Could Jalen Carter’s suit at the #NFLDraft2023 be a nod to Jalen Hurts’s winning outfit and attitude at the NFC Championship game?

After #SandyHook the police chief came to a staff meeting. Our best defense against a shooter? Arm preschoolers w/ blocks. Congress sanctions assault rifles and teachers are handed toys. Mass shootings are preventable. Support @sandyhook @Everytown @NewtownAction #GunControlNow

Not sure who needs to hear this but @IKEAUSA sells small space desks with cup holders. They also sell cup holders that can be bolted onto desks. IKEA is serious about hydration. #amwriting

In the past week alone, @WCKitchen has provided hot, culturally sensitive meals to folks in need in Haiti and New Orleans and to arrivals from Afghanistan. Their work is incredible. Is there anything they can’t do? #AfghanRefugees #NewOrleans #Haiti

I’m a teacher who has huddled with preschoolers in closets during school shooter drills. Reasonable gun reform is long past due. May Congress remember their fear of Jan. 6 and, unlike during the impeachment trial, take responsible action to protect our nation and its children.

If you’re happy and you know it, wag your tail. Major Biden was clearly not thrilled AT ALL to be reunited with his family at the White House. (Rumor has it Champ was happy to enjoy a soft bed by the fire.) May a good run and the hugs of loved ones bring us all such happiness.
