Wrote this in @nybooks about #Dobbs but relevant today:

[Governor Bob Ferguson @GovBobFerguson]

The law remains unchanged in Washington state, but the threat to patient access and privacy has never been more dangerous. Even in Washington state, Republicans have introduced about 40 bills in the past six years to roll back abortion rights and access to reproductive care.

[Tina K @tinakellerr]

@RepNewhouse As others have pointed out, you voted against the aide in formula. Blaming Biden Administration doesn’t cover up you are not acting in the peoples’ interest. Start taking responsibility

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

Over the last two decades, more school-age children have died from guns than on-duty police officers and active duty military combined.

Think about that.

For God’s sake how much more carnage are we willing to accept?

[Don Winslow @donwinslow]

As an investigator for 15 years I want to highlight for the media that there are SIGNIFICANT inconsistencies in the story being told by the Uvalde Police Dept about the response time and the timeline of the shooting.

Story keeps changing.

This should be thoroughly investigated.

[Qasim Rashid, Esq. @QasimRashid]

The Parkland Cops ran away. The Buffalo Cop was killed instantly. The 3 Cops at Uvalde were overpowered, then waited 40 min to enter the school.

Veteran Cops repeatedly failed—but we’re supposed to expect Lunch Lady Doris & School Nurse Betty to stop a terrorist with an AR-15.😑

[Tina K @tinakellerr]

Was seriously about to looking up books to read to my 3rd grade class, knowing they’ll hear about today’s elementary school… definitely had to take a moment to express how SAD and messed up that is #education #EndGunViolence

[Amanda Gorman @TheAmandaGorman]

It takes a monster to kill children. But to watch monsters kill children again and again and do nothing isn’t just insanity—it’s inhumanity.

[Tina K @tinakellerr]

@RepNewhouse Why isn’t there more medical care available with your district? What are ways you are working to address the accessibility to medical care? Asking as a person within your district having to travel for my own more simple medical care.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

You want to bring down inflation?

Let’s make sure the wealthiest corporations pay their fair share.

[Tina K @tinakellerr]

@chrisrockward I think changing names for events just to show the flexibility with who goes could be helpful and easy way to be inclusive.

[Mallory McMorrow @MalloryMcMorrow]

No child alive today is responsible for slavery. No one is this room is responsible for slavery.

But each and every single one of us bears responsibility for writing the next chapter of history. We decides what happens next, and how WE respond to history and the world around us.
