"The joke was distasteful and unfortunate...Now I have to sit in front of you...and explain someone else's behavior. It's not my responsibility." - @TeamUSA captain and Torrent forward Hilary Knight on the call and joke by President Donald Trump.

In the still of the night, after the thousands of daily visitors have gone home, Jim Maroon and his team of custodians care for the 9/11 Memorial in what they consider "more than a job." today.com/news/911-memor…

The future is right here in the Bay. Glad to join Mayor Marilyn Ezzy Ashcraft at the Anthro Energy opening celebration this week in Alameda. As a member of @HSBCDems, I'm a huge supporter of the innovation economy right here in my district and supporting local talent through education and workforce programs.

This is actually my worst nightmare

Here is my full statement from @FirstTake today on Jackie Robinson

@cindirparker I missed your retirement posts. Congratulations! Grateful you’re staying on here with fun posts!!

Time for this very grateful, retired PE teacher to change gears w/my Twitter acct! I can’t wait to continue highlighting all that’s GOOD in Sports- from Elem PE to college athletics (ECU💜💛) w/Green Bay thrown in! Family, friends & most esp BUC do not get a free pass either!❤️

This young man is the most impressive 11yo I’ve ever met.

Dylan Beard is not your typical Olympic hopeful. Beard is a hurdler who will compete for a spot on the U.S. Olympic team heading to #Paris2024. He also works a full-time job at the deli counter at a Walmart. He sat down with @craigmelvin to talk about his story.

@ymesrockspe @PackMensBball @PackWomensBball Congrats! I’m happy for our Wolfpack friends.

As someone who has taught reading intervention, I’m pretty quiet on the reading wars except to say that when you use the term “war” you will end up with casualties. You’ll dehumanize. You’ll create enemies in a way that prevents dialogue. Phonics matter. Blending matters. Stories matter. Prior knowledge matters. Helping kids fall in loving with reading matters. I want to see kids read. I’m not interested in warfare.

A wonderful morning where ALL @OakviewElem Owls were in the halls cheering on our @SpecialOlympics participants

@jhibbets @JenInnovate 😢😢😢
