This is way more disrespectful than taking a knee during the anthem. Waiting for that same kind of outrage.

No jump shots. No ferns. No memes. Not this time. I’m going to give it to you straight: If you need health insurance for 2019, the deadline to get covered is December 15. Go to HealthCare.gov today and pass this on — you just might save a life.

- Being happy
- Being sad
- Helping others
- Standing up
- Voting
- Playing
- Being silly
- Being serious
- Being scared

I’m doing an experiment for my freshmen classes on social media: would you like / retweet and comment where you are so we can see the reach and speed of social media. #retweet #socialmedia #edchat #satchat #sunchat #edtechchat

Young people have helped lead all our great movements. How inspiring to see it again in so many smart, fearless students standing up for their right to be safe; marching and organizing to remake the world as it should be. We've been waiting for you. And we've got your backs.

I'm so angry today all I could do was write this:
Congressional Pledge of Allegiance
I pledge allegiance to the NRA
Of the United States of America
And to campaign donations
For which we stand
In power
Under their thumb
In cowardice
With innocent blood on our hands

I’ve said this before, but one of the only reasons I’m a writer is because I had a teacher in 3rd grade who looked at my poem about clouds & said “you can be a writer when you grow up.” It stayed w/me forever. Teachers, don’t underestimate what your words can do for your students

I’m very proud of @MichaelVick. That’s exactly what he said he would do in 2009 and he kept his word. xitter.cf/snfonnbc/status/931623…
