Jason Reynolds asks a powerful question about AI in education: What happens when the tool disappears? This piece explores effort, literacy, resilience, and whether AI is quietly stealing students’ fortitude. (Sidenote: Luv Jason Reynolds ❤️) www.edutopia.org/video/jason-...

Handwriting isn’t just “slower typing.” EEG studies show writing by hand recruits broader sensorimotor, visual, memory, and attentional networks than typing the same words. The brain learns through movement too, not only through information. 🧠✍️ #neuroskyence #neuroscience #brain #EEG #words

The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. Put it in your cell phone. Use it. If you're not calling at least once a week, you're not doing your part.

For more than a decade, Stephen Colbert has been one of the top voices of late night—making us laugh and, even more importantly, reminding us who we are and what America stands for.

In 23, a 20 year moratorium on mining was placed on the pristine portion of the Superior National Forest that drains into the famed Boundary Waters in Minnesota. Why are immigrants who help the USA being rounded up, but foreign mining companies, who will strip the minerals & beauty welcomed in?

THE SENATE IS VOTING ON THE BOUNDARY WATERS RIGHT NOW! Tonight, while most people are watching TV or putting their kids to bed, the U.S. Senate is taking a vote that could permanently end protections for one of the most beloved wilderness areas in America.

I’m holding the Senate floor tonight in protest of legislation that would allow a copper-nickel sulfide mine on the doorstep of the Boundary Waters. Not this mine. Not this place.

Truly delightful thread 🎉
