Earlier this morning, President Trump threatened me and a group of service and veteran Members of Congress with arrest, trial, and death by hanging. Here’s my response:

My time is precious so it is very important to me that the tech tools I use are efficient. I can find my students’ results easily in @wayground.bsky.social by going to the My Reports area. I can sort by status, resource type, class, date - it’s very helpful! @alanacolabella.bsky.social #letsfindaway

@wayground.bsky.social is a fabulous tool to reinforce what you are doing as a group or teacher-led in the classroom! And there is a library of resources shared that you can use if you are pressed for time.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

At 89 years old, Script Ohio not only remains one of the greatest traditions in college football, but also serves as a signature for Ohio State University and the entire state.

Texas A&M professors have to get clearance from a dean if they want to talk about this game on Monday

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

Oh you rich conspiring pedophiles & all your smug weaselly defenders, please lecture me again about how my trans kid is a threat to American family values

Like I dunno, maybe the reason it took a lady to break open the story of all the men protecting the dude trafficking underage girls is because the male journos were all emailing him making jokes about it?

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far. So much work remains to be done.

In a rush but want to use @wayground.bsky.social to support your students’ learning? Check out the library of public activities that other teachers have shared! Here is an example for French: @alanacolabella.bsky.social #letsfindaway #langchat

One of the cruelest things about mental illness is that it can isolate very loving, empathetic people from the most intimate relationships. I wrote this poem when I was in a psych ward, thinking about others—known and unknown—who have carried life this way. 🖤

I don't know what the Senate is going to do. But if they do in fact fold in exchange for nothing, they will be living up to past performance. To expect the Senate to carry out the will of the American people is to misunderstand why it was created in the first place.

Thou Shalt Never Again Complain About Egg Prices If You Voted For The Guy Who Canceled Food.

Last night, the Trump Administration sent a letter suggesting Wisconsin should return our FoodShare payments. My response ⬇️

Republicans are for “state’s rights” when that means promoting segregation and tormenting LGBTQ folks. When state’s rights means feeding your state’s residents, they are all in for the federal government ensuring starvation.

JUST IN: The Trump administration late Saturday directed states that they must "immediately undo" any actions they have made to provide benefits to low-income families via SNAP.

the only time the filibuster has ever been used to protect a particular interest of a set of states is to kill anti-lynching and civil rights legislation. that's it.

Did women ruin the workplace?

They knew. They knew it was genocide. And they helped Israel do it anyway. www.huffpost.com/entry/biden-...

I understand why we shut down American airspace for a few days after 9-11 to avoid a repeat attack but imagine shutting down American airspace to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

New Yorkers, the law is clear: if you have an EBT balance, a store that accepts SNAP must allow you to use your card. Follow these instructions and file a complaint with my office if you are denied: ag.ny.gov/consumer-complaint

"there is Darwinian competition between societies and the winner will be the one that rejects empathy in favor of hard but necessary choices" should set off alarm bells from a guy this powerful. (Instead of 'societies' it might have been 'races' in the original German, but clear enough)

"If there's one thing I know it is that power can always be made ridiculous. The bigger that fellow gets, the harder my laughter will hit him." - Charlie Chaplin, on laughing at fascists, as discussed in this great @ptklein.com piece: www.howtoreadmovies.com/how-to-laugh...

In 2025 the small businesses of America are coming through to feed their fellow Americans at a cost to their bottom line while the federal government takes our tax money they agreed to use for this specific purpose and builds a ballroom. Please tell me again about the federal taxes we need to pay.

Playing a @wayground.bsky.social activity as a group? You can play Mastery Peak mode & choose the level of accuracy . They are both playing against the group and themselves, and it makes it truly about learning instead of just winning. @alanacolabella.bsky.social #letsfindaway #langchat

Folks demanding political / ideological purity fail to see that this is no longer a movement belonging to the left / liberals. This is an opposition against fascism. By definition it must be big tent. Failure to grasp this: see divided oppositions in Eastern Europe as your failed examples.

Republicans: the second amendment protects the first! Also Republicans: the No Kings Protest is terrorism

"The Brownshirts wanted everyone to see them beat people in the streets. They did public terror. ICE does plausible terror so they can go out and get tacos on the weekend."

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

I understand this. Please tell me you do, too.
