I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio. Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3. Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

If they ban whistles switch to cowbells. It'll be fun for all the Gen Xers. Because we need more cowbell.

So many families in MN are opting to go online to stay safe.

I am not being snarky. I need my colleagues who wrote on covid school lockdowns to engage with this. To be as loud as they have been about prior "learning loss." Hell, you can cite Tom & Mark's AERJ paper so you feel better that there's some econ somewhere in your argument.

They are never, ever going to win in Minnesota.

Reporters, if you wrote about learning loss due to covid school closures, you can write about learning loss due to state terror.

in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today

Nekima Levy Armstrong and Chauntyll Allen, who were arrested and charged after a demonstration at a Minnesota church, have been released www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win.

I think this person is right.

I went to Minneapolis last week. What I saw was horrifying and inspiring in equal measure. Gift link to my latest column: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/19/o...

Dr. Gladys West, the pioneering mathematician whose work laid the foundation for modern GPS technology, has died. She was 95.

Respectfully, I am going to whisper to some of our white comrades a truth that should be more widely known: You definitely have some ancestors to be proud of, ancestors who refused white supremacy, and poured out their lives in many of these struggles over time. Time to claim your true history.

A brief, worthwhile read this MLK weekend: “The function of education, therefore, is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. But education which stops with efficiency may prove the greatest menace to society.“ kinginstitute.stanford.edu/king-papers/...

I really hope the back to school crowd from COVID is calling legislators and fighting for an end to ICE militarization. We are scrambling to provide an online option because of fear in Minnesota.

A federal judge in Minnesota issued an order stopping the Trump administration from cutting off funding for food stamps and other hunger-relief programs across the state. The ruling preserves critical assistance for families facing food insecurity. Thank you, Judge Laura M. Provinzino!

Wow! Yay! The Senate just rejected Trump’s proposed science cuts, voting 82–15 to boost funding for NOAA, NASA, and the NSF. The bill already passed the House 397–28. Strong bipartisan support for science still exists.

Math education is complex. It can’t be reduced to single studies or one-size-fits-all claims. NCSM’s new position paper offers a balanced, equity-centered, research-informed alternative—one that honors the real nuance of teaching + learning. Read more → mathedleadership.org/position-papers

Happy Hmong New Year, Minnesota! Wishing everyone good health, good fortune, and prosperity as we head into a new year.

Wonderful opportunity for learning about Ojibwe culture and play! facebook.com/events/s/cel...

Does anyone have an article about responsive decision making that supports using a curricular resource as base tool and then using data to respond? Looking for common language and practices to support teachers. These are some of my favorite talking points from Bridges in Mathematics for context.

I get to go to #nctmatlanta and thinking about #placevalue. Where are people going & what are you all doing to learn about the land?

Our best hope for growing as educators is to learn from one another. Here's my case for why I want people to #ObserveMe. robertkaplinsky.com/observeme/

The penultimate week of #MathPhoto25 is #circles! Where do you notice circles, cylinders, spheres or ellipses in the world around you? #ITeachMath #MathsToday

#AlligatorAlcatraz: A violation of Tribal sovereignty & environmental stewardship The Trump administration and the state of #Florida are illegally building an immigrant detention facility in the Everglades, just 1,100 ft from a Miccosukee & Seminole village.

1/2 Eleanor Duckworth's reminder: The more intensely interested a teacher is in a student’s thinking, the more interested the student becomes in his or her own thinking. Corollary: The more a teacher just wants to see right answers, the less interested students become in their (or any) thinking.
