BREAKING: Abortion will remain legal in Wyoming after the state Supreme Court struck down laws, including the first U.S. ban on pill abortions.

Walz: "What Trump tweeted the other night put the Hortman children at risk. They have to look at security. Put my family at risk again. What he's doing the Somali community is unconscionable ... for God's sake, the kids of a murdered Speaker. And [Rs] can't speak up and say 'this is wrong. stop it'"

Beginning 2022, I started having arguments with people who didn't experience the loss of a loved one to COVID & associate "lockdown" with sourdough starters & WFH rather than Zoom funerals. I just had to accept that we did not have a shared reality, nor were they willing to remember.

Trump's DOJ has only released about 5% of the 5 million Epstein files in its possession, many of which were entirely redacted. This is NOT transparency—it's a brazen coverup & violation of federal law. Pam Bondi must release all the files NOW. Survivors have waited long enough.

Rough vibes on this website today, likely because people feel Hopeless and Helpless Because Can't Stop It and No One Who Is Supposed To Is Trying To So Now We're Fighting Each Other™. I recommend activities such as book, or potentially instrument if you like instrument, or even do talk on phone.

I guess I should have kept those No Blood for Oil signs . . .

shel silverstein was a prophet

a fascinating thread on how the field of evolutionary biology is not transphobic, and how the science actually works from those in the field (not the loud wrong BINARY voices). A reminder to ask the real scientists . . .

#ITeachMath check out this application for those who seriously wanted to create a summer mathematics program with a focus on enrichment, not remediation

I think that high-quality journals that really use experts in peer review will become EVEN more important as AI garbage comes streaming into our academic lives #AcademicSky #EduSky

Do not cite an academic paper unless you’ve read it

Still laughing about the fact that dude slapped his name on a memorial building, like he absolutely cannot wait for his own death

President Trump thinks he can intimidate Colorado by shuttering NCAR. It’s political retribution, Senator John Hickenlooper and I won’t stand for it. We are holding up the appropriations package to demand NCAR is fully funded. Read our full statement here:

Good. American excellence in science is the result of decades of federal investment in facilities and in training scientists. NCAR does not belong to the President. It belongs to all of us.

Brooks appears in three Epstein files photos released today 🤨

David Brooks, who wrote in the NYT last month, "The Epstein Story? Count Me Out" is... in the latest Epstein photo dump published by @oversightdemocrats.house.gov. He should absolutely be fired by NYT for this. Major conflict of interest that he didn't disclose.

1/ At bargaining yesterday, @propublica.org management said that they should have 100% discretion to replace workers with AI and would not commit to labeling future AI-generated content.

While we were busy with the US Congress, major international news on trans healthcare. A New Zealand court announced an injunction on the far-right trans health care ban there. The court says that the biggest danger is posed by banning care. Big story for us from @transvestigations.bsky.social

Disgusting that Democrats would join with GOP on this attack on trans rights and parental rights.

These people are nuts. NCAR developed the GPS dropsonde, which revolutionized the understanding of TC structure, improved forecasts, and validated remote sensing platforms, as documented in over 400 peer-reviewed publications in the last 25 years. And that’s just one of NCAR’s countless advances.

NCAR is quite literally our global mothership. Everyone who works in climate and weather has passed through its doors and benefited from its incredible resources. Dismantling NCAR is like taking a sledgehammer to the keystone holding up our scientific understanding of the planet. Unbelievable.

I now believe that part of the reason many Americans have embraced anti-science and anti-vaccine beliefs is that healthcare is so expensive. So there is an attractiveness to the idea of being able to opt out of the healthcare system by eating healthy, consuming supplements and detoxing.

Administrators are inking deals with OpenAI and inviting Palantir onto campus, ignoring faculty expertise and rolling out unproven data-thieving surveillance snake oil tech on our studens, staff and us. Enough.

#ITeachMath SO MUCH MATH

A great roundup by Edutopia on 10 best ed research pieces in the last year. Why helping can be counterproductive, another approach to math word problems, a study of practice-based pre-service education with implications for PD in mathematics, and MORE #MTBOS #LearningSciences4ever

Excellent article. Paragraph after paragraph is damning.

Check out this position paper about evaluating claims in math education. That’s some bold leadership NCSM! #ITeachMath

“The math is brutal and the juxtaposition stark: millions for OpenAI while pink slips go out to longtime lecturers. The CSU isn’t investing in education—it’s outsourcing it, paying premium prices for a chatbot many students were already using for free.“ www.currentaffairs.org/news/ai-is-d...

This is the first graph from the book, which shows that the increase in work hours for women and decrease in housework time (bc of time-saving technology) exactly offset each other. But that increase in childcare time? Unaccounted for. We spend twice as much time with our kids as a generation ago!

We ain't buying it!

"[G]ender-affirming care saves lives." "Suicidality scores among the [study's] patients who provided responses dropped by over 67 percent." "[O]f the hundreds of patients who started hormone therapy, only seven discontinued their treatment." #USA #Healthcare #Suicide

#ITeachMath #EduSky I urge all educators to watch @drtanksley.bsky.social describe multiple studies that show LLMs and other machine learning are antiBlack, increase the achievement gap in math, and target Black students. Chilling. Do not uncritically allow these technologies around our children.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

"While other universities report that the humanities are shrinking, at Berkeley, the opposite is true. The music major is the fastest-growing major on campus. We are finding bigger classrooms because film is exploding. English is back to the numbers we saw 15 years ago. We are hiring" bit.ly/4ohKuOe

Great starter pack with tons of quality nonprofit news sources. A great way to move beyond the big sources and get quality news on topics that matter to you!

Very Extra broadsides are my favorite letterpress genre to make. You can tell this one isn't done yet from there still being significant white space. (Uses my recent acrylic PC & wood skeleton lasercut blocks, which both came out well, as well as my wood Luddite lasercut block) #DHmakes

New research supporting the radical proposition that trying to learn something works better than not trying. theconversation.com/learning-wit...

Great news for ed! Stunning defeats from the regressive, divisive and racist group that was infiltrating school boards, from the article "Moms for Liberty candidates lost all 31 contested races nationwide in the November 2025 elections, marking a complete national shutout." #EduSky #AcademicSky

Biggest shocker at my talk today, which is consistent with my other talks and media stuff, is that the acceptance rate for men and women are different at highly selective institutions. Men have a much higher acceptance rate because most colleges are scared to go beyond a 60/40 ratio.

What a great story about a great initiative!

I don’t want to formulate words yet, but my friend Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social of the Disability Visibility Project, has passed. Here are the words she left behind: www.instagram.com/p/DREMDNBjnq...

It’s a rainy morning in California, but our future is bright! ☀️ We are reveling in this incredible win for academic freedom and higher education. www.latimes.com/california/s...

Any opinions/experiences on how to distribute an audiobook? I have recorded it on my own dime, I own audiobook rights (book itself is already published for teachers, doing well). I don't want to hand my hard-earned work to Amazon, but are there options? #EduSky #AcademicSky #MTBOS

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered. He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here : www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/glo...

KEEP SHARING YOUR STORIES about increased ACA premiums due to the disappearance of subsidies. The stories clearly are having an impact, they help people feel less helpless, and they create solidarity that leads to action. Mine went from $395→ $821. What happened for you?

the Journal for Research in Mathematics Education is currently accepting proposals for upcoming Special Issues -- and we want your ideas to lead the next big conversations in the field. More info: www.nctm.org/JRMESpeciali... #iteachmath #AcademicSky

After yesterday’s surrender, we’re launching the largest Democratic primary program that we’ve ever run. We will not back any Senate primary candidate unless they call for Schumer to step down as Minority Leader. If you’re as pissed as we are, join this campaign to rebuild the Democratic Party. 👇
