One day for one life…

This man MURDERED Breonna Taylor. In a righteous nation, that crime would cost him his freedom.

But this is Trump’s America. Bigotry is his administration’s north star. 

And so, this killer won’t face justice, nor will the Taylor family receive it.

I am disgusted.

This is a terrible terrible decision. It's going to haunt the #US for a generation especially in red rural states in things like Title I funding and student loans and civil rights enforcement. #Education #Teachers

I’m having a hard time with the news ever since our president bombed Iran. I am distracted from my work, crabby at the slightest trigger, and wake up at night anxious. Walks and not over doing it seem to help but I’m so tired of the media buzz. #taketime #itsthelittlethings

Trust me this is a “must watch”.
If you watch only one video today, let it be this one.

Watch NYU Stern School of Business Professor Scott Galloway’s outstanding commentary on what prosperity and wealth should mean in America.

His words could not be more on point and timely.

Please pass it on.

Change is an interesting energy. Some folks thrive on it while others push back. No rain for several weeks makes me crave change. #hope #change #everystepcounts

Yes, I'm pissed about the jumbo jet too. But this is actually the most important story today.

I keep writing to my republican congressman Pete Stauber. I continue to ask hard questions. His team replies include "woke", "misinformation", "out of control", and "Although we may disagree on this issue, I appreciate you letting me know your thoughts." #Hope #Resistance #DefendTheConstitution

Happy to see these results! We need to vote to keep funding teacher education programs and support public education. #teachminnesota #abetterfuture
Our graduation rates are higher than they’ve ever been.

It’s because we made big investments in things like free school meals, teacher training, and technical education.

We can’t let federal cuts roll back our progress.
