It’s infuriating and so deeply American
Every decade, we hear "the kids can't read or write!"
Interventions that don't work are proposed. Those that do work are ignored: reducing class sizes, making kids & families feel safe at school and welcome, becoming a community resource.
When their expensive reform fails, they yell at us again.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members.
At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.

Don't you love it when people prove your point for you?
The right uses oppressive strategies to continually disenfranchise Americans, grasping power with white knuckles, because they know the majority of Americans are not on their side.

Johnson: "If they had no filibuster, they would pack the SCOTUS. You'd go from 9 to 17 or however many liberals they could pack. You would make DC & Puerto Rico into states, which would give 4 additional Democrat senators & make us a permanent minority. You'd see massive restrictions of 2A rights"

I genuinely love when my students receive some of my feedback and respond like, "Wow, that's a really good idea, actually!"
Why, thank you. It's almost like I've dedicated my adult life to learning, writing, thinking, and creating work about this subject.

Classic big tech. It’s not enough to destroy the planet, everyone else has to subsidize it too.
37 states have passed legislation specifically granting sales tax exemptions for data centers.
Among the beneficiaries of these exemptions are Amazon, Meta and Google, all companies worth over $1 trillion.

Congress Passes Blank Bill For Trump To Write Whatever Law He Wants
WASHINGTON—After weeks of eliminating what many lawmakers called “frivolous” and “unnecessary” provisions, Congress reportedly passed a blank bill Thursday in which President Donald Trump can simply write whatever law he wants. “Today we are sending to the president’s desk 200 completely clean sheets of paper that are hereby codified such that anything he chooses to […]
