Good Lord Mitch McConnell. I just can’t. Everything you’re saying right now is reason for you and your Republican colleagues to vote guilty.

Shame on the 43 senators who voted to acquit the man who sent a mob to kill or harm them and their colleagues and desecrated our Capitol. The lack of consequences is insane.

So many logical fallacies in this defense.

It’s #InaugurationDay and it has been kind of weird not seeing Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Carlson working the phones to bring us there. First inauguration without students there to see peaceful transfer of power (wouldn’t see it anyway)since Reagan 1981.

Interesting both sides of the impeachment proceedings are using Lincoln’s words. Perhaps if they looked toward the country he desperately attempted to save from secessionists they’d find they have more in common and remind themselves as to why they’re there in the first place.

How does the world see us today? Are we that shining example on a hill? These were questions that we considered today in class, using front pages from around the world as a small segment of reflection today.

Today was supposed to be Four Freedoms Day. It now is a day of shame and embarrassment for our country. Well said @CoryBooker

I’m breathing better today. My shoulders feel lighter. Things won’t be perfect bc Biden is President but gone is the constant negativity, lying, & name calling that prevented progress & degenerated the American brand. Today is a win for democracy & there’s work to do. Let’s go!

Okay it has been a while since I’ve been on Twitter, just saying if you’re one of my former students, go get your vote on. DROP YOUR BALLOT OFF at an early voting precinct if voting by mail - extra credit if you show me your “I Voted” sticker. 🙂 🗳 🇺🇸 lakecountyil.gov/4085/Where-Do-…

Congrats to Jenni on earning the 2020 NSC Sportsmanship Award. This tough cookie is a captain who always looks out for her girls & is the loudest supporter at every meet. She also ran a huge LPR today in an incredible capstone race. 🐝🔗🐝💪

Construction workers at the Chrysler Building in NYC, 1929. Just looking at this colorised footage with sound from 1929 is not for the faint of heart 👀 👀

When three of her friends were lynched in Memphis, journalist Ida B. Wells began an investigation into their killings and others. On October 5, 1892, she told a crowded hall in New York of the truth she'd discovered. #ThisDayInHistory pbs.org/wgbh/americane…

Good to know that as a family who collectively works 3 jobs we paid almost twice as much in taxes in 2016 as our President who is a billionaire. Way to go America; you’re doing great.

1/ In 2020, we learned that some people don't understand what democracy is; don't know that it takes work; don't know that it's fallible; don't accept that the USA can fall; don't know what they lose when democracy falls; & don't know how hard it will be to get it back.
