The fact that we know what the verdict SHOULD be but remain unsure of what it WILL be speaks volumes about our nation. We have work to do.

my admittedly biased takes: @amandathegunn has already written some of the greatest poems of my lifetime, and is only getting started; a publisher had better get on that soon; now another coast will get to know her, and this coast will miss her terribly
The Stegner, y’all!!! I'm excited to join our slowly emerging cohort 🌈 @Austin_Araujo @JacksonHolbert @yodelnyc @J_Escoffery. I will stop shaking aaaany minute now.

Thank you to all who made this significant commitment to change happen. I still want to name words that need to be said: *racism* and *antiblackness* in @ASECSOffice must be explicitly addressed. Good to see structural change. 🙏🏽@TitaChico1 @devoneylooser @zugenia and others.

I have never been prouder to see another young woman rise! Brava Brava, @TheAmandaGorman! Maya Angelou is cheering—and so am I.

On a day for the history books, @TheAmandaGorman delivered a poem that more than met the moment. Young people like her are proof that "there is always light, if only we're brave enough to see it; if only we're brave enough to be it."

One of my very best friends in the world published this, and I'm so happy for her! It's beautiful, and you should read it too: This author explains what it's like to navigate largely white spaces, such as Harvard Business School, as a Black woman. huffpost.com/entry/black-wom…

Trade “because of the color of their skin” for “because of racism.” Precise language is better.
