Cut what it takes for schools to be successful, then use declining test scores as a rationale to cut even more. It's a recipe for disaster. #SupportPublicSchools @mrobmsu.bsky.social

Somewhere there’s a shark being jumped…
Despite seeing several people I totally trust say this was real I still felt I had to verify it with my own eyes. And having done so I still can't believe it's real.

Imagine the biggest problem in your life being about which bathroom a total stranger uses.
Imagine pretending random people you'll never meet are somehow victimizing you with their existence.
Imagine being that hard up for troubles that you have to invent them just so you can play the victim.

The People for Public Education rally at the State Capitol in Lansing was such a great event! And always so much fun to share the stage with my fellow State Board of Education colleague, Dr. Pamela Pugh!

I ran for the SBE because I was sick and tired of the attacks on public education—attacks on our children, our teachers, and our schools.

Look, I’ve never bought in to the whole “American exceptionalism” thing, but if we’re so exceptional we should be able to get an extrajudicially extradited prisoner back from El Salvador, and maybe try him for the crimes he supposedly committed in court, like our laws require.

This administration is eliminating the Department of Education, cutting school lunch programs, and extraditing immigrants to brutal prisons in foreign countries.
A democracy is judged by how it treats children and prisoners—the most vulnerable among us.

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act.
Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes?
Staffer: a DL and birth certificate.
Me: The documents don’t match
Staffer: Then a marriage certificate.
Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too?
Staffer: No

The Camp of the Saints -- the racist dystopian fantasy about zombie-like dark-skinned migrants wiping out Western civilization -- is also sitting there on Naval Academy bookshelves.
