Reflecting on the legacy of Pope Francis, while not a practicing Catholic — I am struck with the notion that even with the notion of “once a Catholic— you some how are still on the team.”

Just because I need this today #catsofbluesky

Teachers are once again under attack and many of you are rightly angered, defiant, & scared. Social studies standards are state and locally designed. If you teach your state standards you are following your state’s law. You are doing all that is asked of you & usually above and beyond. 🧵

Let’s party like it’s 1896!

Soaring rhetoric it ain’t…

The scene on 1/21/13… President Obama‘s second inaugural. I was fortunate to chaperone a group of students to this historic event! It was held on 1/21 because 1/20 was a Sunday. How times have changed!

The boys are back! #youngbucks

Beanie — no rhyme or reason for the picture — just a cat guarding my workspace #cats

Horns — unhooked #CFP #CottonBowl

It is incumbent upon our leaders to be accurate when quoting from our “Founding Fathers” Speaker Johnson shared a “prayer from Jefferson” that has no basis of accuracy. #Jeffersonprayer www.monticello.org/research-edu...

The first supporter of the president-elect who complains about the Hunter Biden pardon needs to sit down and close their mouth. SCOTUS & Trump brought this on. Who was it that pardoned his daughter’s father in law and then named him an ambassador? 1/2
