@SecDef Are you such an insecure male that you can’t handle a ship being named for a gay male war veteran? What on earth is wrong with you? How petty, inappropriate and morality wrong! I bet your parents are ashamed of you. I know I am.

@SpeakerJohnson You should be ashamed of yourself for sitting mutely by while President Trump flagrantly ignores the Constitution, flaunts ethical norms and lies. Shame on you. How dare you call yourself a Christian?

Understatement of the evening from Harris and so well said: “Donald Trump was fired by 81 million people and he’s having trouble processing it.”

Fun fact about @Pink who is performing at the DNC tonight. She gives away 100,000’s of banned books at her concerts. She gives away copies of books removed from schools in some areas of Florida like dictionary’s, The Diary of Anne Frank and more. RT if you love #bannedbooks. 📚

@RepPeteStauber Stop with the “defund the police” scare rhetoric! It was used by a small group for a short time, and has not been used for at least a few years. Feel free to make your case with facts, but outdated and inaccurate information is never helpful.

@whatMsKsaid @MPS_News I think these are just locations to hold the session, not focused on that school population - all are open to anyone.

@MPS_News why no high schools? this is exactly what happened w/ the CDD.

Spread this far and wide (and watch until the end, trust me)

@realDonaldTrump Please just go away. Far, far away. You are exhausting and depressing.

Tina Turner was raw. She was powerful. She was unstoppable. And she was unapologetically herself—speaking and singing her truth through joy and pain; triumph and tragedy. Today we join fans around the world in honoring the Queen of Rock and Roll, and a star whose light will never fade.

@andreagribble Loved your podcast with you reading part of the book! So happy for you!

@krell_m Congratulations Michelle! You are a dynamic and dedicated leader. Our MN elementary principals are lucky to have you at the helm.

I feel excited & incredibly honored to be selected as the next Executive Director of the Minnesota Elementary School Principals’ Association (MESPA)! My passion for leadership development, desire to support others & my unwavering commitment to public ed make this the perfect fit.

@DrTStaloch @LNHS_Panthers @MSHSL Nothing like girls volleyball! Wish I was there.

Best ticket in town tonight is the MN State Volleyball Tournament! Nothing better than watching student-athletes do what they love, with people they love, being supported by people they love! Go LN Panthers! @LNHS_Panthers @MSHSL

This is a hell of an ad. Vote blue to save the Republic.

Every. Fucking. Word. Of. This. 👇

@beth_hawkins Can you offer more details please? Which candidates have shown up, who’s hosted and what reasons (if any) have folks given to not show? Just want to learn more, thanks!

7/ Oh — and in case you were wondering, superintendent candidates watch this stuff. Right now leadership talent has options. They don't have to settle for reporting to a board that can't articulate a common vision.

1/ Not counting endorsement screenings and private events, I count four Minneapolis School Board candidate forums held/scheduled this year. Three of the DFL-endorsed candidates have declined to participate in three of the forums.

A clip from Don’t Look Up, and then a real TV interview that just happened

@andrewahagen Yes, sir! One of my many communications related mantras.
