World Wars. Class Wars. Nuclear Wars. Race Wars. When will we learn? #StopWars

War

There’s schools in New Mexico open 4 days a week bc they can’t afford Friday. Schools in Baltimore close when it’s too hot bc they cant afford AC. In whole counties in South Dakota people die a decade before everyone else. But there’s always money for bombs. Alway money for bombs

The House budget would rip away health care, food, & child care from millions — just to shower trillions on billionaires. @repzoelofgren, moms and families are watching. VOTE NO on the reconciliation bill. #FamiliesOverBillionaires #MomsForMedicaid

Donald Trump is the most unpopular 100-day-mark president in modern American history.

Psst…those 1950s manufacturing jobs Trump loves so much? They were good jobs because they were UNION jobs. Oh...and taxes on corporations and the rich were much higher. Trump’s agenda won’t bring back the “Golden Age.” It’ll make the rich richer at everyone else's expense.

personally would like to see every store show what part of the price increase is due to tariffs bc if these tariffs ever come down, i need to see that price go right back down

I want politics to be about a better everyday life. Here's what that can look like:

Learnt today that you can type any nonsense into Google followed by "meaning", and AI will assume you're searching a well-known human phrase and frantically come up with what it thinks it could mean.

If Democrats want to regain trust, it starts with consistency. Show up year-round, not just in election season. Knock doors. Fight for real wages. Pass policy that changes lives, then talk about it like it matters. People respect action, not slogans.

Amazing. In *two* minutes, Pete Buttigieg got Andrew Shulz to see why government research is necessary. That is why these conversations matter. A lot of the hosts & audience would never hear a message like this one. But when they do, it makes sense.

Don't argue with RFK Jr's dehumanization of autistic people by saying, "Well I'm autistic/my son is autistic and I/he can do those things!" You're feeding into eugenics when you do that. Discard RFK Jr's argument wholesale: we don't measure human value that way.

Wow. The NYT did an analysis of the press room and exposes how Karoline Leavitt relies on planted stooges in the room to throw propaganda soft balls she uses to lie to the public. This is how authoritarian states are run.

right now, if I import the parts to make a computer, I pay a massive tariff, but if I import the fully assembled computer, I get no tariff. truly a genius plan to reshore manufacturing

a recession is *the point.* destroying healthcare and letting viruses proliferate is the point. gutting education to easily control a impoverished, dumb and sick population that relies on ai and highly censored news sources is the point. jailing/killing opposition is the point.

the best thing a therapist ever told me is “you’re not lazy, you only have a certain amount of energy and right now you’re using it all to survive” and i know someone else needs to hear that too

The reasons why merit pay doesn’t work: 1. There’s an incentive to cheat on the test. 2. Disincentive to work in low income, struggling schools. 3. Arguments over class lists and roster assignments. 4. Fosters unhealthy competition instead of collaboration between colleagues

"I have to feel uncomfortable doing it, to get comfortable doing it" What a cool mindset from a student who is absolutely thriving in one of our most challenging units 😎 (also reason #1930982098 why I love systems of reflection that help me see how students see themselves!)

The American dream starts with a good education. Every student in the country will be worse off as a result of this reckless decision, and so will the future of our country.

Title 1 schools? That’s the Department of Education. Pell grants? That’s the Department of Education. IEPs? That’s the Department of Education. We need to improve education system, we do not need to eliminate the Department of Education.
