3. -LGBTQIA+ & BIPOQ community members are less safe/ further marginalized -denying students access to student loans because their states provide in-state tuition to undocumented people And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

1. I’m wondering how teacher activists can create awareness of Project 2025’s most direct impacts on education. Thinking of a “BLOCK, BUILD, BE” framework of activism. We should all be taking to friends, neighbors, families about a reality in which…

I don’t like this club. I’ve recently started using a poppy tincture in my green tea in addition to lavender oil in bedroom, nighttime gratitude ritual, nightly walks, chamomile tea, calendaring joy w/ intention,etc. My brain & nervous system are exhausting. Wishing for peace & grounding for us all.

I’m in! Fourth of July is my annual day to give to local and national abortion funds (gotta love “freedom”). Thank you for sharing and I feel privileged to be able to donate each month!

"The question is, will we care and mourn haplessly, in isolation, as people’s lives, lands, and freedoms are lost, or will we build strong networks of community members who can take bold actions in defense of one another when people are under threat?"

AI “hallucinates”. Edtech companies “collapse”. Humanizing capitalist projects rather than building teacher capacity & providing tangible resources to children & families w/ district money is inexcusable. No accountability for edtech & district leaders but teachers are a perpetual punching bag.

Well I’m sure NO ONE is predicting a harmonious combo of educators practicing malicious compliance and students doing what they’re best at - willful noncompliance & cool handed disinterest.

My colleague Sara Estep updated her analysis of how long it would take to drive one way to the nearest abortion clinic that provides abortions at at least 6 weeks of pregnancy.

Before Dobbs, the avg driving time was 33 minutes. It’s now 2 hours 12 minutes.

"U.S. police departments have gotten smaller—and the violent crime rate is still plummeting. So what is going on?" What's ALWAYS gone on. Cops do not stop crime. They never have. Real "tough on crime" measures are well-funded schools, free daycare, and mental health services. Always have been.

It's incredible how the human brain evolved to work in embedded, embodied, extended, & social contexts; thinking with tools, places, and people. Academic testing recruits basically none of that, telling us that the measure of intelligence/proficiency is short & long-term memory!

I would not have imagined a world where “fighting antisemitism” became a rallying cry of white supremacist Republicans to silence pro-Palestinian protesters (including anti-Zionist Jews), and an alleged reason for authoritarian Democrats to call for a mask ban, but here we are.

It's a thing called having fun & humor & finding delight in bad things happening to bad people. Trump has wrought devasting harm on the world, the United States, & me, so since I have a sense of humor I employ that to jeer him, though ultimately I seek a world with no jails.

Reading this hurts. This applies to all education in the US… book banning, privatization, purposeful erasure of so much history, scapegoating educators, and to all the universities brutalizing their students, faculty, and lecturers while crying about “safety”.
