Harriet Tubman #quilt by my Mom, Vera P. Hall, who makes quilts celebrating Black people who fought for their own freedom. This seems to be the crowd favorite of the “We Didn’t Wait for Freedom” series. Happy #Juneteenth #quilting

Quite simply, this president is off his flaming rocker. Trump Praises Military, and His Return to Office, in Memorial Day Remarks www.nytimes.com/2025/05/26/u...

Do read and listen but prepare to be infuriated. www.nytimes.com/video/opinio...

Today I almost used the phrase “Hope is not a strategy” in my writing. I try so hard not to be cynical but it’s hard these days. Then I saw this. Glad I didn’t use that adage. I’m going to stay hopeful. www.instagram.com/reel/DJk1iWD...

Fear has a way of being contagious. But courage is also contagious.

Secretary of Defense Hegseth says he doesn’t know if Russia invaded Ukraine. This you?

Zelensky, please just leave the Oval Office. Just walk out. He's not worth it.

I'm really hoping Zelensky shows up in Washington tomorrow just to tell the president to his face that he has no intention at all of signing any agreement to share Ukraine's mineral wealth. I trust Zelensky knows that the president is a bad-faith actor, not deserving of any trust whatsoever.

I’m going on record as one American who is well aware that the current President of the U.S. is spouting lies about the war in Ukraine. Truth is truth no matter how often you repeat lies. 🇺🇦 Trump Flips the Script on the Ukraine War, Blaming Zelensky Not Putin www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/u...

Hey @itsajwillingham.bsky.social! Don’t be nervous. (Although, tbh, I rarely post anything either). A newsletter reader☀️

My grandson’s basketball team re: today’s tournament, said this morning, “I’m kind of nervous.” I channeled every manager, coach & athlete I ever interviewed during my sports writing days &told him not to underestimate his competition. Play the game in front of him. They’re currently leading 56-0. 🫣

I grew up going to DoD schools, some of the best schools in many of the communities we lived in, with outstanding teachers. The new defense secretary should brush up on the meaning of E Pluribus Unum if he thinks diversity harms unity in the military and in our nation. wapo.st/3WRYF1H

Quote of the Day: “Get of your ass and do something” My dad

Unpopular post alert: The idea that anyone would cheer, applaud, “like,” or defend the murder of another human being is puzzling to me. I thought the people on this platform were different. (News flash to self: they’re not). & the excuse, “but his company caused the death of others” doesn’t work.

Day 12 #booksky 20 Influential books (to me), covers only, no explanation. (My editors will say none of it sunk in🤷🏻‍♀️)

@drmoore.bsky.social I thought your Top Ten Books List was 👍 I will use it to guide my future reading. I'm currently reading Louise Penny's latest mystery, The Grey Wolf. It resonates frighteningly with our times. I'm not done, and I'm told there's a twist.😬

Vito beat out nearly 2,000 other dogs to become the first pug to win the National Dog Show. The two-year-old pup became a sensation on Thursday, when the competition, which was held earlier this month, was broadcast on NBC after the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/29/u...

I was so tired last night after a long day. I couldn’t stay awake to watch my beloved Army team get whupped by Notre Dame. It sounds like a thank you note is in order for not running up the score any further. #thequalityofmercyisnotstrained

@bethmoorelpm.bsky.social Had a much-needed reset this morning w/your “God is On the Move” pt1 teaching. So helpful at this moment in time. Thank you for making resources available. 🩷#gratitude

Breaking News: Percival Everett won the National Book Award for fiction for “James,” a retelling of Mark Twain’s “Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.”

I detoured from my usual education/CTE beat to write this piece abt the way cities + orgs use parking management as a planning + development tool. www.georgiatrend.com/2024/10/31/g...

@ashleysloboda.bsky.social Yay! One of my fave Fellows holding down the CTE beat (and much more) in Indiana!

I’m with Mark on this. I’m going to try to hold myself to the same standard I’m holding the people who are going to be running the country. I’ll ignore the trolls, block what I don’t want to see and try to amplify the worthwhile. #blueskiesfromnowon

If you are eligible for certain vaccines—shingles, pneumonia, get them. If you haven’t gotten your Covid booster or flu shot, do it. You have no idea whether those things will be available to you if RFK Jr. becomes HHS director. If you have children, make sure all their vaccinations are up to date

Okay, y’all… I have finally decided that retreat is the better part of valor. Bringing some rainbow energy over to these blue skies. #bydhttmwdi

I just joined @bsky.app today and so far it seems like a very politely subversive space. I dig that. 🙋🏻‍♀️
