Chicagoans are making, sharing, and printing designs for whistles that can warn people when ICE is in the area. The goal is to “prevent as many people from being kidnapped as possible.”

The orchid is preparing to make blooms. Growth, regeneration, beauty still lay ahead.

Teen parenting is initialing the athletics permission form in 13 places for the 11th straight season and knowing you’ll be sad when the 12th and last ends.

Sometimes grading means getting to hear great thinking from a usually quiet student. And that is a joy.

No such thing as a good billionaire. Let alone trillionaire.

A study of a large Florida school district found that the effects of immigration enforcement on students’ academic performance was concentrated in high-poverty schools. The test score declines also occurred for U.S. citizen students.

In the @scholarslab.bsky.social, @literaturegeek.bsky.social and I try to practice what we call "gossip for good," performative and outspoken gratitude and appreciation to people's faces and also behind their back. Hear someone praising the work of someone else? They should know about.

Would you still believe me if I told you that folks seriously argued that teachers were still needed because students didn't all have access to the same textbook editions due to the war's paper shortage?

Ha! Doing a bit of research on the French education system under Vichy. Would you believe me if I told you that at some point many people seriously believed that textbooks could replace teachers?

That’s why I say keep calling.

What the actual fuck, Chuck? Call @schumer.senate.gov NOW at (202) 224-6542 to let him know: We cannot afford another Schumer surrender. #HoldTheLine

🚨 We’re hearing that Senate Democrats are on the verge of caving to Trump in another “Schumer Surrender.” That means your Democratic senators need to hear from you right now. Call: indivisible.org/resource/cal... Email: act.indivisible.org/sign/funding...

I called them both! New Yorkers, so should you (To reach your state's senators, you can always go through the Capitol switchboard at 202-224-3121)

Good morning from Providence! Small pleasures fuel the fight.

Let's go! The City of Cleveland - home to a public power utility - is one of the first in the nation i've heard of so far banning shutoffs during this federal shutdown crisis. Public power can lead the nation in showing what democratic institutions can do to make our lives better.

The man who ended USAID and who collaborated with the man who left 42 M Americans hungry by cutting SNAP is the world’s first trillionaire.

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

Yall aren’t on IG, so here’s a GOTV I did with … @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social. No, seriously. Go to zohranfornyc.com/GOTV and let’s get it done.

My city on its best day of the year #nycmarathon (Sound on!)

Totally my favorite marathon sign/family support station

I am putting a thank you out there into the universe for all of the HS teachers, camp directors, employers, mentors, faith leaders, etc etc who are writing letters of recommendation for SUNY and CUNY and early app college-applying kids. So much work, such an important thing you do. 🌸💐💐💐💐🌸

Best day in the best city, period.

💯 Michele Rolph-Trouillot, *Silencing the Past*

Shout it from the rooftops.

New Yorkers, join us! #mayoralcontrol (and think about mayoral control when you #vote before this panel!)

Depending on which line you read, college is terrible because it changes what students think or college is terrible because it never changes what students think.

I like that they are projecting light in front as well

Israel killed at least 104 people in Gaza, including 46 children, in overnight strikes on the Palestinian territory. The attacks came after Israel claimed its soldiers came under attack by Hamas militants, though the group denied responsibility.

I ❤️ NYC.

NYC education people, are you talking about #mayoralcontrol with students, friends, neighbors? Good conversation starters via primary sources and diagrams of the history of who's governed schools in NYC over the last century at nyccivilrightshistory.org/topics/who-g...

Fie, fie on you, departments who ask for letters of recommendation at the APPLICATION stage.

Did not join that protest, but happy to be called a lowlife supporter.

DC friends!! Join us on this Sunday on the National Mall for a teach-in in defense of history and museums, ft. an all-star line-up! We’ll be there from sun-up to sun-down. More info here: linktr.ee/historyteachin

TL;DR: AI rush in higher ed = yet more evidence of worsening crisis in faculty governance. This is excellent, especially in recognizing that all of this rush to AI needs to be evaluated not only on AI’s merits/demerits, but on the question of who decided to rush in and how.

For some CEO/VC ish Ed Tech event at Columbia my clever and rightly skeptical colleagues made an exhibit of Dead Tech. Learning machines, laptop for every child, School of the Air, and Smartboard mania. Brilliant and necessary rebuttal.

WELL HOW ABOUT THAT "A millionaire levy in Massachusetts has generated $3 billion more in revenue than expected without forcing significant high-profile departures from the state." www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Gift link for @mattdelmont.bsky.social's review. "On one hand, the romantic narrative of the movement as the natural fulfillment of American ideals is outdated and underwhelming... On the other hand, he is unpersuaded by ironic and nihilistic accounts of African American life and history."

The East Wing of the White House is considered part of the White House complex, which is designated as a National Historic Landmark. Oh well!

Existential questions of the AWS cloud services era: Is there a university without Canvas?

To paraphrase @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social, I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win.

This is beatufiul.

The whole letter is great — clemency and an open campus are both much needed — but I'll admit my favorite part is this: "Are we cowardly Lions who cower in front of a false prophet or in the face of a blustering, empty wizard in Washington who is trying to destroy our autonomous universities?" 🦁
