“White privilege” does not mean your life is easy, it means your life is not harder because you are white. #aasi #WeAreEagles @DGJonesSmith @techhubbs

@IjeomaOluo Long stretchy band tied between the front 2 chair legs, or table legs. Catch it with your feet/ankles and have some resistance as you move them back and forth. It uses some of the energy, but also allows you to get into a cadence which helped some of my ADHD students focus.

@doctor_bombay @a2runner @GovWhitmer A mandate can also be another word for executive order

@a2runner @GCemborski @GovWhitmer Governor Whitmer did not ask Congress to pass a law, she asked Trump to “issue a federal mandate”.

To protect our families from this virus, we need the Trump administration to issue a federal mask mandate. If more Americans wear a mask in public, we can save lives and put ourselves in a better position to send our children back to school. Read more: nytimes.com/2020/07/22/opi…

@LKNlifeliberty @TruthtogetherO @TheDailyShow Or we can get a federal mandate to wear masks and social distance, and make everyone safer so these scenarios are far less likely for everyone, not just those of us who work for schools.

@TruthtogetherO @TheDailyShow Have you asked these questions about your grocery store workers? They have a job to do, and God bless them that they come in to do it. Teachers are needed to do the same.

Dear God. It's the second wave.

@doctor_bombay @GovWhitmer What part of the constitution prevents a mandate to wear masks? I must have missed that part. Maybe it's in the amendment that gives you the right to walk around naked. Wait... There isn't one.

@GovWhitmer What the hell is a "federal mandate"? Where's the legal authority for that? Or are we throwing out "the law" in addition to "the science" and "the data"?

After so many months of not hearing it in the President's briefings, I somehow thought he stopped calling it that. But alas, I simply haven't heard it because he wasn't bothering to have briefings.

Can we please stop calling it "the China Virus?" Besides sounding like "vagina virus," it's racist. We don't call anything "The White Supremacist Virus," which would be less racist.

Today, President Trump threatened to send federal law enforcement into many cities, including Detroit. Frankly, he doesn't know the first thing about Detroit. If he did, he’d know Detroiters gathered to peacefully protest the systemic racism that Black Americans face every day.

The United States of America should not have secret police.

Judge Mary Ellen Brennan, I challenge you to read @IjeomaOluo's So You Want to Talk About Race, esp chapter on school-to-prison pipeline, & then tell us how this was the right decision. You are harming, not helping, this child! propublica.org/article/judge-…

@IjeomaOluo Listening to your book, and it's truly enlightening. It should be on the bookshelf of all who want to improve their communication about, understanding of, and equal treatment of various races. Thank you for writing this.
