I'm so excited to present at #PlainTalkNOLA next week in New Orleans! Who's going? I'd love to connect!

I love all of this👇👇👇

I live and work in Guatemala City 🇬🇹. I am also an INDS Ph.D student @ the University of Alaska Fairbanks Troth Yeddha’ Campus 🇺🇸. I cannot stop thinking abt how ever since the #BenitoBowl 🇵🇷 I see, read, hear more people using the term “US-ers” than “Americans” when referring to people from the US. 💯

And have to share two @edutopia.org posts in a row because this one from @mrrablin.bsky.social is SO cool! I have never seen this seating-arrangement strategy before. www.edutopia.org/article/clas...

I got Rick Rolled in remote learning yesterday by the seniors. They were like "look, there's an update from the State Department" and put the link in the chat.

Listen to Mina.

High school kids are honestly the best people and if you aren't around them much you're missing out. Inquisitive, resilient, absolutely hilarious. Not afraid to call things out that need to be called out. They are the best of us. #iteachsocialstudies

My next pay-what-you-can workshop is coming up! www.tickettailor.com/events/uncon... #EduSky

Too bad there's no opposition party that could run a 48 hour Youtube telethon program with 48 elected officials each programming one hour to point out the awfulness of the war on Iran. That would definitely not get any media or other attention.

Ah all the adhd influencers are sliding into Claude promotional content. Fix your disordered brain by turning your entire data archive over to a platform.

The people who shame Black voters for not voting are the same people who shame Black voters when systems suppress their votes. People then expect the same people who've been excluded from full democracy to show up for democracy time and again. America has to do better.

Writing is thinking.

Being older can really be a curse when you remember the past. You KNOW what happened before when a lot of people simply do not have those memories or experiences.

What if there was a mindful way to steal people’s art, pollute Black neighborhoods, and raise everyone’s electric bill?

The same way you don't want people bombing you and your loved ones is the same exact thing that other people feel where they live.

Everyone in this country MUST watch Let the Fire Burn. Period. www.pbs.org/independentl...

Love it when stuff like this happens ☺️

All of this... I watched in horror each and every night as a young teacher.

Great conversations today in APUSH using @retroreport.org lesson on Andrew Mellon’s policies. Excellent primary source analysis! Pulled it into recent issues like potential of Warner Bros/Paramount merger and how that may relate to this historical moment.

On the one end, this is atrocious. On the other, it’s symbolic of the type of education America has been getting over the last decade or so. Maybe it’s not the type of learning children deserve, but certainly the type America has offered too often.

I wrote about something similar: a line from a play read in hs English class: bsky.app/profile/msds... And how much I wish our world’s leaders could echo something else…

Before the US started another dumb war in the Middle East, I had a great conversation with my friend @mrtomrad.bsky.social about his decision to move his family to Spain and the ICE siege of his beloved Minneapolis. open.spotify.com/episode/2Y4R...

Act 4 of Arthur Miller’s The Crucible. The character speaking here is Deputy Governor Danforth (a.k.a. Joseph McCarthy). When made aware that his support is dwindling and the majority of Salem, et al would prefer he stop killing innocent people in the name of witchcraft, he +

Even though I teach high school, I put my students through fluency exercises still so they don't end up reading out loud like this.

We are really going to regret the technology we have built.

I know nothing about Alaskan politics, but this sadly echoes what’s been going on in California, across the nation and even across professions … “You cannot have a world-class system when your leaders treat people like a disposable commodity or are actively working to destroy it.”

A possibly related hot take that has been on my mind all week: People often talk about how great teachers don’t necessarily make great leaders, but the bigger issue is that the districts I’ve experienced have incentive structures that reward technocratic careerists over organic leaders. (1/2)

Thankfully I am undeterred. Death is the only certainty. Everything else can change.

this is a great brief and it appropriately ends with a killshot: the simple observation that if trump's meaning held, the birthright clause would not have overturned dred scott, the one thing it was absolutely meant to do.

💯 We have to be intentional about how we connect humanly with the kids in our schools and it’s simply not enough to say that’s not in the job description. Learning requires emotional capacity to wrestle with new ideas/perspectives…and sometimes that means addressing problems beyond the classroom.

Nobody has really focused on the 63 million women voters over the age of 50. If ever there were a moment to mobilize them, it's now. msmagazine.com/2026/02/20/m...

@alexisgoldstein.bsky.social is a real one and she's running for Congress. www.democracynow.org/2026/2/18/al...?

Hi Friends. Michelle Obama and her brother Craig Robinson sat with me for a conversation on the IMO podcast. It comes out in less than 3 hours. It’s always wild to find out who watches my sets on YouTube and this whole conversation was really special. I hope you all enjoy it. Available everywhere

Soccer nerds! Sports Nerds! Global History Nerds! The interest form to take Global Soccer & World Politics 101 with @resistanceschool.bsky.social is here. Spaces will be limited. We will also be offering a number of scholarships. Let's gooooo. www.resistancestudiesseries.com/worldcupwait...

I am somebody! This is one of Jesse Jackson's greatest gifts to me.

My students starting singing “We’re all in this together” when they realized Ramadan and Lent are at the same time this year. 🤣😩

Kimberlé Crenshaw did me the honor of meeting with my class today and I sure hope my students understand they met with a legend. She was so gracious and erudite. Just an all around delight.

I need the literature scholars and teachers, specifically those who know Alice Walker’s Everyday Use. I re-read the text this week and broke down talking about how the man’s character sees both of her girls as manifestations of the worst parts of herself. + harpers.org/archive/1973...

Jill Scott’s long awaited NPR Tiny Desk concert will premiere Monday at noon EST:

As a World Cup Soccer fan, I am SO hype to bring this Global Soccer class to the public-- after the New School cancelled it. We just need enough people to sign the interest form so we can get the ball rolling! :)

An underrated aspect of becoming strong is how often I get to go low key embarrass dudes. Highly recommend.
