Tried to get my real ID. I had my license, my SS card and my birth certificate. I was not allowed to get my real ID because my birth name is different than my married name. Now I have to go dig up a marriage certificate. You know who wouldn’t have to do this? A man. Never change your last name.

A few years ago, seniors were asked they’d remember about each teacher’s classroom. I have several cute, notable parts of my room. The colorful paper poofs! The hand knit stuffed animals! The plants! The kids said it was the small, failed demo thing in the corner it took me months to clean up. 😑😶

… It’s time to log off.

The racism is wild in this man. I don’t know to know, but I am sort of curious what it’s like in his head.

Husband: "You sure got a lot done today." Me: "Yeah, I had a lot of grading and a lot of homework to avoid."

I know it's hard to do but you have to tune out the constant & I mean constant torrent of criticisms on social media re: activism & organizing. If you don't, it can stop you from trying to do any activism or organizing. Most of the critics aren't doing any organizing themselves so keep trying things

Charlie was about unity, but all of most dedicated mourners cheered when this man talked about hating his opponents?

Jimmy Kimmel and other late-night comedians have certainly said things about me that I found offensive, even outrageous. It never crossed my mind to call up the networks and say, "Hey, get rid of this guy." Because that's not how America works. play.prx.org/listen?ge=pr...

ALL LIVES MATTER PEOPLE!!! PRO LIFE PEOPLE!!! We need you to speak up now before more children die preventable deaths!!!

But how can you pass moral judgement on their laziness if they are housed? Too many folks want expensive moral superiority, instead of inexpensive dignity, for those who they deem “less than.”

Who could have imagined that a guy who uses the moniker “Ka$h” would take over the FBI and shut down the bribery investigations of his buddies?

So many people are asking how they can support me.. The best way .. is to support @resistanceschool.bsky.social! I’ll be teaching Race, Media and International Affairs 101 and 102 next month. Sign up for lectures by me and guest speakers! www.resistancesummerschool.com/fall-2025-re...

Obama would also like to chill at the crib, painting. Kamala might prefer a cooking show to a 2024 election post-mortem & steady Trump critique. Why does W get a pass? Perhaps he’s ill. If not, he needs to speak.

The fact that he laid so much of the foundation with his “war on terror,” Patriot Act excesses, Guantanamo Bay etc. means he has even more responsibility for speaking up and saying, enough! And if he is good with what’s happening then we need to hear that too. 2/

🤦🏼‍♀️

The bots are working overtime to convince us we should use our limited time and attention to give a known bigot the time of day. Nope.

The last three events I’ve spoken at have been completely sold out. And it’s not because of my speaking skills. It’s because people are pissed. That energy is palpable everywhere I go.

I would like Never Trump Republicans to demand that George W. Bush appear and speak up for democracy in this country. Why do ppl always ask Obama to do things and “where is Kamala”? Where is the 43rd President of the United States while democracy crashes & burns. This is the party he led. 1/

BASH: He's asking his AG in a public way to go after his political enemies. You're okay with that? MARKWAYNE MULLIN: What we know is President Trump is very open and transparent with the American people and he speaks his mind. That's what his supporters love about him.

Ezra Klein and Gavin Newsome's strategy of appeasement is what leads to the far right. Folding on reproductive or trans rights to try and win elections normalizes those positions as moderate rather than extreme

Border Czar Tom Homan was caught by the FBI accepting bribes - on camera - to deliver government contracts in exchange for $50,000 in cash. Pam Bondi knew. Kash Patel knew. Emil Bove knew. And they made the investigation go away. A corrupt attempt to conceal brazen graft.

🚨 BREAKING: Trump’s DOJ shut down an FBI probe after agents caught Border Czar Tom Homan on tape taking $50,000 in cash from undercover operatives posing as contractors in exchange for promised gov’t contracts. MSNBC’s Carol Leonnig & Ken Dilanian with a massive scoop. Link in reply.

Jimmy Kimmel’s show wasn’t suspended because of comments about Charlie Kirk. Major media like the NYT keep saying that, but Kirk was just a pretext. In July, when Kirk was still alive, Trump reacted to the cancellation of Colbert’s show by saying “Jimmy Kimmel is next.” it’s not about Kirk.

Bell to bell cell phone bans: 10/10!

We own a small business on the side, and have removed ALLLLL Uline products. Check them out on "Goods Unite Us." 👎

I can't get over how weird this photo is. I love that someone in England captioned it: "Darling, be a dear and DO click on the floor lamp."

File this one away for the inevitable, populist backlash to AI data-centers driving up Americans’ utility bills. @mikezaccardi.bsky.social

It's important to remember when GOP Reps and Sens are yelling about the 'violent left' that they routinely tell reporters and colleagues how theyre afraid to do this or that because their own supporters routinely threaten violence agains them.

Geo Group and CoreCivic are cashing in on Trump’s immigration crackdown, reporting soaring profits as arrests and detentions rise. Both are expanding detention centers and electronic monitoring to keep up with demand, fueling the deportation-industrial complex. abcnews.go.com/US/top-priva...

They’ve fired a whole lot of pepper balls at us. Multiple people hit, including one struck in the head. They’re charging the crowd and seizing people outside Broadview. The air is barely tolerable from all the fumes.

As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

I think abt this a lot. Wearing a mask isn’t even that big of a deal. But the way (some) folks responded was truly unhinged.

Or, and hear me out, maybe you’re just doing relentless bad things that deserve the coverage. Occam’s razor, and all that.

“But we didn’t know it was going you be like this.” Yeah. Bc you could not listen to the smart Black lady with an ECONOMICS degree. Damn.

Husband: I ordered a rainbow MN flag. What do you say we hang it together on our anniversary? 😍

If y’all don’t stop sending campaign texts about a single comedian and find some jobs for the 300,000 Black women who’ve lost them since the current administration took over…

Full stop.

lol. As a Minnesotan, it’s obviously A. High quality of life plus good travel opportunities. Sorry not sorry, y’all.

Please be aware that anything I tweet about politics (and Brendan Carr specifically) is the most professional and restrained version of what I’m actually feeling

I mean, if we had invested HALF of the schl tech $ into lowering class sizes, I really think we'd have made some real progress. But, nah. We funneled $ into tech bro pockets, created vast amounts of tech waste, & kept teachers largely working frantically, paycheck-to-paycheck, to see little gains.

Hey Friends, this week in Minneapolis there were two shootings at homeless encampments, making it even harder for our neighbors. Sanctuary Supply Depot is raising money to help bring a little more comfort and care. If you have a few dollars to spare (they're only trying for $300!), info below:

WHCA, u up?

The other day I saw a post that, to summarize, said, "We decided long ago to sell our schools to the tech bros." And honestly? I can't stop thinking about it.

Dots Easily Connected…. the dude who LITERALLY wrote the FCC chapter of Project 2025 is head of the FCC currently. ⚫️ ⚫️ (connect them please)

Today I was told that I should speak up more. Uhhhhhh... I am not quiet about things that I think are important. But/and I *am* often dismissed as being "difficult." If important thoughts are being overlooked, maybe a shift is needed in the organizational structure. 🤷‍♀️

Since many of us are cancelling streaming services, now might also be a good time to support writers and artists. Times are extremely tough for creatives, so why not buy a book, commission an art piece, sign up for a Patreon, tip your favorite creators. Everything helps.

Jan 6 was just a sightseeing trip, remember?!

Everything is wrong with this including the syntax
