We have this poster up in our house and I look at it every day and it immediately comes to mind. The expression. syracuseculturalworkers.com/products/pos...

And this is why MA and ME celebrate Patriots Day in April. Now better known as Marathon Monday #HATM

Fantastic read.

There was a gunman in my school in 1990. Before Columbine. And it was a shock that reverberated. Now when we talk about gunman in schools, it’s just another weekday.

Battle Doomscrolling with 5 small pleasures in life. 1. The sound of my daughters’ laughter 2. The first sip of morning coffee 3. Hearing the first drops of rain hit the pavement 4. Clean sheets 5. Small love notes from my husband.

Bernie is right. Health care should be based on medical science. I’m glad I found out I needed a measles vaccine this summer. And it’s right to provide shingles shots to seniors and vaccines for kids. Let’s focus on health care costs instead of upending the CDC. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/30/o...

Three Scottish brothers have set a world record for the fastest unsupported row across the Pacific Ocean.

Yes. Yes. Yes. The next right thing.

Yes. It’s time.

The greatest provocation of the mob during what would become the Boston Massacre was when the British troops loaded their weapons in front of the crowd. That’s when the crowd surged.

Each year, the federal government spends roughly $50 per student on STEM education. It spends 5 cents per student per year on civic education.

This will help you find a public radio or television station that stands to lose 50 percent or more of its revenue:

This is brilliant. I had never thought about it like this before. It’s the same horrific irony as regulating access to voting while deregulating access to guns. And it’s all related.

The Shadow Docket is a rubber stamp.

Including funding for civics education.

It shouldn't get lost that just today, Senate Republicans have voted to close nursing homes, close rural hospitals, and cut food stamp benefits for children and veterans.

REALLY hard to be a civics teacher right now.

Worth your time.

History happens to everyone.

He’s being to careful, speaking to avoid sound bites. But sound bites are EXACTLY what we need right now.

We need to flood the zone with more stories like this.

I’m old enough to remember when he promised he wouldn’t do this.

Hallelujah

Look beyond Trump and Musk's public blowout to the bigger problem: the infiltration of Big Money in our politics. It has corrupted our democracy — creating a vicious cycle that funnels more wealth and power to those at the top while drowning out the needs of regular Americans.

Same.

This happened at my school today!

“BRING HIM HOME” 🔥

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

Hell Yes. We will!

Batshit

They are asking for donations to fund National History Day. They need 136 k by June. Donate here: nhd.org/en/get-invol...

And history

This will be devastating to our arts.

How’s that for irony?

"An emergency rally has been called for 5:30 p.m. Wednesday at Powder House Square in Somerville to protest a Tufts international graduate student being taken into custody Tuesday by federal authorities." www.cambridgeday.com/2025/03/26/p...

Not to put too fine a point on it, but this scandal is what happens when you promote utterly unqualified people to the very top positions. #signalgate

One thing that can get lost in all this is that Jeff Goldberg knows much, much more about national security than the principals who were on that text chain.

100% this. It’s a constant use of attention and brain power.

I’m old enough to remember when this kind of action would result in an embarrassed apology and resignation.

Same.

It’s hard to even know what to say about what’s happening in our country: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

They may have fired half of the Department of Education tonight, but every public school teacher will be dedicated to teaching our students tomorrow. Today and every day, we will fight for your kids and our schools, because the right to education is the cornerstone of our society.

We are playing the long game here. Public schools take children and transform them into productive citizens, in thirteen years.

Thanks to Timothy Snyder for calmly enumerating the problems with the ambush at the Oval Office yesterday.
