One of my goals for the new year is to get back to writing. Sharing about my work, my thinking - for my own reflection & to share with others whose goals are to make change. But this week inspiration struck, so we dove back in during 2025. Read my current thinking & district call to action below 👇

Neil Young opens his Farm Aid set with: "Don't need no fascist rules Don't want no fascist schools Don't want soldiers walking our streets There's Big Crime in DC in the White House" Keep on rocking in the free world 🎶

It’s all for show and nothing more. Definitely not making things better or safer.

Maybe ICE will finally be able to afford badges and uniforms.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Adding this here as a reminder when eventually “conservatives” start complaining about the budget and deficits when democrats are in charge again

“What makes you so much worthier of your peace… of protecting your children… of your citizenship… of safety?” This is it. This is precisely it.

Curious if other people that wear glasses just hope the hairstylist cuts it right and isn’t making eye contact when your glasses sit there on the counter. They’re probably thinking this awkward dude who just stares off was quite surprised at the end that his hair looked different than the start

Our amazing Saint Paul Urban Teacher Residency program felt this cut early on. Financial barriers are real and necessary to address if we want to recruit and support teachers that share the loved experiences of our students

Keep it up and get more folks on board! More compost bins coming to Highland soon. www.spps.org/news-details...

If we can’t expect them to even pronounce AI correctly, why the hell should we trust their judgment on school choice or literally anything.

Trump's tariffs are the Ivermectin of economic strategy #EconSky

It was inspiring to be out in force with others today to stand up for our democracy, our future, and all those that are and will continue to be harmed by the current administration. #handsoff

This is going to get worse, not better. Never underestimate the American public’s thirst for performative cruelty towards The Other: defendants, foreigners, anyone they’ve been conditioned to see as less than human. We’re the country that made lynchings into picnics.

WTF. How is this legal?

When there is already a teacher shortage, the president is cutting programs aimed at producing more teachers.

Here is something you can do right now

Spoke at tonight’s school board meeting, advocating the district reaffirm its commitment to our immigrant community - to develop policies to protect students and empower the community members already doing the work. The work is urgent and needed now! @spfelocal28.bsky.social

H.R. 9494, the attack on non-profits bill, has passed the house. But it went from being supported by 52 Dems to just 15. Time to get on your Senator's case and halt the bill there.
