Trump blocking traffic in Lancaster on a Sunday morning preventing people from getting to church is an interesting political choice. Just ended up directing traffic for 45 minutes outside my house.

The #PABudget is due on June 30th. We have an obligation to pass a moral budget that reflects the just economic power and sustainability we deserve. That's why we urged @PaSenate last week in Harrisburg to fund education, #WholeHomesRepair, #RaiseTheWage, and end preemption!

People mix them up all the time. That happens with twins, particularly when their first names are separated by just one letter.

This culture war on teachers & schools is insane. Teachers want to teach. They don’t go into the job for $. They want to help kids learn. Education is the best long term investment a society can make. Instead of investing, useless politicians create fake outrage for votes

Our schools are for education – NOT indoctrination. Our Parental Bill of Rights will ensure parents have access to curriculum, school libraries, and what their children are being taught. We must remove woke agendas from the classroom and get kids back to the basics of learning.

The 3:53.63 that the 4x400 ran was US#5 for the entire indoor season and US#1 for public schools. @LancasterSports @pal_lancaster @pntrack @CentralPARunner @PennTrackXC @FOX43Sports @717_sports

this is “the dumbest generation” guy who helped perpetuate the harmful digital natives myth in popular discourse e.g. PBS Frontline. There’s a strong connection between technophobic moral panic ideology and the anti-DEI anti-PC crowd… wanting to go back to “the good old days”…

Made it through one single session of a grad class with this guy. He said Whitman was straight. The class ran with 2 students.

Now double bonus points if some company made an ad mocking the crypto ads.

Glad to see Dems pushing back on red state culture warring. But the real red/blue divide is increasingly over the continued existence of public education. Would be helpful to hear Dems step up and make the case...

Replying to @GregTSargent @MalloryMcMorrow
Dems in red states are pushing some interesting proposals to fight back against right wing culture warring. One bill in Missouri, for example, would expressly allow teaching LBGTQ history to promote tolerance. Other examples below. We need more of this: washingtonpost.com/opinions/…

The Supreme Court is apparently interested in a case on whether charter schools are "state actors" — you might say, whether they're "public" — and is asking the US government to provide its view on the question. This could be a very big deal!
