SLPS regained local control (elected board) in 2019 after 12 years under state control (appointed board). Now, 3/7 of the board will be mayoral appointments. Mayor Jones is accepting applications: stlouis-mo.gov/government/boa…

We are extremely disappointed in Representative @IanMack03007724's response to @SLPS_INFO parents' letters asking him to oppose HB1552. Not only is Rep. Mackey holding firm in his support of HB1552, but his response is misleading on key points, which we address below. 🧵(1/)

Happy birthday, @CoraFaith4MO! It is such a pleasure working with you. And I second what Jay said: Please don't work too hard today!

A bit more about markets versus the real economy. I'm a bit disappointed that so many people — including financial reporters! — still assume that the stock market is telling us something about real economic prospects 1/ nytimes.com/2020/04/30/opi…

The city’s Continuum of Care, the professionals that serve the unhoused community in St. Louis, have responded to @LydaKrewson’s plan to clear the tent encampments on Market Street. They are not happy.

When a city like St. Louis chronically fails to address the concerns and needs of its homeless residents and then during a pandemic, threatens to displace said people with <48 hours, we can't look away and we can't lose sight of the bigger picture.

@laurie_punch @CDCgov Have you heard if indeed the mobile testing van will be downtown tomorrow & Fri to test our unhoused friends (as Conway said)? Wonder how our phoneless, unhoused friends would get results.

@MollyMetzger Two important points: 1. the City has continuously mislead us on the # of available beds. 2. The encampments are much safer than Buder Community Center where many will be sent. See CDC recommendations for tent encampments. 😡

The main takeaway is: “Call your servicer!” By taking action early you can focus on keeping healthy and taking care of your family right now. #Mortgage #JustEconomy ncrc.org/what-is-mortga…

I gave tours today of an overflow morgue with a capacity for up to 1,300 lives lost from #Covid_19. Tours today showed 2 things: We are ready and this is real. Please practice social distancing. Please stop following narrative of our president. Please take care of those you love.

@NateMJensen Ditto in our household!

My daughter gets a chocolate when she “poops on the potty.” She is up to 8 times a day now. Basically anytime she feels like a chocolate. She understands incentives. And has developed a new skill.

I’m on day 19 of the coronavirus and finally well enough to get a little bored, so thought would share a few tips about having the virus if you live alone, in case it’s helpful to anyone. 1/

@NateMJensen Today’s plan with my two year old: building a cardboard fort

Homeschool lesson planning for tomorrow. Looking for something fun on a Friday. Last week we did a double PE. Help me Twitter. Help me.

.@alexgarzaMD, how does @STLCityGov's use of police to threaten & harass the people #STLCity has failed fall into the STL Pandemic Task Force's plans? cc: @STLCityGov @slmpd @LydaKrewson @CityofSTLDOH twitter.com/ArchCityDefens…
