Democracy delivered a one-two punch to fascism tonight, but we can’t let up the pressure for a second. Keep fighting the good fight.

Every public school teacher you know now knows more about how to help families find affordable food than they did about a week ago. In case any anti-teacher-union types are curious, this is what those disruptive organizers have been texting/emailing each other about all weekend.

Last night, Trump had a Halloween party that began just hours before SNAP, Head Start, and other assistance programs were set to expire for MILLIONS of Americans. He said he can’t find a way to pay for it. Things that make you go hmmm 🤔

Abby testified today. Her eyes speak volumes. She looks like a broken human. Everyone should be watching this trial and then contacting state officials to demand gun reform.

One of my big goals this summer: understanding where AI fits in a classroom built on writing, feedback, and belonging. Marcus gets it AND frames the convo through Station Eleven, with insights from @heymrsbond.com and @thevogelman.bsky.social Worth the read open.substack.com/pub/thebroke...

Nearly 1 out of every 2 kids in America rely on Medicaid. That’s newborns, children with disabilities and chronic conditions, and those from working families. It is their lifeline. Urge your reps to leave Medicaid alone. Kids need our help.

So sad to learn that a true pioneer has passed.

We’re honored to report that over 11 million showed up for today’s No Kings protest, and totals are still coming in. Just… wow. WOW 😮! There’s nothing more to say.

We’ve truly lost our way in this country. An 80-year-old vet who fought for this country just got arrested protesting Trump‘s parade. He deserves respect, not handcuffs.

Share the history of #Juneteenth with your young readers with WHAT IS JUNETEENTH? Hear more about the history behind the important holiday that celebrates the end of chattel slavery in the United States from author and educator, Kirsti Jewel. #EduSky #TLsky

Still accurate.

NEW: ALA is going to court to stop the President’s attempts to illegally dismantle the Institute of Museum & Library Services. The President does not have the authority to destroy a federal agency. That's why we're taking action with our co-plaintiff @afscme.bsky.social. #ForOurLibraries (1/3)

MAGA Republicans are fast-tracking the SAVE Act, requiring a passport or birth certificate with a DL or State ID to register. Names on documents must match exactly. It will block millions of married women who changed their names—and marriage certificates won’t count. #HandsOffHerVote

"Stories and art bring us together, inspiring us all to discover our unique talents and skills. Libraries are essential to that process—now more than ever." A great message for #NationalLibraryWeek 2025 from @goraina.bsky.social & @scottmccloud.bsky.social, this year’s Honorary Chairs!

Dear Kelly Clarkson, Teachers work hard & are grossly underpaid. They pour their blood, sweat, & tears into helping kids each day. I find it difficult to believe you received no notice about a performance; regardless, consider all stakeholders here, not just yourself. www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/ke...

Today I app smashed to help create another way for my students to study for a unit test: 📑 took my notes 💻 put them in AI 🎧 turned them into a podcast 🎨 used Canva to create a thumbnail 📺 uploaded it to YouTube 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻😬 #edusky #iteachenglish #teacher

There’s a lot of hurt out there right now. Let’s take a breath and reset before continuing the work tomorrow. What’s one positive thing that happened to you this week? #SundayReset #iteachenglish #edusky #authors #kidlit #mglit

For the record, states already have control over education and decide on the standards to be taught. 90% of funding comes from the states too. The Dept of Ed, though, provides funding for those most at need, for mental health and after school programs, for grants for college, and more. #education

Thank you to Norton Young Readers for sending Link + HUD’s next adventure! It is laugh out loud funny and already has a waiting list in my classroom library! #mglit #iteachenglish #kidlit

Libraries are vital, providing access to information, technology, and learning. Cutting IMLS funding threatens these services, especially in underserved areas. Library funding isn’t political—it’s an investment in education, opportunity, and civic engagement. #LibraryLove #ForOurLibraries ala.org

Trump’s trying to gut funding for libraries: you can fight back with ALA. The President's executive order to dismantle the Institute of Museum & Library Services would be deeply harmful. We need to speak out. Take action NOW: tell Congress to protect library funding. bit.ly/ProtectLibraryFunding

Say it with me: Audiobooks are BOOKS! Audiobooks is reading! Audiobooks are NOT cheating! Love this article with research. #EduSky #EdTech #InclusiveEdTech

Unbelievable.

Gutting the Department of Education will impact everything from internet access to school buses. Let’s not make it harder to learn.

This isn’t about fixing bureaucracy in Washington. This is about defunding your local public school. amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/03/...
