Thanks to @wmata.com for some quick handling of the power issue on the Red Line this morning! Thrilled that they turned around a Glenmont train at Takoma to get folks downtown. Drivers have been great with communication.

Hearing a lot of concern for immigrant students and educators at #AERA #AERA2025. NEA @neatoday.bsky.social has guidance specific to higher ed, developed by our legal team: www.nea.org/sites/defaul... Please share widely!

Excellent overview of what will be lost if Congress shuts down ED. (Yes, I said _Congress_ - today's EO won't close ED.)

If you've somehow missed the near-complete elimination of the federal education data and research infrastructure, this article provides an excellent overview: hechingerreport.org/proof-points... Thanks to @hechingerreport.org and @jillbarshay.bsky.social for the reporting.

This is what happens when you suddenly cut nearly all funding for education research - kids are hurt, perhaps irreparably.

This is one of the best explainers I've read about the implications terminating nearly every IES contract. It's clear that these decisions were made with no understanding of or concern about how IES operates, the data it collects, and the extent to which the education community relies on its work.

This is a disgrace - the core purpose of the Office of Civil Rights is to provide impartial investigations of families' complaints, not to push a partisan political agenda.

Wondering which federal programs will be affected by the OMB announcement? This article has links to the memos...

Sharing some resources that may be helpful in the wake of recent Executive Orders: For those who work in education: www.nea.org/resource-lib... For those who work in health care: www.poppiesandpropofol.com/p/be-a-stron... For federal civil servants: www.civilservicestrong.org

WaPo claims they cut it bc of repetition of topic. When the topic is "genuflecting to our future fascist overlord," maybe a little repetition (and some serious self-reflection) is warranted?

The WIT Community Fund shares the power of play and community throughout the DMV through free workshops, scholarships, and partnerships with nonprofits. Through 12/31, your donation to the WIT Community Fund will be TRIPLED as long as you donate through the link below. Any amount makes a difference!

I'm no IR specialist, but between the US election, South Korea, and this, it's certainly starting to feel like we're barrelling toward international instability and a potential seismic shift in the world order.

Another installment in @propublica.org's excellent series on who benefits from school vouchers. (Spoiler: often it's well-off kids whose parents were sending them to private school already and the segregation academies that they are attending.)

Here's a resource for the next time someone asks about how vouchers (and charter growth) can impact public schools: nepc.colorado.edu/publication/... @network4pubed.bsky.social #edpolicy #edusky #education

💜 Today I'm raising awareness of #pancreaticcancer, which took my mom in 2012. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, please see a doctor! 💜

What states get the biggest benefit from the US Department of Education (@usedgov)

New from RAND: More data on the extent to which teachers, particularly Black teachers, are underpaid, which is a key factor in teacher recruitment and retention. #teacherpay

Grateful to @hechingerreport.org for this starter pack!

Today's education must-read is about the millions of dollars being diverted from public schools in NC and entrenching racial segregation in the process. Thanks to @propublica.org for its always-excellent reporting!

Post a picture you took (no description) to bring some zen to the timeline

Hello Bluesky! Trying to do better than my first insta post, which was a goat cheese salad (thank you for the callout, Bo Burnham 🤦🏼‍♀️). Anyway, current mood:
