This is Bodie. His presence indicates the beginning of Pride Month. May his whimsy and steadfastness bring joy and confidence to all. 14/10 the parade starts right behind him 🌈🐾 (IG: hellobodie)

A proposed Trump policy would put Russ Vought in charge of American science. Its an example of the slow creep of politicization into processes that both parties traditionally understood as needing nonpartisan and expert guidance. What can you do about it? 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-creep-...

This is the second time I’ve seen him punt on this and it is insane that his office clearly believes, ‘Tariffs, boy, I dunno’ is an acceptable answer for a sitting governor. Having an answer for this is literally part of the job. That you don’t is embarrassing.

New: The White House is blocking more than $2 billion Congress appropriated in February for K-12 and higher education. Here's a list of all 34 affected programs: www.edweek.org/policy-polit...

Exactly. He trashed his own professional principles and for what? The leopard ate his face in the end, as it always does.

When will they learn? Ten years now. As soon as you have no use to Trump, he will turn on you like a rabid dog & his red hat followers will be right behind. www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...

Great thing about Nevada, we have this amazing Basque heritage. It’s pretty unique. Tonight we did a whole tasting of Basque wines (Txakolina, not a typo), a plated meal, and a liquor. So amazing & delicious!

Best concept from the show. And yes, it’s me

Even though I don’t need it - choice. Reproductive rights. All day.

This Mother’s Day weekend, my daughter took me to get my first tattoo. It’s the lamp of knowledge, an education symbol. An even simpler version is on my college class ring from 1991 and I always thought if I ever got a tattoo, that’d be it. So be it.

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! We want to express our heartfelt gratitude to all teachers and educators, especially those in special education. https://exceptionalchildren.org/blog/happy-teacher-appreciation-week-2026

You have the right to send your child to a private religious school. You do not have the right to use taxpayer money to send your child to a private religious school.

Federal funding for special education research may soon lapse, putting vital studies, innovations, and evidence-based practices at risk. https://www.disabilityscoop.com/2026/04/27/ed-department-funding-for-special-education-research-may-soon-lapse/31970/

Q: How will this new technology benefit overworked faculty? A: By allowing Skynet to relieve you of tasks tedious enough to merit paid employment, you can free up time for unremunerated pursuits.

"Experts on federal education spending said they couldn’t recall any other time in recent decades when the executive branch adjusted congressionally approved program funding levels at all—let alone to this extent." h/t @marklieberman.bsky.social for keeping on this www.edweek.org/policy-polit...

Not gonna lie, one of my fears. I recently came home one day & in changing out of my work clothes, realized I had a tag that had been (I think) hanging on the inside of my pants all day.

Anyone suggesting we should stop accurately pointing out factual ways that the president is wrecking this country on a daily basis, or expressing an opinion about that, because of something a random nut does is espousing a profoundly un-American concept that I completely reject.

Another article on generational differences (specifically, money & power) that leaps from Boomers to Millennials. I swear. The GenX disrespect started at our births & never stopped. apple.news/A5yGix-4WThG...

I went to a gun range today for the first time in my life. I had ear protection on and nearly jumped out of my skin when someone shot an AR. I can’t imagine the fear numerous students & teachers have felt hearing that unmuffled.

Man, math instruction has clearly had issues for 60 odd years or more.

DOJ delays disability online access rule for schools : NPR www.npr.org/2026/04/22/n...

The 2024 final rule was not a new requirement—web accessibility is mandated by the ADA. State and local governments have had decades to comply. Delaying the deadline for another year excludes people with disabilities from accessing critical information. www.aapd.com/aapd-stateme...

A perennial favorite

Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his final speech 58 years ago tonight (Apr. 3, 1968) in Memphis. It’s widely known as the “mountaintop speech.” This is a powerful excerpt of that speech. It’s still meaningful and very applicable to the current moment.

How is this man so clearly reading off a teleprompter and this is still so bad? Hopeless.

We spent two decades unspooling the damage done by calling kids “super predators” in the 90s, and this complete dingdong wants to jump right back there. 🙄🤦‍♀️

In the words of the great Frederick Douglass about the cult of Robert E. Lee, “is it it not about time that this bombastic laudation of the rebel chief should cease?”

Trump is forever trying to mess with Treasury and now student loans are moving out of the Department of Education and into Treasury. I expect shenanigans to quickly set people off. This is not good. Gift link 👇 www.nytimes.com/2026/03/19/u...

Specifically in regards to Cesar Chavez, but really applicable in so many ways.

There's a hearing in the House today—bitterly ironic that it's being hosted by the Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution—entitled #Immigration Policy by Court Order: The Adverse Effects of Plyler v. Doe. I'm gonna use this thread to share some thoughts. judiciary.house.gov/committee-ac...
