Haven’t posted here about Darwin. He is the most pure sweet soul & was diagnosed recently with cancer. He has a bad pleural effusion and doesn’t have much time. Darwin means so much to me & I wanted you all to know who he is and how much I love him.

A reality TV star talks about improving education by minimizing the role and professionalism of teachers and holding them accountable to a political process. Good luck with that - and there are plenty of better examples.

Donald Trump announces his 10-point plan to rebuild America's school system: Among his promises is teach patriotism, bring back 'school prayer, and fire teachers who disagree. This is how our freedom ends.



Truth.

Listen. Because believe me. Courage is what is required next. 🖖

The most physically and psychologically devastating disease I’ve ever seen that isn’t cancer because it doesn’t kill you. It just destroys your life.

Not having pads/tampons in a bathroom is like not having toilet paper. Menstrual stigma— the idea that periods are dirty, gross, or shameful— creates stress/suffering for millions of Americans. Erasing this stigma requires vocal support from men like @GovernorShapiro— thank you!

We’re putting pads and tampons in our schools so girls don’t have to miss class and they can focus on learning.

If you keep talking about the assassination attempt don’t you dare tell the kids who survive school shootings and their families to “just get over it” What happened today is unacceptable and what happens every day to kids who aren’t the president and don’t survive isn’t either.
