Act now to call on EPA to maintain and upgrade its digital archive, so important to researchers and the public...
The ASEH, @EnviroDGI, @EHAC_EDGI, and other organizations strongly urge the @EPA to keep its online archive alive and accessible now and for future generations. Read @SSElkind's letter: aseh.org/resources/Documents…

Thank you! I would be nowhere without the women whose footsteps I dance in. While reciting my poem, I wore a ring with a caged bird—a gift from @Oprah for the occasion , to symbolize Maya Angelou, a previous inaugural poet. Here’s to the women who have climbed my hills before.

I have never been prouder to see another young woman rise! Brava Brava, @TheAmandaGorman! Maya Angelou is cheering—and so am I.

I see a LOT of “sympathetic” coverage of (White!) seditionists claiming they were driven by mental illness and pandemic isolation. Stop right there! Millions of Americans have wellness issues and do NOT plot sedition. Do not weaponize mental illness to try and justify terrorism.
