Devastating— “I’m afraid for my parents to leave the house. They treat us like dogs because of the color of our skin. I shouldn’t be scared, I should be focusing on school.”

Elly just stole 2nd. Then 3rd. Then with the catcher and pitcher napping after the steal of 3rd-took off and stole home!! The dude is UNREAL. Hard fought battle between top 2 teams in the NL central-and he does THAT with 2 outs. Reds up 7-5 bottom of 7th. @Reds

If you think your best days are behind you, stop & ask why. What made those days great? What is stopping you from doing or having the magic of those “best days”? You’ll find that the answer lies within you, You can still make magic. The best is yet to come!#sundayeveningreminder

I’m the lone gay member of the Michigan Senate, where our #LGBTQ community has been under attack. Now our staunch allies are experiencing the collateral damage.
@MalloryMcMorrow faced some disgusting hits yesterday — and still came out roaring today in our defense. Thank you.
"I know that hate will only win if people like me stand by and let it happen."
Please watch this incredible speech from Michigan State Senator @MalloryMcMorrow, who is not standing by.

61 years ago today, 4 federal marshals escorted 6-year-old #RubyBridges to her 1st day of school (1st grade), as the 1st Black student to attend previously all-white William Frantz Elementary School in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Educators, are you wondering how to respond to the challenge facing our nation and our classrooms? Here’s one way.
We've built a safer, easier way for high school educators to talk about current events in the classroom. Everything teachers need – background info, multimedia content, and prepared lessons – in one place.

During a regular year, our teachers go above and beyond. Over the past 15 months, they have been nothing short of heroic. To everyone who makes our schools work for our kids, thank you.

Exactly. There was a kind of selection bias to the live coverage: we had live shots up of the least violent places (for good reason) but it’s now become so much clearer it was an *extremely* dangerous and volatile situation.

With COVID cases surging worse than ever, getting vaccinated is one of the most important things we can do. But until the vaccine is widely available, socially distancing and wearing masks will actually save even more lives, and alleviate the pressure on healthcare workers.

Seems more than odd that there was even a question about certifying the election in Michigan, a state Biden won by 154,000 votes. In 2016, Trump won Michigan by 11,000 and there were no questions.
Time to stop the madness!

This will move you to tears -- and to action to support President Elect Biden and to be involved in the GA runoff.

I hope every little girl watching tonight sees that this is a country of possibilities.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again — Michigan is an extraordinary place to live because of the people who call it home. There are millions of Michiganders doing their part to slow the spread of #COVID19 every single day. We are going to get through this together.

Let’s be clear about something. Cammo-clad paramilitary fetishists festooned in tactical gear and carrying assault rifles storming our state capitols while “protesting” is obscene. It is an assault on the sanctity of representative democracy and our American system.

But the #COVID19 pandemic is an unprecedented threat to our public health, and I’m willing to do whatever it takes to keep you and your family safe.
Deep breath. We’re going to get through this together. Read more: michigan.gov/whitmer/0,9309,…
