On my mind. A #thread about public schools on a theme: we told schools to be everything and do everything and solve everything (but, big secret: we never actually wanted them to), and now that this house of cards is crumbling and shame on us. #mapoli #melrosePS

My latest piece for @USNewsEducation. Big TY to my sources: @SLSVCoalition, @fairerelections and @JenMcAndrew at @TischCollege. Such great work being done to reduce barriers for student voters. usnews.com/education/best…

My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.

The best President in my lifetime - not just because of what he has accomplished, but because he cares more about the country than his career. He promised to be a bridge and he has been - first to the first Black president and now hopefully the first woman.

I’m running for Lt. Governor because the Republican plan isn’t this year’s 12 week abortion ban; it’s next year’s total abortion ban. I'm North Carolina Senator Rachel Hunt. Let me explain... #ncpol
