When the President of the United States says he doesn’t know if he should uphold the Constitution, it should be a searing red line for every American. If you let him ignore ANY aspect of the Constitution you embolden him to ignore more of it, including the parts that secure YOUR freedoms & rights.

Governor JB Pritzker just announced that Illinois will be defunding investments in companies controlled by El Salvador to punish the country for holding American residents without due process. More of this.

That’s what you call a trend. On Wisconsin ❤️

Congrats to Wisconsin for telling Elon Musk to fuck all the way off.

lmao eat shit loser

International Women's Day has become a day I approach trepidation--waiting to see Ipsos's annual poll. This year's results don't curb my anxieties. 53% of men globally (47% of US men) agree that efforts toward gender equality have gone so far they're hurting men. And young men agree most of all.🧵1/

Essentially, Reagan gave us distrust in government, plus trickle-down economics, plus precarity, plus scapegoats. And those things together are what gave us Tr#mp. 6/

I truly believe today is the lowest point in American history. And the terrifying thing is, I don't think we're going anywhere but down—unless We The People decide we will not.

Dear President Zelensky, As it is likely that our paths will never cross in person, I could not let this day go by without trying to reach you here. I come to you humbly as an American citizen who is thoroughly and completely embarrassed of our leaders. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/to-preside...

Trump is a monster and a shameful smudge on American history.

1/ I am seeing a lot of comments on the slashing of NIH support along the lines of “universities should just spend their huge endowments.” I’m the last person to cheer on the institutional stratification rising endowments have contributed to. But let me explain why this is not a solution.

The greatest political scandal today is not what Trump is doing. It is the fact that congressional Republicans have given up their role in the constitutional system as a check on the executive branch. If we are in a constitutional crisis, it is as much on Mike Johnson and John Thune as anyone else.

No one will be surprised but I've been watching www.youth.gov website spin as it tries in vain to load the content of a (former) government resource. It once promoted healthy youth and anti-radicalization resources for families and educators. Gone. #EducationalResearch #EduSky #iteachsocialstudies

Sent this out to all my grad students today. Thank you @splcenter.org your materials on "Preventing Youth Radicalization..." are incredible and an excellent resource for school leaders. Lean in. Protect Kids. Pass it on. #EduSky www.splcenter.org/resources/gu...

In Germany they are protesting the far right, in the US 🤷🏻‍♀️.

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

Started sobbing in a coffee shop this morning as I re-read the EO targeting K-12 teachers and schooling. After taking a few moments, I wiped my face, opened up slides for today's class, & continued the work. Not only the work of preparing future educators but the work of resistance #ProtectYourPeace

The courage and wisdom being shown by defiant federal employees is inspiring. Look to the sparrow. The resistance to this madness will come in the form of everyday people doing what is right. www.reddit.com/r/fednews/co...

How can anyone in their right mind ignore this letter from Caroline Kennedy about her cousin, RFK Jr.?

Educators once again are needed to protect children from our government. Let that sink in.

Just saw this on Dr. Katy Swalwell's fb page & since she hasn't joined us here yet, I wanted to be sure to share this incredible book with #iteachsocialstudies and #EduSky @nrdz.bsky.social thanks for this incredible book! I assigned this to methods students at UWMadison & it was transformative!

I just talked to an experienced classroom teacher. She likely knows more about assessment and student needs than any of us. Education researchers are you drawing your next inquiry from the work and expertise of teachers? If not, why? Teachers are experts. #EduSky #EducationalReaserch #AcademicSky

Heart goes out to friends and colleagues whose work will be put on hold or lost because of this lunacy. #AcademicSky #EduSky #EducationalResearch

There's a decent chance that driving a gas car for the last decade had less of a negative impact on the planet than supporting Elon Musk's rise to power by buying a Tesla

Trump does not have a mandate.

DEM SENATOR: Well there’s always next time 😃 a hearty “good game” to my colleagues across the aisle as they shepherd our great nation in the spirit of collaboration and teamwork! 🦅🫡 REPUBLICAN SENATOR: Does anyone know when it’s technically legal for me to kill this [SLUR NO ONE HAS SAID SINCE 1889]

watching the inauguration be like:

nasty fascists and losers. shame.

I love everything about this 😆 Thank you @awalmartparkinglott you have somehow perfectly tapped into this student (who I know too well) and demonstrated the hilarity and playfulness required of exhausted, sarcastic high school teachers 🍎

@drmcquillan.bsky.social McQuillan and Cimpian call attention to the toll the toxic patriarchy and regressive education policies are having on our kids. #EduSky #AcademicSky #EducationPolicy

Earlier today I wrote a short and personal piece about the struggles of life in academia as an early-career and untenured researcher. It seems to be resonating with folks over at LinkedIn, so thought I'd share it here as well: www.linkedin.com/pulse/darker... #academicsky

JUST IN: Another team of Mexican firefighters has landed in LA to help combat the wildfires. Thank you, Mexico 🇲🇽🇺🇸

The extent to which Americans must *rely* on the kindness of strangers rather than the intervention of a robust state care for the common good in the form of a social safety net is never clearer than in the aftermath of their ever-increasing natural disasters.

I'm sorry, @nytimes.com, but these results are only "surprising" if you ignore literally a century of prior educational research. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/02/o...

Louisiana Senator Kennedy (R) making jokes about press outlets being positioned on the "right" or "left" side of the room in a press conference about the murder of 10 people is as tasteless as I would expect from this asshat.
