Watching @Tim_Walz on @MSNBC tonight remind us he’s a classroom teacher, and some of us who had him as our 8th grade geography teacher, swiftly reflect on his teaching us so much more about being good humans. Tonight, as he continues to care for his community #thankyouteachers
Turns out calling @hulu, and speaking to a rep for 50 minutes *can't* actually result in a ~$39 proration/credit after they misled me about their Live TV services. In case anyone wanted to accuse them of being a "for the customer" company—think twice. #customerservicefail

The pandemic hit in 2020. We should not use 2019 income to determine relief eligibility.

Think GameStop is wild? Wait 'til you see what the financial industry did to retirement accounts for teachers, nurses, police, firefighters and factory workers in 2008.
Their punishment? 0 jail time, big bailout, and a huge new revenue stream: cheap houses to buy and rent out.

US Senate deeply undemocratic:
-Split 50-50 but Dems represent 41 million more people
-15 states with 38 million ppl elect 30 GOP senators
-California with 40 million ppl elects 2 Dems
-By 2040, 30% of US will elect 70 senators. 70% of US will elect 30 motherjones.com/politics/202…

Let me be very clear: Nobody should be taking a vacation abroad right now. If you’ve got one planned, cancel it - and don’t book a trip for spring break. We need to hang on and hold tight for the next few months, and get through to the spring in the best shape possible.

One of the good things in the past four years was so many people became more familiar with their government. Folks learned who cabinet secretaries were and even asst secretaries
They learned how things work
I hope that doesn't change
It's the only way to hold power accountable

Thinking this morning of all my friends who are organizers, journalists, labor leaders, and advocates.
This has been a hard four years and we would not be where we are without you. Thank you for your tireless work.
I hope today you find a moment of peace.

Thank you! I would be nowhere without the women whose footsteps I dance in. While reciting my poem, I wore a ring with a caged bird—a gift from @Oprah for the occasion , to symbolize Maya Angelou, a previous inaugural poet. Here’s to the women who have climbed my hills before.
I have never been prouder to see another young woman rise! Brava Brava, @TheAmandaGorman! Maya Angelou is cheering—and so am I.
