I truly don't think enough can be said about the work teachers have done over the past several months. Some teaching online *and* in person. Making lesson plans for both. Some caring for their own children and relatives while they teach. They deserve both praise and better pay.

Remarkable piece by @JamesFallows: "What Wolff is describing is an OPEN SECRET..." theatlantic.com/politics/arc…
It's Been an Open Secret All Along

It's Been an Open Secret All Along

The scandal of Michael Wolff’s new book isn’t its salacious details—it’s that everyone in Washington has known its key themes, and refused to act.

Here's a start: universal background checks (Columbine); ban assault weapons (Newtown etc); fix NICS (Sutherland Springs); ban bump stocks (Las Vegas). I've got more. xitter.cf/cbsnews/status/9413891…

.@PressSec on preventing U.S. attacks: “If you could name a single thing that would have prevented both of these, I would like to hear it because I don't know what that would look like. But we’re looking every single day at how you can protect American lives.”

The protests have been hijacked by folks with an agenda. I tried to set the record straight this morning. I think this is worth your time.

It baffles me that our protest is still being misconstrued as disrespectful to flag and military personnel. nyti.ms/2xFAOr7

1964: '74% of US believed that “mass demonstrations by Negroes” would “hurt the Negro’s cause for racial equality."' thinkprogress.org/criticisms…

The long history of civil rights protests making white people uncomfortable

Criticisms of NFL protests today sound a lot like criticisms of civil rights protests in the 1960s.

Republicans in Congress hate Colin Kaepernick b/c they can’t understand someone who’s willing to lose his job over something he believes in
