Just started Death By Lightening and it is SO. GOOD.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

This bill is such trash. -violation of the establishment clause, obvi -will do NOTHING to enhance student learning. Nothing. What do they think taping documents on a wall does? LOL OH Senate, I beg you to *actually* help OH's public schools. Fully funding them would be a great start, you buffoons

From someone who used to vote one way and now votes another: people are gonna need a soft place to land when they change their minds. You might be able to be that person for your friend or family member. Don’t shy away from the conversation, and just keep asking questions til they get there.

Acton: I’m running against a guy, Vivek Ramaswamy, who has said that people are struggling in Ohio because they’re lazy, they’re mediocre, they’re not working hard enough. And I can absolutely tell you that is not the Ohioans I know or see. I think he’s completely out of touch.

I have voted for the deal that was on the Senate floor and which is probably caving to fascism Forgive me the flight delays were so annoying and so old

A List of Things Said to Have Been Ruined by Women 🧵

Real classy move while the announcers for the Ohio D3 State Championship were on a hot mic. Perhaps the OHSAA could vet these guys a little bit? Maybe NOT say you want to "kill yourself?" (Also, our girls won 1-0. Not sure what this idiot was expecting to see-it's a State Championship, you buffoon)

In Proud Mom News ™️ my son and his team are playing for the Boys OH D4 State Championship at Historic Crew Stadium tomorrow at 4pm. LET’S GOOOOOOOO 🚀❤️⚽️

Had the privilege of traveling to Vietnam with students in summer 2024 and it was not at all what I expected (in a good way). Will share this article with my students later in the year. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/w...

This week I had a parent-teacher conference.... ...with a former student. 😆 Officially in my Teaching 2.0 Era

Maybe dumping poop on voters from an airplane is not a surefire electoral strategy

I do think yesterday’s results reinforced the dynamic that while much of the American leadership class is chickenshit, most of the electorate is not

Salads always taste better when someone else makes them for you I will not be taking questions at this time

In teacher preparation courses, we ask beginning teachers to create lesson plans. Of course, this level of lesson planning depth is not done in the classroom, but it is to learn what makes a good lesson plan. So, I asked AI to do it and described two different contexts. The results were concerning.🧵

I just want to give every Blue Jays fan a big hug right now (Sincerely, a Cleveland Guardians fan who was at Game 7 of the WS in 2016)

Let’s go Blue Jays

If you are able to, please contribute to your local food bank this week

If you make 130% of the federal poverty level, you qualify for SNAP. A family of four, making $40,560, qualifies for SNAP benefits meaning thousands of Missouri teachers qualify. I’m tired of the bullshit. Most of the people who receive snap benefits work.

It's not lost on me that the part of the White House we are destroying is the part that has to do with women's history in the White House.

Every word of this.

I'm glad some more are joining me over here. It was lonely for a while.

The Treasury Department instructed employees not to share to share photos of the demolition of parts of the White House’s East Wing

I don't think I've ever seen more people in one place quoting American founding documents and ideals than I did on Saturday Mike Johnson is willingly digging in on the wrong side of history 🤡

literally: no one is saying this

"my father would drink, he would womanize...he would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark"

Huge turnout for #nokings in Bay Village, OH. 🇺🇸❤️

History teacher here who can confirm that a) history doesn't look kindly on those who capitulate and enable (*gestures wildly at entire Republican Party*) and b) when this is over, everyone will say why yes, of course they were against it the whole time

Police escalated the situation here in Broadview incredibly quickly. Saw multiple brutal arrests. ISP jabbing protesters with their batons like battering rams. Here ISP lifts @katmabu.bsky.social by her feet to flip her over a concrete barrier.

For those of you keeping score, 18-22 year-old students calling for an end to slaughter in Gaza are so racist they need to be expelled or deported, but 24-35 year-olds celebrating Hitler, rape, and, um, racism are just kids being kids so chill. Also, racism is over so no need for Voting Right Act.

Shout-out to my grandfather and my great-uncle Jimmy who were antifascists that served in uniform in North Africa/Italy and the invasion of Normandy during WWII

Look what we have here then.

Repertorio, now a junior (who transferred after SB1 passed to another school out of OH) said, "I’m not going to be able to learn the things I want to learn when I’m paying for my degree. But also, why would I contribute to an economy in a state that doesn’t care about me? Why am I here?”

College Republicans and Democrats in Ohio have joined forces in a rare moment of unity after the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Leaders say that unity is the start of moving the country forward. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/09/16/c...

Today we honor the Black children killed in the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing a cruel act of racist terror. Their loss fuels our fight for justice and peace. Say their names: Addie Mae, Denise, Carole, Cynthia, Virgil Ware, and Johnny. We must never forget. #BlackHistory #CivilRights

For everyone saying political violence has no place in this country… Remember two Democratic legislators were shot in Minnesota just this year. And America shrugged and moved on.

New post! Too often students assume enslaved Africans revolted on Saint-Domingue because they were inspired by the Enlightenment or the other Atlantic Revolutions. They didn't. 🗺️🗃️ www.liberatingnarratives.com/enlightenmen...

VALENCIA! Congratulations to such a deserving educator and welcome to the Gilder Lehrman National History Teacher of the Year #NHTOY club. So inspired by all the great work you do! Proud to know you! Your students and community are so lucky. @gliamericanhistory.bsky.social @vannabbott.bsky.social

SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in a college applicant's file is blatantly unconstitutional ALSO SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in targeting whom to detain and deport is cool cool cool

And I would never want to get between Ted and a trip to Cancun when there’s an emergency in Texas

“AI has softened the consequences of procrastination and led many students to avoid doing any work at all. As a consequence, these programs have destroyed much of what tied us together as students.“ The increasing disconnection between students is indeed jarring. They barely talk to each other!

Most of my family lives in Florida. When they ask whether I'd ever move back, I often say its not safe for kids (citing shool shootings and LGBTQ policies). Can add one more bullet point to the list. flvoicenews.com/florida-gene...

The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.

Things I think about as a historian: It is hella weird to name a college mascot after the losing side of the Civil War
