Be aware of which political party wants the American people to vote and will protect our collective right to do so…and which political party wants to restrict that right so that they may remain in power indefinitely. The difference could not be clearer than at the present moment.

Wonder why? Just to slow things down? Pretty sure pre✅ folks (like people I know) already have all their citizenship papers loaded in.

There is a car broken down in front of my house at 11pm. I can tell it’s disabled because the driver opened the hood and the flashers are on. And you know what? I’m not going to call the police about a suspicious car on the street because I’m not an idiot.

I had to use my birth certificate (ordered from Missouri) and passport to get my Real ID in Georgia (which has my married name matching my passport). Neither my passport nor birth certificate show my address, which has to be verified to show I’m voting in the correct precinct/district.

Does that seem fair to you?

It's already ILLEGAL for non-citizens to vote. This voter suppression bill—the "Save America Act"—solves a non-existent problem while disenfranchising millions of actual citizens. It's a lie from start to finish. #HandsOffHerVote social.demcast.com/s/hpMQn1Dr

One of our 6th grade teachers was considering teaching his students to use AI to summarize research for them, until I asked “isn’t the purpose of your lesson to teach kids to summarize information? With their own brains?” “Oh, right. Didn’t think of that.”

I love watching Olympic snow sports, especially snowboarding, big air, half pipe, and freestyle, and I’m convinced the announcers just make up random names for the jumps and spins.

It was too easy for the people to go to libraries in order to get passports. They have a plan for November. This is one small part of that plan. www.pbs.org/newshour/amp...

The U.S. State Department has ordered certain public libraries nationwide to cease processing passport applications, disrupting a long-standing service that librarians say their communities have come to rely on and that has run smoothly for years. apnews.com/article/pass...

My conservative Appalachian neighbor, a gun-owning never-T vet, says he’s considering moving to a blue state that has functioning government. FWIW.

I have an afterschool crochet club in the library. It’s challenging to teach crochet to children with limited fine motor skills.

We didn't say body cams on ICE. Their murders are already on video. We said no more ICE.

My snarky 7th grade reading team picked out their shirts for the reading bowl.🙄

It has just occurred to me that after my retirement, I will no longer have unlimited access to fabulous YA and children’s lit. How will I deal with that? What if my public library doesn’t have the good stuff because they’re afraid of offending someone?

Does every school have trouble with student attendance? Like, a significant number of kids chronically late and absent?

My daughter asked me what happened to all the Nat Geos we used to have. She also asked if I still have the Wildlife Factfile binders. (She’s 33, they were all donated to a school >10 years ago. )

Sometimes our school receives donated new clothes and coats for students. If you are involved with a charity/foundation/religious group that does this kind of service, please reach out to your recipients before donating. Thank you.

81 years before today, Nazis killed approx between 1.1 to 1.4 million innocent people, Trump is doing the same now.

Preschoolers answer about senses: “what do we taste with?” “Tastebuds!” “What do we smell with?” “Stinkbuds!” The confidence!!

Hey, Siri, play “Here Comes the Sun” ☀️❤️🤍💙

In the interest of stirring further controversy I would like to share my research: French fries. Cookout’s are soggy, Arby’s crinkles are suitably crunchy, McDonalds (used to be #1 in salt & crispness) are disappointing, Burger King’s are meh. Dairy Queen wins with crispness and flavor!

Terrorists abusing power at every opportunity ICE are not Police Trump cannot pardon state crimes Constitutional violations are not official duties Overstaying visa is a civil violation, not criminal offense Crossing border without authorization is a misdemeanor

Petition to stop saying "That's not who we are." It's EXACTLY who we fucking are. How about we start saying, "It's time to change who we are, to defeat our nation's inbred racism once and for all." We start by abolishing ICE and taking down the Trump regime and every motherfucker who enabled it.

German spies visited the USA in the early 1920s to learn about Jim Grow and Black laws they could used against their Jewish population. So who learned what from whom? ICE may be jackbooted thugs you can call gestapo, but they’re basically 19th century slave catchers with fancy weapons.

And no proud boys oath keepers or III% marches since ICE took to the streets. Coincidence? I think not.

My niece just got an iPod and said she cancelled her Spotify because of the way they pay artists. I’ve just started using Spotify more for workouts and travel, but now I’m thinking of going back to my old iPod.

Trump will use Insurrection Act Trump will cancel midterm elections Trump will Invoke Martial Law Trump will have military kill Americans on US soil Trump will attack Greenland Trump will NOT leave White House in 2029 He has told us so, believe him

I’ve realized I have tons of supplies for maker space activities, and since I’m retiring at the end of this school year I may as well go out with a bang and use them all up (because no one else will).

Yesterday asked an 8th grader about a library book (his friends need it, long story). He explained he forgot it & some other things and asked his uber driver to turn around so he could get them, but the uber driver wouldn’t… 🤷‍♀️

There are many wonderful storybooks for kids. Some are best for quiet reading alone, some for quiet adult sharing with a child one-on-one (like at bedtime) and others are rollicking silly stories perfect for read aloud. I need more new read aloud books to get little fired up.

Defeat them all.

Kent State University May 4, 1970. US government has shot protesters before. Also all the horrific beatings during the civil rights fights. State violence against protestors is always a possibility.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but cops are not allowed to shoot people just because you didn't do what they said. That is called murder when they do that. Some cops are working hard to convince people otherwise.

My daughter lives in Minneapolis, in a lovely diverse neighborhood.

The President's powers come from the Constitution and Congress. There's no third source. If neither grant a power—and, more importantly, if either prohibit it—then the President doesn't have it. Full stop.

Unitary Universalist Association press release on Venezuela

Trump: "We are going to run Venezuela." Sane person: "What could go wrong?"

Happy National Bird Day because birds are better than the dumpster fire that is the US government. nationaltoday.com/national-bir...

This book is best read aloud. #libraries I hope my middle grades students appreciate the POV.

TAX THE RICH.......

I am happy to report that my dogs are not afraid of fireworks outside. The cats sat up and briefly took notice. Happy New year!🎆
