WHY KIDS NEED TO TALK IN MATH CLASS. Kids don’t learn math by listening to us solve problems. They learn math by talking about how THEY solve problems. Mona Iehl shares 3 tips for productive talk. #edusky #iteachmath #mtbos @monamath.bsky.social #mathed @nctm.org www.middleweb.com/52910/why-ki...

I am often asked what laws I would recommend blue states adopt. While there is no one-size-fits-all approach, there are seven changes every state could adopt right now, for virtually no cost or administrative burden. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/seve...

ICE pepper-sprayed this 1-year-old girl. Once at the hospital, the doctor had to call in a poison control specialist. They had never seen anyone that young pepper sprayed. Another horrific story. More details below.

Release the Epstein Files

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87% Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32% Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%. As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

@robynblasco.bsky.social Welcome 🙏🏻 to the conversation.

As it turns out, the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun *isn’t* a good guy with a gun—it can be a good guy *without* a gun. Just another NRA lie.

DOJ, RELEASE THE DAMN UNREDACTED EPSTEIN FILES!! NOW!!!

Horrific news emerging from Sydney. A murderous attack on its Jewish community as they meet to celebrate Hanukkah. Antisemitism is never acceptable in any form - this is unbridled hate at its absolute worst. Please hold the Jewish community in your thoughts and in your hearts.

"Eviction filings in January 2025 reached the highest levels since January 2020, and data collected so far in 2025 shows an increase in eviction filing totals compared to our previous years,” Hoff told the commission.

Sen. Jack Reed: "I must remind everyone that we follow the law of war, and because of that, we expect other countries. So that when our service members are in distress, they're not shot up in the water or if they're wounded, left to die. If we don't do it, then we can't expect other countries."

When the U.S. uses the military against citizens, attacks immigrants, and executes people who pose no threat, it jeopardizes our national security because it incites violence, invites retaliation, normalizes fascism, and sets precedence for others to follow suit. Trump is endangering America.

Measles didn’t make a comeback on its own. This is RFK Jr’s anti-vax movement and his disinformation campaign. And equally as disturbing, some people are perfectly fine with this outcome.

What is the big story of the 2026 midterms going to be? I have some thoughts…

We are failing our children to keep letting mass shootings happen Sandy Hook should have been the last school shooting

I’m so sad for you, I have many teachers in my family. I cannot imagine these very kind and caring people having to learn this and worry that someday this training may be useful and required.

I do some substitute teaching in local grade schools. Some of the “sub instructions” we get include instructions on how to manage chest wounds with plastic bags and improvise tourniquets from common classroom items. How the eff did we get here?

Instead of responding only with thoughts and prayers, Australia will respond with laws and regulations. Because, unlike the United States, it values the lives of its citizens over any sick adulation of firearms. The 1996 Port Arthur massacre led to immediate, sweeping, bipartisan gun law reforms.

Time for implementation of national gun laws. None of this state jurisdiction nonsense. Why did one of the perpetrators have six firearms? What possible justification could there be?

Happy Hanukkah to my friends who celebrate. This is not a political post, so please refrain from making it one.

A lifetime of "thoughts & prayers" have done JACK-SQUAT to reduce or eliminate gun violence. We need to do MORE. It is the GUNS. #SadButTRUE 💔

The purpose of the United States Constitution is to limit the power of the Federal Government, not the American People. #Truth

Among other things, I look forward to the days when the President doesn’t use their social media to spread disinformation.

Democrats should really mention more often how Russia interfered with the election to help Donald Trump. They really need to be more willing to invoke anger so they can harness it.

Understand for the vast majority of us, removing our books off Amazon will hurt. Even if we're widely distributed. My books are available in several places, but 90% of my sales still come from Amazon. I get boycotts are supposed to be uncomfortable, but we need to be mindful of who we're hurting.

Horrific mass shooting at Brown. Thinking of the victims and their families. We simply do not have to live this way. The failure to pass gun safety legislation is a moral stain & innocent Americans pay the price time and again.
