@khart@erica_pandey@EdLaborCmte@BobbyScott@TonyThurmond .@TonyThurmond: "We know that for schools to get open safely and stay open safely, we have to have access to COVID testing. We have to have access to personal protective equipment. We still need people to be wearing masks, social distancing."
.@JenniferNuzzo: "While vaccines are incredibly important...the reality is the vast majority of us are still not protected from this virus by having been vaccinated. That is all the more reason why all of the measures that we have been using for the last year remain essential."
@JenniferNuzzo On vaccine passports: "I think passports are kind of a shortcut that take our eyes off the ball of needing to make sure that all countries have access. And we won't be in a good situation if we just exacerbate the disparities that already exist."
@TheKendallBaker@NialaBoodhoo@JalenRose@Chargers@J_ManPrime21 .@JalenRose: “[Muhammed Ali] would have been the first billion dollar athlete. So with money comes power. It gives you an opportunity for ownership, it gives you a chance to control your narrative. That’s what players today have, along with social media.”
@TheKendallBaker@NialaBoodhoo@JalenRose@Chargers@J_ManPrime21 .@JalenRose on investing in young people: “I feel like the 8 most important years of a young person’s life are the 4 that they’re in high school or the 4 that they could be in college. You ask any adult where their goals or dreams went awry, it’s during that 8-year period.”
We think of sports as the great equalizer. But from youth sports to the professional world, glaring inequities, often along racial lines, mirror our society. axios.com/hard-truths-de…
In theory, sports are an escape. In reality, they are a mirror — often perpetuating the most unjust aspects of society.
Throughout history, white American athletes have been afforded the opportunity to improve unimpeded while minorities have been left to scratch and claw for every inch. axios.com/hard-truths-de…
Impeachment managers will wrap up their case against Trump by driving home the evidence they believe shows he committed the impeachable offense of “incitement of insurrection.”
House managers played clips from the perspective of “Stop the Steal” rally-goers and rioters — as well as online chatter from extremists — describing their sincere belief that Trump wanted them to invade the Capitol. axios.com/impeachment-tr…
Jamie Raskin played clips of Trump endorsing and defending violence by his supporters, including those who:
• Marched in the 2017 white nationalist rally in Charlottesville
• Stormed Michigan's Capitol in April 2020 to protest coronavirus restrictions axios.com/impeachment-tr…
House impeachment managers will begin presenting their prosecution today, laying out their evidence—including previously unseen Capitol security footage from the Jan. 6 insurrection.
Rep. Raskin opened by stating that the evidence his team presents will demonstrate Trump was "no innocent bystander" and that he "assembled, inflamed and incited his followers" on his way to the "greatest betrayal of the presidential oath" in US history. axios.com/trump-impeachm…
Raskin urged parents and teachers to exercise caution in allowing young people to watch video clips included in the House managers’ presentation, warning they will show “shocking violence, bloodshed and pain in the nation’s Capitol.” axios.com/trump-impeachm…
