One of the greatest deceptions of our time is the false narrative that we should somehow be more concerned about how a poor person uses the welfare system than we are about the ultra wealthy swaying the highest positions or power in our country to their favor.

Officials now say the problem has been resolved. If you were turned away or didn’t want to vote provisionally earlier, please head back to your polling place, you are still eligible to cast your ballot. Every vote counts, and no one should miss their chance to be heard.

Voters in Fayette County, Pennsylvania, faced confusion this morning after the state accidentally sent 2024 voter data to local election officials instead of the 2025 file. The error caused electronic poll books to show outdated information, in some cases marking voters as having

Thoughts and prayers to Cosplay Cop Kristi who had to brave the dogs, farmer’s markets, capybaras, and marathon runners of Portland this week.

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education. America’s children deserve better than this.

Today, I signed a series of bills that close gaps in maternal and prenatal care, improve health outcomes and access to child care resources, and protect vulnerable women. Women in California deserve the services and resources they need to live full, self-determined lives.

This isn’t about politics; it’s about ownership of the scoreboard. When the scoreboard changes owners, the game changes. The sale no one voted on...and why you should care.🔥👇 www.jackhopkinsnow.com

We got tons of Fuji apples this year. I should have thinned them early on to get bigger ones but they were still delicious 😋 #gardenSky

My tulips are blooming ❤️

I chatted with Illia Ponomarenko, a Ukrainian war reporter, about why Zelenskyy doesn't wear a suit. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

These reflections, from T Ian Duncan, are a sure sign of a great week of teaching! #EduSky

Not true. I'll give you some examples of when styles crossed over from womenswear to menswear, and how men have worn straight-up womenswear or just feminine styles in cool ways. 🧵

Pro Tip for those of us using the 5 Calls App: Put your senator and reps in your phone contacts, with BOTH of their offices (DC & home). 5 calls only has their DC offices, and when that mailbox is full, I just go to my contacts and call their home/local office instead. Easy peasy lemon squeezy! <3

How much is Congress cutting from their $6.5 billion/year budget? Don’t you think congress can operate on say, maybe, $5 Billion? And each congressman has 18 staff, they could operate on say, 14? What about the White House?

All members of Congress swore allegiance to the Constitution. They didn't ask just Democrats to defend America against all enemies. The house is on fire, y'all. I'll do everything I can to extinguish that flame, but I am begging my Republican colleagues to remember their oath.

1972. The “I love you” at the end gets me every time…

These books are brilliant! Picked up all seven @mowillems.bsky.social books at #Aldi for 99p each today for my classroom. Absolute bargain! 💙📚 #BookSky #EduSky

I was thinking about citations and decided to build a SchoolAI Space to help with MLA and APA citations. It includes how to even cite AI use! Check it out here! www.thenerdyteacher.com/2025/02/cita... #SchoolAI #AIinEdu #EduSkyAI #EduSky

I have many regrets about Earth, but making humans in a wide range of colors, shapes, and temperaments is not one of them. Celebrate thy diversity. Love each other.

Miserable at home with the flu. Got to finally watch the Six Triple Eight. It was so good! Also finished Alice in Borderland which was wonderfully weird.

Tomorrow I plan to go to school and teach the way I taught today & the day before that & the day before that. Respecting the students in my room means knowing their names & how they choose to be addressed. Respecting my content means teaching the truth. Respecting my families means I don’t…

What shouldn't be missing from the headlines on the new NAEP scores: "The overwhelming majority (77%) of... the wealthiest kids — performed above the national average in reading..in the lowest SES category, though, the results are nearly flipped, with just 34%...above the national average."

Educators: We have to steel ourselves against the urge to consume everything, everywhere, all at once. The next four years are going to be long and hard; some of us will not make it. Protect your heart. Protect your peace. Protect the children.

This is why public schools are so important. While they are not perfect, they help us work towards equality in education.

Enjoying the History Channel this morning. Just watched a documentary on the Tuskegee Airmen. Up next the 761st Tank Battalion. The first Black tank unit that fought during WWII. Then spending time with my family. #MLKDay

Thinking of Gloria and everyone who fought so hard for this. ❤️ Photo by Scott Applewhite / AP

"California paid in a lot more [to the federal government] than it got back — $83 billion in total. So did Washington state and much of the Northeast. Most red states were in the reverse position, getting much more from DC than they paid in return."

She performed at the Newport Folk Music festival - her first time in front of a live audience in 60 years. She herself was in her 60s. Her guitar playing style was unique and distinctive. there isn't mUCH footage of her live but there is some. I love this one: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7b6s...
