BREAKING: Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson was just confirmed to the Supreme Court.
First Black woman on the Supreme Court.
First public defender, too. Her experience fighting for the marginalized is precisely why she’s perfect for the job.
What a historic moment.
So great to chat with @drmollyness about @Alwaysdream96 on her #endbookdeserts podcast. Check it out!

Last summer, I covered a story about Homies Empowerment and how they are helping their community who have been impacted by COVID-19. I am beyond thrilled to see this happen for them. Way to go, Steph!

.@ReadingPartners, a volunteer #tutoring program, has demonstrated that it's possible to train many types of people (students, workers, retirees) inexpensively and effectively. mdrc.org/opL #COVID19
A Marshall Plan for Post-COVID-19 Recovery from @RobertSlavin:
Schools should hire, train, and deploy large numbers of recent (and not so recent) college graduates as tutors, and in other essential roles in schools.

This is so important. I think the baby boomer generation could benefit from this challenge, too.

Yep
the fact that #SanFran is trending on here means that no one in san francisco is actually tweeting about san francisco. #nooneherecallsitSanFran
This. This is a problem and part of the reason there is inequity in our public schools. Let’s level the playing field and make sure all students have access to the same quality education and resources.
School districts that predominantly serve students of color received $23 billion less in funding than mostly white school districts in the U.S. in 2016, despite serving the same number of students, a new report found nyti.ms/2Tn43dj
I’m glad that teens in Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties can turn to organizations like @acsteens for help. #acsisthere
In the past decade, anxiety disorders in teen girls have risen steadily. To help anxious teens learn to cope, “brave is a positive word,” an expert says. "Anxiety is part of life ... It’s our job to develop the resources we need to march forward anyway.”

I know from experience: sometimes two year olds cannot he tamed. 🤦🏻♀️ Kudos to @GavinNewsom for handling the situation with humor and grace!

I’m so impressed with the fantastic @unchartedideas festival that @redpencilpr co-curated! I especially loved seeing her and Miriam Warren, both @rpbayarea… instagram.com/p/BokySv_ghs6x…
. @LQ Yeah, what he said. I’ll add that the shower in our room doesn’t fully turn off. We came in to running water which I listened to all night while making sure the baby didn’t fall off the bed (because of the crib debacle cited below). #tired #wastingwater
@LQ it’s really great to stay at your hotel with a baby, be promised a crib in advance, then have none available. Staying up all night to make sure he doesn’t roll of the bed is great.
After all the time I’ve spent at Kaiser Santa Clara, I feel like I could work here. 2 different nurses asked if I was part of the medical community because I can so accurately recite my son’s history using the right terminology
