For teachers heading to summer vacation, what’s something fun you will do?

As a secondary teacher, do you care more about kids learning your content or becoming better readers? And would you support working toward both these goals?

BREAKING -- TRUMP AND REPUBLICANS IN A PANIC Trump and Mike Johnson are so scared of losing Elise Stefanik's supposedly R+20 seat in the House that Trump has suddenly PULLED her nomination to be US ambassador to the UN Likely means the internal GOP polling was TERRIBLE

Dumb leading the dumb.

Thank you @drtharris.bsky.social and @ktkelly.bsky.social for making me smarter. #ccira was awesome.

#ccira2025 Listening to @drtharris.bsky.social What an amazing storyteller! She tells stories that teach and help us to think about, “What can I do next to be a better human and educator?”

Keep your eyes on Jack Schlossberg. He's without a doubt, the best Kennedy warrior to keep the heat on RFK, Jr., the biggest embarrassment to the family. He's just not going to let RFK, Jr. get away with anything.

If not for Migrant Farm workers, we would not have food on our tables. Fruits and vegetables are rotting on the vines because they are in fear deportation. And yes, this will affect you and your wallet! Prices will soar! #TrumpFlation

This is my plan for the new year🫶🏻

A worm in his brain. The bear in Central Park. Heroin helped him read better. Can you imagine the things RFK Jr has done that he hasn’t shared?

What an awesome thing to do!

To all teachers-wishing you a relaxing break. You’ve earned it.

Abercrombie meets vintage.

If you ask me, this would have been a much better choice for Time’s Person of the Year.

I heard RFK Jr. is floating the banning of the polio vaccine so seems like a good time to remind folks that RFK Jr. was vaccinated with this same vaccine & therefore is at no risk of harm himself Kinda like when he publicly was against the covid vaccine yet privately required his guests to have it🙃

It’s that simple.

Hey Teachers, do you know about this amazing librarian and her book? Also check out @velshibbc.bsky.social -so good!

My insurance company denied medication my Dr. prescribed for me. I was able to fill it and pay out of pocket at @mcuban.bsky.social's Cost Plus Drugs. It was super easy and super inexpensive. Thank you Mark for caring more about helping us than feeding your ego. 🙏🙇‍♂️

Hey MAGA, you want to really Make America Great Again? Deport Trump, the “efficiency” guys, both of them, and Marjorie Taylor Greene, keep the migrants! They pay way more in taxes. They’re the ones actually building something here and contributing to SS and economy. bsky.app/profile/4hum...

“.. The most popular of the items that he sells? Bumper stickers that say, in all-caps, ‘I Bought This Before We Knew Elon Was Crazy.’” @nytimes.com $TSLA www.nytimes.com/2024/12/11/s...

As of right now, Bluesky is only a little more than 100K users away from 25 MILLION!! The growth of this platform since Election Day has been absolutely INCREDIBLE!! 💙 bsky-users.theo.io

McCarthy is an atrocious, shameless, and spineless liar.

Donald Trump is one of the worst things to ever happen to America. ❤️♻️ if you agree!

Hot off the presses from the brilliant Mike Lukovich...

Remember it’s not normal for a FBI director - appointed by the president-elect himself to serve a 10 year term 7 years ago - to resign in this way, and it’s normal to nominate someone as unqualified as Patel to replace him. None of this is normal - and should not be normalized by the news media!

If we all find 100 posts to like every day, engagement and good will on @bsky.app grows exponentially. Is it worth a few minutes to make the platform stronger ?

My new favorite holiday card!

I think you are in the wrong platform. Rudeness resides onTwitter.

Hey Teachers, if you are tired of working harder than your students, add this title to your holiday wish list. It’s great! @stenhousepub.bsky.social

Markwayne Mullin on Hegseth’s drinking: TAPPER: Drinking at 10 in the morning, that’s a drinking problem. MULLIN: Yeah & there’s probably a lot of media that has a drinking problem too. TAPPER: A drunk reporter who is drinking at 10 AM…is not in charge of the 3 million person defense department.💥

“I won youth by 30%. All Republicans lose youth. I don’t know why. Maybe it’s changing. And last time, we were down 30% with youth. This time, we’re up 35% with youth." Trump on Meet the Press today just couldn't stop lying, as usual. He lost young voters by double digits.

We need to protect Dreamers aka DACA kids and adults.

Are you doing the thinking for your students? 💭 Math teacher @crystalfrommert.bsky.social realized she was. Here’s how she transformed the dynamic and empowered students to think for themselves:

Do you think Canada might start slapping tariffs on oil we import from them? Gas prices going up even though Exxon reports the US is producing more oil than ever before.

Sko Buffs!

Nichols: Senator Tuberville had a comment the other day about this.. unaware many of the weapons that are bought and sent to Ukraine are made in Alabama.

The Trump ordeal has made one thing clear. Too many of our checks and balances rely on norms, traditions and the honor code. It works when those elected into power are people of honor and integrity who respect our norms and traditions. Elect a lifelong criminal and it all goes sideways.

Great call on this article.

If you want a fence, you better get it now.

Cheering older readers on who recognize they’re confused is the first big step to repairing comprehension. We need to break the fake.
