The second these people are out of power, it should be the new Democratic administration’s policy that nothing the Trump regime has any legal value whatsoever. That should be the baseline, not the other way around.

Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty didn't hold back: "The right to vote without fear of armed government agents at the polls is not negotiable, and it is not subject to the whims of a president." Read how 9 prosecutors are fighting federal overreach: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/the-resist...

this is the way 💪🏻

Thomas Massie: “Today is the six month anniversary of the Epstein Transparency Act. We’ve taken out two dozen CEOs, an ambassador, a prince, a prime minister, a minister of culture, that was just six months. I’ve got seven months left in Congress.” video courtesy @acyn.bsky.social

Trump did not reach a settlement with the government. There was no case to settle. He has not created a slush fund. He has colluded with Todd Blanche to steal money from the US Treasury. This is not a “deal.” This is a crime for which Trump & Blanche must be prosecuted. It ia a crime.

I’m so furious about how stupid everything is

I say without hyperbole that this is the most brazenly corrupt action in US Presidential history. That it does not immediately lead to impeachment is a dangerous sign of how far the rule of law has declined.

The teachers are tired. We do not care about Spirit Week the last week of school. The teachers are me.

Funny how DEI was stripped for everything at colleges, except for athletics.

Now that the team at NaNo 2.0 has emerged from our post-NaNo nap, we're gearing up for NaNo 2026. But first a little reflection🪞 How did it go for the inaugural Young Novelist Challenge?

America didn’t turn ugly because he became President. No. He became President because America was already this ugly. That’s the uncomfortable truth nobody wants to admit.

My daily mantra has become: "Six more months. Just six more months, and we can breathe a bit. Six more months until at least something resembling a shoddy tourniquet is applied to the hemorrhaging."

Had convos w/ multiple people in the past 4 days who DID NOT KNOW that 1. AI doesn't "think" or know anything; it's a probability machine 2. It was created using massive amounts of work stolen from actual people including me 3. The environmental costs are astronomical Spread the word, every time!

Amazingly generous offer here for history teachers! ⬇️⬇️⬇️

You know, instead of debating how we should go overboard to protect the one man who's the most hated provocateur of malevolent violence in the entire nation, we could just remove him from office through the normal procedures.

“When am I ever gonna use this math in real life?” 🤪🙄

Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia— AOC: Wah wah wah. We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no. What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over.

This graphic is a mess. Let’s clean it up. Opposition infographics are great for outrage, terrible for legal reality. Here’s what’s actually true about Xavier Becerra’s record: 🧵

#AiIsTheProblem Using AI in education is bad for students. We have the proof. AI uses illegally & immorally obtained data for training. We have the settle court cases. There is no rational reason for students to be using AI in schools. #TLSky #EduSky #SchoolLibrarians

BREAKING: The U.S. bishops’ Committee on Doctrine just issued a formal statement defending Pope Leo XIV's teaching authority on just war doctrine — less than twelve hours after JD Vance told a Turning Point USA crowd the pope should “be careful” talking theology. This is a serious escalation.

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces. Equals 10 nuclear reactors Reduces heat island, shades cars The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight. Why aren't we doing this?

Today I told a group of education policy experts and leaders that schools should not pay one dime for AI products before we get research on their effects. No testing on our kids. Not sure how everyone felt about it but a lot of people were quite glad to hear it

When you feel imposter syndrome sneaking up on you, just remember that JD Vance lectured the Pope on theology.

Just a couple Black Jews in conversation about particles, spacetime, universe building and Macbeth! I am so proud and so thrilled for @chanda.blacksky.app and the utterly brilliant, brave book she's written!

It’s infuriating when a woman comes forward about a man raping her in his hotel room after drinking and the response is “Why would she go to his room?” “Why would she drink with him?” This is Mike Pence logic. Women should be allowed to hang out with men without expecting they will be raped.

I KNEW IT. Remembering when my voracious reader child had to sit through daily phonics lessons in SIXTH GRADE. The mandate was every student, every day, phonics. Totally disregarded individual needs. Such a waste of time.

The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world.

I know he is demented and degenerate and mostly pretty dumb too. But Pope Leo is weak on crime is one of the funniest things a politician has ever said.

To everyone who insists that voting doesn't matter and it can never make a difference: Hungarians just voted out an autocrat who had been in power for over 15 years. Voting works.

“Why did they wait till now” Why was a married man sexually assaulting interns?????

Science is cool, but the most incredible part of watching astronauts fly around and return from the moon is our collective hope and humanity. My goodness, what a timeline!

Public school teachers FTW! 🚀

Every single one of the astronauts who went to the moon and back on Artemis II was educated at a public school. Thinking of the teachers who poured into Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen tonight. You helped send a kid to the moon! 🌕 💛

That’s an abomination.

I haven’t said anything because I’m superstitious but now I can: hi other challenger trauma kids who also ended up working their whole lives to be like Ronald McNair. Unclench your jaw.

I'd really like to see leadership calling for impeachment and removal, regardless of whether they have the votes to get it done. Same way we called for marriage equality before we had the votes. A leader's job is to lead. If a genocidal threat isn't impeachable, then nothing is.

Sending love to teachers at the end of this gut-wrenching day - especially social studies and history teachers.

This doesn’t seem hyperbolic now

The threat itself is an impeachable offense. Don’t let it slide.

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

Hey media-- Pam Bondi is not a victim -- she willingly carried out Trump's political agenda to prosecute his political enemies and undermine free and fair elections. Todd Blache is not shouldering a "burden" or "walking a tightrope." He is a willing accomplice. Language matters.

Research supports regularly asking students to recall information from memory. To do that, you don’t need a worksheet. Just a plain piece of paper works great! 📝 #EduSky

really can't be said enough that this case was decided by the same court that decided plessy v. ferguson. if they could have found a plausible rationale to limit birthright citizenship they would have done it. but there is none! the text is as clear as constitutional language can be.
