We need to stop adding things for teens to try to game (and worry about the implications of). initialview.substack.com/p/love-conne...

Just got an email from a service that allows students to request recommendation videos from school staff to send to colleges on their behalf. Really wondering who has time to record/ watch those.

THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE

When I was in my mid-twenties, an older, very wealthy/ beyond connected co-worker asked if he could crash at my place instead of paying for a Chicago Marathon weekend hotel room... I said no and got a call SO fast from HR after I mentioned it to a coworker... he's mentioned in the files. 😮

Leave it like this! Fall of empire! Wabi sabi! Don't fix a damn thing.

Learned the students in one of my first gen groups had never heard of curling before. We took a break from talking about defining what they want in a college to learn about the winter Olympics’ greatest sport.

Field trip #1 of 2026 tomorrow: taking a crew of high school seniors to tour/ meet with a law school.

Judge Reyes starts with a comparison: George Washington versus Kristi Noem.

A reminder that the Kennedy Center is the literal and legal and congressional designated presidential memorial to JFK. This would be like Trump tearing down the Lincoln Memorial to build something “better.”

in retrospect in the wake of the epstein files being released, no wonder ‘me too’ was met with such anger and ultimately those in power it meant to target never face many consequences

34,000 signing up for this work AFTER seeing their fellow citizens gunned down by federal thugs in cold blood? I'm chugging whatever the opposite of doomerism is

we absolutely need to know who he sent this to. how is this something the public is being kept in the dark on???

I love MN

just choked on my beverage

I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio. Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3. Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

Hosting our second annual armed services fair today, it was postponed due to the government shutdown and I’m sneaking it in before another potential shutdown. General recruiters can recruit during a shutdown; ROTC representatives can’t.

Send this to every veteran you know.

Peacock having the Nebraska/ Michigan game with no volume is straight up cruel.

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days. His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

This is assault. There is no possible legal justification for it.

ICE is leaving Vietnam-style death cards in the wake of their kidnappings because they are the saddest, most embarrassing military wannabes to ever live coloradosun.com/2026/01/23/a...

Walz: "I don't care if you are conservative are flying a Donald Trump flag, a libertarian 'Don't Treat on Me,' a Democratic Socialist -- this an inflection point. If we cannot all agree that the smearing of a citizen and besmirching everything they stood for -- someone has to be accountable."

The National Basketball Players Association releases a statement following the Trump regime’s murders of Alex Pretti and Renee Good, saying that NBA players “can no longer remain silent.” The NBPA is standing up for free speech, civil liberties, and the people of Minnesota demanding justice.

The narrative has shifted markedly

5 mins into watching Alex Honnold's climb and already SO nauseous.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

New video shows the man who was killed moments before the shooting. He was peacefully standing in the street observing before ICE agents started pushing him for no reason.

ICE detained a 2-year-old girl in Minneapolis and put the child on a flight to a detention center in Texas, despite a court ordering her release: www.startribune.com/agents-detai...

Having the option to spend my Friday night watching my middle school classmate potentially pass not being the most messed up thing about this week is beyond me. slate.com/culture/2026...

QR codes won’t fix this. This is a deep rot within these “officers”, this administration and the disgusting people who support it.

World Cup is gonna go great.

Just saw on KARE 11 that this boy was sent to a detainment facility in Texas and that his family didn't know his whereabouts for almost 24 hours.

So all colleges and universities will bring back the DEI stuff they cut when obeying in advance right...............................................................................................................................................right?

Minnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."

My uber driver confused me for a high schooler (I’m in my 40s).

This is a WILD thread—that is still ongoing bsky.app/profile/musi...

Yes. My theory of the moment is Miller/Vance thought their view that immigrants threaten social solidarity would be widely shared. But ICE raids are driving native-born Americans to show solidarity with immigrants quite courageously. Now Miller is trying to disrupt that alliance with state violence.

We lost our pup in May to heart failure-- to think of having another year with her. 😞

Profoundly mature take from 7th grader Micha on EdTech (and some FOSS alternatives) that points toward the need for schools to own their tech, not just rent it. #education #edusky #teachersky #FOSS #edtech

it is -10 here today. I was supposed to go do a volunteer shift standing outside loading groceries into people’s cars to deliver to families stuck at home. just got a call not to come in because they have too many volunteers already. if you were wondering if the cold would stop us.

I think we can all root for this.

In just the past three hours — just in my neighborhood — there's been a legal observer pepper sprayed in the face and another observer stopped by an ICE agent who then printed out a map of their home address & threatened arrest. So yeah that federal judge's order isn't doing shit to slow them down.
