Agreed! YES: Rep. Jasmine Crockett calls for all 50 states to ABOLISH voting machines owned by Dominion, which is now owned by a MAGA election-denying Trump supporter.

Most histories of hoodies go with 12th century monks as the originator, but I like to show my students this one from 5th-7th century Egypt.

You could go further, right? Where’s the demand for a new Speaker? If Johnson is going to refuse to do his job, why aren’t we calling for him to be replaced, the House sent back to work, the shutdown ended, and the Epstein files to be released.

Hey Democratic governors! Could requesting UN monitors help? @govpritzker.illinois.gov @governor.ca.gov @tinakotek.bsky.social @governorwalz.mn.gov

Eleanor Roosevelt faced death threats because of her activism for equal rights. DJT's courage wouldn't even fill up his bone spurs. He can tear down the #EastWing, but he can't erase her legacy.

Again, this is a liquidation of the union in all but letter of the law. This is reverse secessionism engineered by a central government.

Brilliant thread about guiding kids in their processing of social media!

This is brutal. This is America 2025.

Dire as the stakes are, leaning into absurdist and lighthearted forms of protest seems like a great way to puncture the fantasy Trump & co are spinning to attempt to rationalize a violent crackdown.

We got up on the bridge (I stood behind the T) and told our brothers and sisters on the 101 freeway how we feel about this president. Thanks to Woodland Hills @indivisible.org for organizing! #resistance #losangeles

The Trump administration’s primary communication strategy is drawn from the DARVO tactics of abusers: Deny Attack Reverse Victim and Offender

One week out from publication day. We're launching our book about Benjamin Lay, a little person who was one of the world's first abolitionists, at the Abington Quaker Meeting House in PA. This is where he and his wife worshipped! #kidlit #nonfiction #resistance #edusky 📚

Today's #kidlit #resistance quote: "Some people think she should quiet down and let men do the talking. Dolores just gets louder. She asks other women to speak up, too. Their voices rise up together, booming over the farm, roaring into the city, rumbling across the country."📚👍 #edusky FROM:

Especially if the admin prevents free and fair elections next year.

Sundays I'm posting a quote about #resistance and #solidarity in #kidlit. Today's gem is from WE ARE THE CHANGE, inspired by @ACLU, Chronicle Books, art by Juana Medina. #edusky 📚👍 What are your favorites?

“One of the perks of parenthood, it is often said, is to relive the joys of one’s youth, to share with your child everything you once loved—especially books.”

Sunday's #kidlit #resistance quote, from My Little Book of Big Freedoms, inspired by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, lovely art by Chris Riddell.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

Congratulations! Great title.

Bookmarked. Shared. Liked. I'm laughing my ass off at this! Share this far and wide. Thank you, Donald for your attention to this humor! 🤣🤣🤣

Start planning now to attend a No Kings protest on Oct. 18. We need this one to be even bigger than the last one. Invite your family and friends, and ask them to invite their family and friends. People power can defeat fascism.

Sundays I'm posting quotes from #nonfiction #picturebooks about #resistance "They ignored the law & refused to leave until they were served. Those kids had a recipe, too. A new brew called integration. It was just as simple: combine black with white to make sweet justice." FROM:

Look what happens when I try to go online this morning #Catsofbluesky #cats 🐈
