Okay, I'll say it: Tonight has been an absolute DRUBBING for Texas book banners. Texas voters stood up and said clearly that they're sick of trustees demonizing teachers. They rejected the absurd policing of libraries & books that has plagued our state for years.
And here’s how my tracker looks right now. That’s a lot of green!

I had the literal best time at #TRLSummit2025 today! I felt affirmed in things that I'm doing, challenged in my thinking, pushed to continue to grow, and rejuvenated by my teammates and the ridiculously brilliant and inspiring panelists. This is urgent work, so let's go!

Want a good series that isn’t written by a transphobe?

Try Percy Jackson by Rick Riordan

The Supernatural Investigations series by B.B Alston

Shadowshaper & the sequels by Daniel José Older

They’re all fabulous
I think it’s fine to bully people for reading Harry Potter in 2025 actually

If you want to read your old Harry Potter books, you should do it in secret and shamefully - you know, in the way that J.K. Rowling wants to force trans people to live.

I hope being able to publicly say the r word again is worth it.

I heard this too. It's just still too much for me to hope for any sort of real action or vocal pushback.
Heard Ron Johnson - extremely Trumpy senator - on NPR this morning and even he couldn't defend the tariffs. The most generous thing he could bring himself to say was "I have concerns" and "we'll see what happens." You can bet that privately Republicans are freaking out.

Madison Square Garden banned a fan for life over a t-shirt he made criticizing Knicks owner James Dolan — even though he didn't wear the shirt to the venue. MSG won't say how they identified the fan, who suspects facial recognition played a part.

Directing REVENGE and THE SUBSTANCE as your first two films is probably the coolest thing any Director has ever done.

So much of this is illegal. We can fight back. Let’s go educators, parents and decent humans. We have been fighting and we will keep fighting.
SCOOP: Now that Linda McMahon is confirmed/sworn in as secretary, Trump will be imminently issuing an executive order eliminating the Department of Education.

I’ve obtained a draft of an email that McMahon will be sending to staff re: the EO and the department’s “final mission”.

Here is a portion:

Either transgender Americans are important enough to warrant year after year of breathless coverage questioning their healthcare and existence, or they're so insignificant that destroying their rights is the "least consequential" action of a presidency. www.readtpa.com/p/not-exactl...

Has he even said thank you to Vermont since he arrived?
Wow: JD Vance is apparently skiing in Vermont this weekend and the locals aren’t having it. Thousands have lined the streets in protest.

I think a massive opportunity for children with additional needs would be to scrap the Friday spelling test. I cannot emphasise the amount of anticipatory anxiety and stress this can cause our children who (in a lot of cases) don’t benefit from it. Often they have memory difficulties. #EdChatIE

Cool, cool, cool, cool.
Hearing from a govt contractor that Dept of Education is terminating What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) contracts.
WWC is a website that rigorously evaluates education policies, programs, and products to determine what's effective and not. It's an invaluable tool for school, district, state leaders
