Here's where to find a June 6 protest near you on the @de-icecitizensbank.org Day of Action: www.de-icecitizensbank.org/take-action

Also intriguing: the kids are right. Reading, writing on, touching, and thinking with paper focuses, produces, and humanizes.

If you live in or near Rochester NY, join us in June to Voice the Constitution. Read it out loud with your friends and neighbors and learn a half dozen things you never knew about our founding document. See the schedule at thegreatcollaboration.org

Converting to Catholicism so I can tell my bosses using unregulated AI is against my religion and I will sue them like that cake lady who hated gay people if they make me use it

"We live in a culture that has conflated forgiveness with amnesia, and civility with the erasure of accountability. Douglass would have recognized the confusion immediately and rejected it just as quickly."

If ever there is a day to speak to truth to power, it is Memorial Day—a day when we acknowledge the sacrifice of men and women who gave “the last full measure” in defending our democracy. Frederick Douglass understood this all too well. #CivilWarMemory kevinmlevin.substack.com/p/what-frede...

I feel like this applies to education, too.

He doesn't mean they're doing better now. He just means we stopped helping them.

Clearly the 2026 word of the year.

We need historians because what we remember matters. Public memory shapes how we understand the past and present. What story do you think should be remembered more widely? #WeNeedHistorians #TalkAboutHumanities

Trump doesn't care about the economic plight of the average American because he's too busy calling his broker His stunning 3,700 trades in just 3 months in firms like Palantir, Nvidia and Boeing should be another Watergate. Here's how to make it one My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/trum...

Teachers and schools are expected to fill every gap created by the evisceration of social services in this country, even as they're being fiscally strangled themselves. Schools are food banks, community clinics, de facto counseling ctrs..and then blamed when all those problems continue to worsen

Happy Friday, everyone! And only four more Fridays, teachers!

Check out the trailer for City Mark: A Rochester Icon. This documentary film explores the origin, evolution, and lasting impact of one of Rochester’s most recognizable symbols. It’s one of the many ways we’re celebrating 50 years of the City Mark in 2026. Learn more: CityofRochester.gov/CityMark50

Our kids' workshop is now SOLD OUT! but there is a waitlist and Rachel will be joining us for our Paths to Publication panel Saturday at 12pm!

Can't wait for NYS to gerrymander her district out of existence.

I love everything about this story. 🐦❤️ www.npr.org/2026/05/12/n...

Stay alert for HR 7661! This horrible book banning bill has been brewing in the House. Please call your reps to make sure they know about it, and to make sure it doesn't get snuck into any wild-ass omnibus bills. And thank you to @authorsabb.bsky.social for the graphic encapsulating the bill

Well, this seems like terrible planning. "In other words: three privately held, unmonitored, and unregulated services deliver real-time tallies to every major media outlet on Election Night."

A lot has happened, but not much has changed.

Happy birthday, John Brown!

this is the closest I've ever come to actually suggesting a "one neat trick" suggestion for anything, but I'm so serious here. the Virginia Constitution gives the legislature the power to set retirement ages for judges "REGARDLESS OF THE TERM TO WHICH ELECTED OR APPOINTED." make it 54 right now.

The Washington Post is just so profoundly embarrassing now

It’s staggering How swiftly states in the South can still move to stymie Black voters And how ready they were to do so

Feels like an easy platform plank for Dems to include.

If you deploy Chrome and aren't disabling Google's AI tools via GPO, congratulations! You just got a 4GB file on every one of your endpoints without your knowledge or consent. Thankfully CISA has done a lot of work for you in regards to properly configuring and securing Chrome on your endpoints.

This might be the most cowardly corporate response I've read in a long time.

This is for *your* kids, you understand. The tech elites send *their* kids to private, screen-free Montessori schools. They know exactly what they're doing.

the 90s mostly sucked because like every other decade of my lifetime it was post-Reagan and failed to measurably reverse the social disintegration which has led us to Today but on the other hand, hard to fault it since it did give us #shoegaze

Every city and state should read the writing on the wall and start to push *now* for legislation that prevents the use of force as deployed by police drones and robots.

If you're investing with Schwab, Fidelity or Vanguard, you should probably look elsewhere because the people running them think the Trump investigations of SPLC are legit. That's a warning sign that they are dumber than dirt. Get your money out before they invest it in raw milk futures or something

To be clear as day, this is, of course, absolutely intentional. It has happened with every Republican president of my lifetime (with the notable exception of HW Bush). It's what the GOP does. www.wsj.com/economy/u-s-...

Maybe enough states will just say, "Nah, not doing that bro..."

Today is a banner day for you to donate to the NAACP for the obvious reasons.

as a fucking teacher:

Learning to think and solve problems on your own is critical to elementary education. The vast majority of advanced, widely used AI models are developed and controlled by for-profit corporations. We can't allow their lust for profit to invade critical educational institutions. shorturl.at/Jmk47

Sure it's gonna be soggy, but Imagine RIT is always awesome, and 90 percent of the exhibits are indoors. Come check out the ocean of creativity and innovation on display at @rittigers.bsky.social today, 10 am to 5 pm!

Can't wait to give this to 6th graders and have them prove why this is mathematically false.

This is monstrous. Just profoundly shameful behavior by our government. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/21/w...

This Is Just To Say I have turned off the AI features that were in the update and which you were probably hoping to monetize Fuck you they were stupid so unnecessary and so annoying

SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “The faithless president depicts himself as Christ while he plunges the nation into wars of choice… Remember — While you pay more for everything, the First Family’s wealth is growing by billions. Because they’re crooks, and everybody knows it.”

This week I'm taking 50 kids from Rochester, NY to visit here and explore the multifaceted story of the American Revolution. I can't wait! 🇺🇲🇬🇧

A great reminder for teachers to slow down, plan thoughtfully, and teach explicitly. Depth over breadth every time.

Palantir put out a 22-point summary of their CEO's book The Technological Republic. It's pitched as a defence of the West, but if you read it through the VDA framework, verification, deliberation, accountability, what it's actually doing looks rather different. twitter-thread.com/t/2045574398...

In Jersey it doesn’t matter. You can wander into any diner on any Route across the entire state and you’ll get the exact same mirrored walls and etched glass dividers. Cake and pie counter. Bottomless coffee. Open 24 hours. You don’t even need to open a menu b/c you already know what’s on it.
