Then Cookie Monster—too messy, too much.

When they came for you, the street was empty.

Thanks @jessjtang.bsky.social for having me on the @aftmass.bsky.social press conference with @whipkclark.bsky.social to discuss Trump's Dept. of Ed executive order & how it will negatively impact students in MA. As I said, abandoning the federal role in education is abandoning our kids' futures.
