Georgia on my mind

For America’s educators, this is a great day: You’re going to have one of your own in the White House, and Jill is going to make a great First Lady.

Please

Educators: this is our moment. We’re going to make sure that every child, every school, and every educator has what they need to thrive regardless of where they live or where they come from.

"White Americans are not afraid of the cops. White Americans are never afraid of the cops. Even when they are committing insurrection." --Just a few words from @JoyAnnReid moments ago on MSNBC, in one of the most powerful statements I've ever heard on television.

While today’s terrible display of terror and meanness shakes us, let’s remember: Jon Ossoff, Jewish son of an immigrant & Reverend Raphael Warnock, first Black Senator from Georgia, will join a Catholic POTUS & the first woman, Black + Indian VP in our nation’s capital. God bless America.

Words do not do this justice, so just watch it. Thank you @Arnold

The coronavirus is extremely unpredictable. We have a new "midwest variant" of the virus, and we are concerned that it could become the dominant strain in Ohio - this variant is much more contagious.
