I wonder how orgs like Edutopia decide what the "most significant studies" of the year are... Looking through the list, there's certainly some great findings, but now I'm stuck thinking about the metrics used for selection. 🤔 /1 #EduSky

“Despite the scale of the attacks, efforts to sustain education in Gaza have continued.” open.substack.com/pub/dropsite...

Here is a sentence I just heard uttered by a man shouting with a PA system while walking across campus: China is a deep threat to us and it is because of communism started by Karl Marx, but Jesus came to liberate us from this and by accepting capitalism we can accept him and his plan.

Looks like my AERA 2026 is going to be packed! I guess I’ll be discussant and/or chair for seven sessions 😅

Made it to finals week. Now to wrap up grading and kiss the Gregorian 2025 goodbye!

Every sentence here is even crazier than the last.

We're not sure exactly how many Native people have died altogether during the ongoing AIDS crisis because the medical authorities didn't bother to count Native people for several years. #WorldAIDSDay

‼️Leonard Peltier also sent us a WRITTEN STATEMENT in addition to the video that we watched at National Day of Mourning 2025. Here's what he wrote:

The problem with ICE is not that it's targeting people who aren't criminals. The problem with ICE is that it's an unaccountable secret deportation police. It cannot be reformed under a better president. It can be made less terrible, but the instrument of repression remains for the next tyrant.

I appreciate the work @littlejusticeleaders is doing on Instagram to provide white settler parents with resources for talking to children about social injustice. Here is an example for engaging in discussion about Thanksgiving (and its myths).

As part of the dismantling of the Department of Education, the Trump admin moved key programs serving Native students from the Ed Dept to the Department of the Interior. Tribes were not aware of the move. ictnews.org/news/departm...

Several Indigenous short films will be streamed for free by the National Museum of the American Indian from November 21 (5 PM ET) to November 28, 2025 (5 PM ET). americanindian.si.edu/native-cinem...

Can we just have old Google back without AI and SEOs and the pay-for-play optimization that ruined it as a search engine entirely? Please? I really miss having a functional search engine.

It’s that time of year when I listen to a lot of Radiohead.

The AI bubble may be about to bust. Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock. We all need to say this very clearly: NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH! Expropriate their asses instead. They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet. They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3

The problem with having assigned a midterm exam is that now I have to grade them. 🙃

The message on IG from Alice (posted by her friend Sandy Ho). As always, Alice blazes a path for the rest of us, fearlessly & with humor: "I'm honored to be your ancestor & believe disabled oracles like us will light the way to the future. Don't let the bastards grind you down. I love you all."

And on top of siphoning money away from public schools, they also siphon away trust--their existence conveys to families that neighborhood public schools aren't good enough.

Stop saying the Senate Dems lost. This was a forfeit, not a loss.

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

My drive to work would be improved significantly if there was a drive through breakfast burrito place en route.

Justices Gorsuch and Thomas, who never agree on anything concerning federal Indian law, agree that the federal government doesn't have plenary power over Native nations. This is a remarkable joint statement that should lead Justice Thomas to revisit a hell of a lot of things he has previously said

Had a great time at #HES2025 and only experienced one major airline delay on the way home (out of 3 layovers, so that’s pretty good)! A pleasure, as always, to be in conversation with and receive feedback from other historians of education. There is tremendous work being done in our field! #HistEd

Essay shared w/ me by a friend. While its focus is enacting international sociopolitical solidarity, it’s hard not to read and apply this work to academia, too. Particularly Ali’s damning, and haunting statement: “We have turned inquiry itself into ritual.” africasacountry.com/2025/11/when...

This! I have been using the em dash far longer than ChatGPT and I refuse to concede this ground because of an automated language model.

In celebration of Native American Heritage month I want to talk about erasure. Erasure is how anti-Indigenous racism functions in the U.S. today. 🧵

Morning time in New England. #HES2025 #HistEd

This moment in history needs much more Eugene Debs!

i can’t believe a good thing happened we should do this more often

Young people in NYC absolutely showed out and there should be 1000 articles and profiles about this. Because we have had to put up with 1000 MAGA diner stories for years now.

Mamdani won. His victory speech was great (and inclusive), and the pundits are FREAKING OUT because they love the status quo.

This is why they are doing things like shutting down Teen Vogue

AKA #ManufacturingConsent for all the political nefariousness to come. 🙃

The combination of daylight savings time meaning darkness arriving much earlier AND baseball ending is just a huge bummer.

Government Shutdown Highlights Need to Reform How Federal Funds Support Native American Tribes. nativenewsonline.net/sovereignty/...

the year is 2066. the dodgers and blue jays are in their 8692nd inning of the 2025 world series, game 3

Over one million American Indian and Alaska Natives at risk if SNAP funding lapses. ictnews.org/news/over-on...

here we go.

That moment when you trip on the stairs while holding hot coffee and it spills all over you… now that will wake you up! ☕️🔥😅

The same people who lost their minds over renovations to Cracker Barrel are totally fine with the White House getting bulldozed

I firmly agree with school leaders arguing that admissions @ this school is a matter of tribal sovereignty. That said, I’m sure the racists challenging the school admissions policy are choosing to ignore the history of who (re: the US) decided to use “blood” as an identity marker in the 1st place.

Today I engaged in the painstaking work of converting a historiographical essay for publication from Chicago to APA. 😵‍💫

Perhaps the moral of the story is to take racism seriously.

One Battle After Another was just so good. PTA does it again. 🎥 🎞️

“Leadership isn’t meant to be a perpetual sprint. The real work is creating conditions where things do stabilize: initiatives that stick rather than cycle in and out, teachers who feel invested in so they stay, systems that sustain themselves instead of needing constant firefighting.” #EduSky

It is absolutely vital that we read books & stories from cultures & communities not our own, but while we're retraining our brains to read/think with real depth, we might want to rethink HOW we read those other stories. Bad Indians Book Club explores that exact space...

In about three years the entire university pivot to AI curricula and schools and programs is going to be so deeply embarrassing. We will all pretend it never happened and I will be standing there, looking at people with a mirror in my eyes. This is all so embarrassing.

Popping in to share a link to an Advocacy Toolkit assembled and distributed by the Teacher Education Division of the Council for Exceptional Children. Exceptional children, special educators, and the hundreds of DOE employees who received RIF notices this week need our support! #EduSky
