The NAACP is urging Black athletes and fans to “withhold athletic and financial support” from public universities in states that “have moved to limit, weaken or erase Black voting representation”

This should, of course, be a sober reminder of what the "reopen the schools" crowd demanded with mass infection, now our kids are paying it back with interest.

It's definitely both/and. The emphasis on tech is the more popular narrative and (ironically?) more likely to push attention-grabbing headlines and bestsellers, while nobody has a #1 Amazon Bestseller about how schools need to be more responsive, understanding, & compassionate bc of long COVID...

This article seems like mostly bad faith ragebait from people who should know the difference between the oppressive corporatization and Fisher Price-ification of educational technology for schools and the legitimate value of digital tools. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/19/o...

This is propaganda.

It's actually remarkable the extent to which we're propagandized to perceive the performance of war as free of cost while counting pennies for everything else. A single tomahawk missile costs $3M and we used nearly one thousand of them in the first month of strikes on Iran.

I'm the daughter of an Army paratrooper who refused orders during our illegal invasion of Vietnam back in the day. He went to LBJ military jail. Dad taught his girls this: "Just following orders" is NEVER any excuse for anyone who's complicit in war crimes. You MUST refuse heinous orders.

Accountability is very important. Without it, the people who do bad things are just emboldened to do more bad things. You vote for a capitalist, and you'll never see accountability. If you vote for a capitalist from either party, all these criminals walk free. Divine justice is fake. It's up to us.

Roll for ancient initiative.

People in the US really don't know the only reason Iran has a religious theocracy is that the US overthrew the democratically elected gov't in Iran, and installed the brutal Shah, because they wanted to control their own oil ? Really ????

When the narrative shifts this fast, it’s not evidence of a conspiracy, it’s evidence of a lie struggling to keep up with itself. Lies trip you up when your story changes.👇

"By contrast, social media time would account for a measly 2.4% in the variance in youth mental health, assuming that correlation isn’t just noise (which it may very well be)."

Last year @humrespro.bsky.social hosted a session with an anti-extremism group out of the UK about how to recognize and combat the "manosphere" in classrooms: www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4ox...

Not to be all Ted Lasso about curiosity, but when a 25 year veteran teacher with anEdD and years working with the most marginalized students in the building embraces and suggests a different approach to grades, maybe don’t respond with snark

If you have not read How to Hide an Empire by Daniel Immerwahr I highly recommend it. Incredible how much Americans just don’t get taught about American history

Some of us in education live and work almost entirely in the realm of exceptions and special circumstances. Stop trying to make us fit your institutional norms.

DISTRACTIONS DON’T WORK. COVERUPS WON’T WORK. NOT EVEN WAR. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.

I’m currently pondering the harm done to education by the first teacher to give points for students taking notes.

Happy International Women's Day to the original International Woman

They've now killed four people -- three U.S. citizens and a Mexican national. They've shot several more. They've lied about all of them. They haven't shaded the truth. They haven't "misled" us. They've brazenly, knowingly lied while in possession of the evidence disproving their lies.

Unlike this administration, no Iranian in my lifetime has posed a threat to me and my friends and family. There is exactly one "very radical and wicked dictatorship" threatening America and our core national security interests, and it's headquartered at the White House.

When elephants fight, the grass suffers.

If you can say reading scores in one domain go up as a result of this intervention, and that's all that matters, then the other stuff doesn't even count. Reading scores are a separate outcome from the aim of having a popularly literate society.

Let's be clear, designing K-3 instruction around passing a reading test to determine 3rd grade retention is entirely different from designing school around the belief that literacy is active, enriching, and necessary. Are kids living literacy or just performing parts of it for the test?

"Each child is tested weekly, with scores posted in a green, yellow or red zone, indicating how likely it is that they will pass a big reading test in the spring..." My stars! A system oriented entirely around testing, tracking, and test prep does better on the test! 🤯

the fact the president of the united states is even thinking about asserting emergency powers to disrupt an election - just a few years after he incited an armed coup attempt - should be the top issue. but the media mostly shrugs and the opposition doesnt focus on it.

Weird they dragged in Hillary Clinton when there's another First Lady right there in the White House who actually knew Jeffrey Epstein.

Good. Also, fuck the Department of Education for attempting to pull this bullshit in the first place, and fuck this whole racist, shitty administration. And fuck ICE, while I'm at it, because that's just an evergreen at this point.

notorious radical left communist rag says tax the rich

So you're saying ICE is incompatible with the rule of law as practiced in this nation from the founding? Think I see a pretty easy solution here, champ.

Pressure to achieve at school at age 15 is linked to depressive symptoms and risk of self-harm, and the association appears to persist into adulthood, finds study led by Prof Gemma Lewis, UCL Psychiatry. www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2026/fe...

Well it's a relief to know that the entire modern education system isn't designed to pressure teenagers to achieve. ... Hold on, I'm receiving an update from my producer... ...Oh no.

Just sat through a day long training where the presenter consistently used deficit language about kids and disparaged liberal arts education. I wanted to support the overall message but it made it really difficult to stay on track.

Congratulations to Seattle and to everyone who didn't watch Kid Rock.

Students are better off with a mishmash of progressive grading practices than with consistent implementation of harmful traditional practices.

We can expect no honesty, no decency, and no humanity from this Presidential administration. It will be like this until the microsecond he leaves.

"Why are we doing this? It’s because we’ve lost our minds. Or they were eaten by brain worms. Kids should be kept away from the Legislature, because watching these jokers in action will make them dumber." - @tdorman.bsky.social

Fact , Trump has made more money this year as president than he has his entire life. And technically , he should not be making a dime. Other than his presidential salary.

It’s been 100+ years since the majority of US citizens were rural. Why do they get to define what a “real” American is or what “real” American values are?

Aside from the message, which I support, his control of his instrument is impressive

The fuck it was

No we don’t you worthless lump of campaign bribes, we want ICE abolished and every person who committed crimes, as well as those who allowed it to happen, prosecuted. Go fucking retire, you’ve done enough damage already.

100 percent you're going to see some right wing jerks complaining that Springsteen has gone woke because they never once actually listened to his lyrics before

It appears that this legend owns a little bookstore — and you can order books from him instead of Bezos. Link in next post.

Remember the other day when I was saluting my friend Greg Ketter, owner of Minneapolis’ DreamHaven Books? This is him the following day. Greg will never say this, so I will — now is a great time to buy books from DreamHaven. Support Americans who stand up vs. 🧊. dreamhavenbooks.com

Secretary Noem has forfeited her right to lead. I’m calling on her to resign. Gregory Bovino must also be fired. No one, not an ICE agent, not a federal officer, not a president, is above the law.

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

Here's one way to help: "Minnesota is under occupation by federal agents from ICE and CBP, and we need your support." 👇 www.standwithminnesota.com
