Doug Ford canceled Ontario’s Starlink contract with Elon Musk and banned all US companies from provincial contracts in response to Trump’s tariffs on Canada. “It’s done, it’s gone,” Ford said. “We won’t award contracts to people who enable economic attacks on our province and country.”

Democracy depends on our freedom to learn.

Raise your voice for honesty, truth, and compassion and against injustice, lying, and greed.

Oh, honey . . . if Democrats could *really* rig elections, why aren't they in power in the White House, Senate, House, and Supreme Court right now? You're such a simple thing.

Postal service union launches television ads promoting mail-in voting

The richest man owns X. The second and fourth richest men control Google. The third richest man owns The Washington Post. The fifth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

Hope isn’t blind optimism — it arises in the face of uncertainty. If you look at our history, we’ve gone through some rough patches. But we tend to come out on the other side of them stronger than before.

It's not fair to judge schools the same when the schools aren't given the same resources.

Put the pressure on those who make sure schools have the proper resources, like up to date textbooks & technology, like libraries, like certified teachers, like recess, gym, music, and art! And school meals because hungry children can't learn.

Exactly. Blanche is the one who cut a deal with Maxwell to waive her sex offender status. He got her “out custody” and moved her to club fed. He’s the Michael Cohen of the Epstein era.

Impeachment, not the 25th. He is unfit for office, but his problems now are because he has surrounded himself with enablers and thinks he has no restrictions or consequences.

Texas redistricts without a vote, Republicans cheer. Dems in Virginia respond by putting it UP FOR A VOTE OF THE PEOPLE, it passes, Republican cry foul. Oh well. Good job Virginia!!

Research shows that Standardized Testing has distorted what we teach and how we teach, and not in a good way.

In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces. 249 years later, we have this idiot.

Teach More! Test Less!

Tim Cook donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration. He fawned over Trump and gifted him a 24-karat gold plaque (as Apple lobbied for tariff exemptions). Apple donated to Trump’s White House ballroom. And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores following a demand from the DOJ. Remember this.

If you live in Virginia, tomorrow you have a huge opportunity to make it clear to the GOP that if they want to win, it won’t be by changing the rules and redrawing maps. At least, not without a fight. Vote YES on the redistricting vote, and push back!

Teachers learn more from the living, breathing kids they spend every day with, than any standardized test could ever tell them.

As a reminder, anything he says is likely to be a lie. Tragically, the Iranian government statements regarding the blockade are much more likely to be accurate. A terrible state for America to be in with an illegal unnecessary Trumpian war raging.

Stop the Data Mining!

DO NOT STOP TALKING ABOUT THE EPSTEIN FILES

SEN. @ossoff.bsky.social : “Draft-Dodging Donald loves sending other people’s children to war… Just 2 weeks into this war Trump said he needed $200 BILLION to fund it — that’s a decade of nationwide universal pre-k… instead, a war no one voted for, and no one can explain.”

No standardized test can attach a meaningful number to the quality of original thought.

We’re out here every week, fighting for this country. No War, no ICE, no Epstein cover up. We will never stop.

Today is the 251st anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

A reminder that when Donald Trump threatens tariffs, he's threatening a tax on working families. He already owes Illinoisans $8,679,261,600 from his last round — and now he's waiting to throw in more to the pot.

Amazing! This is the line to get into Peter Buttigieg’s town hall in Tulsa tonight.

Today, President Barack Obama and I read to a group of toddlers at Learning Through Play Pre-K Center in the South Bronx.  In between singing wheels on the bus, we discussed our administration’s vision for this City — one where New York’s Cutest have the strongest start possible.

This image is a political illustration from the German newspaper Die Zeit depicting a confrontation between a Pope and a US President. The artwork is titled "Pope Leo XIV" and portrays a tension-filled scene between the two figures.

It is a war on the poor. And who benefits? Not our nation because we need smart people.

Child: I know your name. Mamdani. Obama: What’s his first name? Child: Mayor.

I personally don't believe the people of Texas have the guts to elect Talarico as their senator. Too many of them are caught in their conservative rut and will be captured by the fear mongering by his opponents.

All standardized tests tell you is how wealthy the families are. Not because they are smarter, but because they have more resources and make sure their local schools have good resources, too.

We are living in a timeline so dumb it's exhausting.

We need problem solvers and innovators, not bubble fillers on multiple choice tests.

The grift never ends. Most corrupt regime in history

Real learning can't be measured or confined by multiple choice questions. Real learning goes deeper than that.
