This absolutely insane letter is just begging for a response along the lines of the Cleveland Stadium Letter

🚨🚨 Deranged letter from Education Secretary Linda McMahon to Harvard’s president, cutting off federal funding for any new grants. Worth reading in full. It is NUTS.

I have a boy turning 21 soon and want to get him 21 fiction/ non fiction books. He was an avid reader, now attached to a phone.All recommendations welcome!

A very important opinion piece, certainly something worth discussing in the senior cycle class #edchatie thanks @aisjclery.bsky.social for bringing it to my attention www.thejournal.ie/readme/conor...

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

It is not Zelensky and Ukraine that should be thanking the West. It is the West that should be thanking Zelensky and Ukraine.

European leaders are stepping forward to tonight to show their support for President Zelensky 👏

Dictator vs. Democracy. The stark contrast could not be any greater. 🇺🇦 🇺🇦 🇺🇦

The idea that JD Vance—who has never been to Ukaine and chalks up his knowledge to shit he read on the internet—believes he knows more about the situation in Ukraine than the man who has led it for the past 5.5 years is a perfect encapsulation of the havoc this administration is wreaking worldwide

The last crop of Robber Barons gave back to the country in the form of philanthropy. I am reminded of the Carnegie libraries. This current crop of billionaires give nothing back. But in fact want more. Their insatiable greed is appalling.

Zelensky is a Hero

A tough day for humanity, but this too will pass. Resist division. Build community. Build resilience. Build relationships. Show your neighbour you care, and show those who have lost their hearts to anger and darkness that there is a better way. No pasaràn. Not now. Not ever. 🇺🇦🇮🇪🇸🇪❤️

I have to mention before we finish that it is a scandal that the recent guidelines have not referenced the SENCO role. It needs to be recognised, standardised, formalised and supported. The current system is too onerous and the level of support for AEN teams varies from school to school! #edchatie

Nurture room. Trauma informed practices. Building relationships. Low arousal approaches. Making connections. Starting from where the child is at. Seeking to understand. Co-regulation leading to self regulation. #edchatie

Wow! What a great cover!

"Fascism always fails" is beginning to sound like the 2025 version of "it'll be over by Christmas".

One of my students is doing a final push for participants who are over 25 for her research project, looking at birth order and attachment style. If anyone has a few minutes to fill it in and/or share. Thank you 😀 dcusurveys.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_... #DCU #Speirgorm #speirgorm

I find this very moving: a 10-year-old Ukrainian boy who moved to the West of Ireland 2 years ago as a refugee, speaking in Irish of his love of playing Irish music

The unstinting champion of women's rights consistently regards his wife's work with great praise.

One of my favourite bits of graffiti:

While I go pour more tea, here's a #painting earlier - a few years earlier. "Pine Island" I painted because I find the iconic scene of Connemara's Lough Derryclare irresistible so have painted it a few times. Knowing me I'll paint it again. #SpeirGorm #BlueSkyArtShow #ArtYear

Jennifer O’Connell wrote a disparaging article about teachers in @irishtimes.com during Covid lockdown in 2020 titled “If hairdressers ran our schools every child would be going back in September”. Same Jennifer now gives workshop to teachers via @newsbrandsireland.bsky.social? Seriously? #edchatie

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

If making America great again requires you to pay more for everything, lose your retirement savings, work more for less pay, be unable to afford health insurance, become an indentured servant to the oligarchs, maybe you were better off with the no so great version.

This is very good

I snort laughed when I got to China.

It’s a coup

A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deck— that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground 💅🏼

We at @freetrees.ie gave away 80,000 trees this morning on our website. We could give 1 million trees a year to be planted, create habitats for wildlife, and mitigate climate change… If only we could only get the funding. #spéirgorm ideas?

Historians will write books about this dark period in US democracy. This will be the cover photo. It was taken inside the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia on Wednesday. (📸 Anonymous source, printed in The Washington Post)
