UPDATE: Kamala Harris' husband Doug Emhoff will make two stops in Aroostook County Saturday afternoon. He'll meet with potato farmers in Presque Isle and will then host a "get out the vote" rally in Fort Fairfield. https://t.co/t8Q2r006wK

Today is the birthday of Sara Ware Basset (1872-1968). Her novels are all about New England, specifically Cape Cod. Her novel, The Harbor Road (1919), was made into a silent movie called Danger Ahead (1921), but no copies of the movie exist. #mwwc #unelibraries #capecod

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

AOC is a name given to me by community & the people. Y’all can call me AOC.

Government colleagues referring to each other in a public or professional context (aka who don’t know me like that) should refer to their peers as “Congresswoman,” “Representative,”etc. Basic respect 101

The coronavirus spreading inside the White House is a stark reminder of the danger of relying only on testing to prevent outbreaks.

"A negative test does not give free license to forego all other safety measures," says a scientist at Columbia University.

A woman can be a blacksmith.
A woman can be a teacher.
A woman can be a scientist.

Great news out of the Biden-Harris team: If elected, Biden will decriminalize marijuana & expunge marijuana-use convictions.

The war on drugs has been deeply harmful to communities of color for years & this could be a huge victory. Biden is listening. https://t.co/ghMD44NLAh

Not only are registration deadlines approaching, so are mail-in ballot request deadlines. If you’re voting by mail, check your registration and then request your ballot ASAP. https://t.co/Xbh8sbcnXD

[Greenpeace International @Greenpeace]

The planet is at a breaking point. Governments must fully respect people’s rights and protect nature. We need to radically transform the way we produce and consume to ease pressure on nature’s support systems. If we protect nature, nature will protect us. #GreenRecovery #GBO5

[James Herbert @JamesHerbert]

I take seriously my responsibility to protect each other & @unetweets community. Please safeguard our ability to continue studying, teaching, and working on campus. By caring for the welfare of one another, we can help to prevent the spread of coronavirus. #UNEPromise #MaskUpUNE

“It is important to study if we want to become someone in society, to serve our country and our family.” 

15-year-old Angele is attending outdoor classes. She is one of the lucky few who have been able to continue studying during the pandemic. https://t.co/LsyN4jZ38t
