Not sure if this is a thing on Bluesky but with prime day I figure it's worth sharing Amazon wishlist to #clearthelist www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

Trump supporters attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 and Trump didn't call in the National Guard.

This.... just this. 😢

Heading to DC to watch the @washingtonspirit.com play, not for the 1st time, but this time there's no pride/excitement at being in nations Capitol. Excitement for the game yes but for once not for the surroundings. In the big picture, not very consequential but another thing this regime has taken.

100% this! I live in an area where the economy is driven by fed jobs, it's amazing how many people around support him & his actions. They really don't know how bad it's gonna get for our area real quick. Once they wake up I wonder how many will say, 'I didn't think the leopard would eat my face.'

Any other educators finding it beyond exhausting to spend all day trying to smile & ignore what's going on around them, for the sake of the kids in class, only 2 come home to your own family & just completely melt down? Or find yourself terrified when certain students are absent? Am I alone here?

Someone in my daily interactions, a diehard trumper to the point of planning a family vacation at the Trump winery/having a huge inauguration party to celebrate, has verbally expressed "concern " over actions occurring as they are now personally impacted. To soon for this?

Any lawyers want to weigh in on what educators can do if/ when ICE comes to schools for students now that schools are not protected ? Hoping tags will get someone to respond @joycewhitevance.bsky.social @meiselasb.bsky.social @sethabramson.bsky.social @harrylitman.bsky.social @marcelias.bsky.social

My middle school aged child was discussing where she wants to live when she grows up with me, sort of offhandedly she said, "not California because they have a lot of school shootings." What are we doing that this is even in the mix of conversation over future homes? Just what the actual f*ck. 😔

Beautiful

Fair winds and following seas Mr. President. I'm kinda glad he won't have to see what becomes of the US. Sending prayers for his family and friends. www.npr.org/2024/12/29/1...

Hey companies, be more like Costco and less like Walmart please and thank you.

How much popcorn is too much for watching this go down? Hell I'm on break for another week, might need a mimosa while I head over to the dark place to catch up on this. 🤣

As my gen z children would say, whomp whomp. He's shown his disdain for unions for years through his actions yet these people believed his words versus actions. Seems like a case of getting what you asked for as we enter the find out stage of fafo. 🤷‍♀️ meidasnews.com/news/union-w...

Lee Jae-myung, Leader of South Korea's Democratic Party, live-streamed himself scaling the walls of the National Assembly to bypass military barricades so that he could vote to overturn the President's martial law.

Got my flu and covid booster while vaccines are still available. Being proactive before worm brain takes over HHS.

Heard more than once in my classroom today, "this is the best school day ever." My heart needed that! Even better I'm officially now on Thanksgiving break. Time to spend time with my family, eat too much, and recharge.

Somehow mother/teen daughter drama makes things weirdly more bearable in this current political hellscape as it's so normal & conversely unbearable as I worry about her future. Silver lining is living in a state that enshrined her rights into constitution & where education matters. #Tuesdaythoughts
