Here is my homage to the professionals who spend their careers nurturing other people’s children as if they were our own. (With apologies to Elizabeth Barrett Browning…) #LoveTeaching #ValentinesDay bddy.me/2C0QZC8
Mm, @BruceRauner is now attacking the independence of the judiciary, a move straight from the Trump playbook. Watching him spiral would be amusing if his fecklessness didn't lead to deaths at Quincy, slow disaster response, kids being kicked off child care, etc. #ilgov #ILSOTS

I'm not afraid either. While I've had members of the Govs staff berate my support of SB1, I've never heard a peep from Speaker Madigan. nitter.cf/dowendo/status/8886132…
I am not afraid. I am disappointed by a state government that doesn't value educational excellence and equity! #SignSB1 @GovRauner #TWILL nitter.cf/illinoisworking/status…
