"Soupified" was *right there*, NYT, come on.
“Stupefied” is the word we would use to describe how we all felt upon shoveling a spoonful of this soup into our mouths. Such simple, economical ingredients yield silky, luxurious results. nyti.ms/3LbkQgI

Just a reminder that it is never a bad time to apologize to a student when you, a teacher, make a mistake.

Reposting because this is probably a good example of "if your community is next (and it is...)" planning steps: does your school have parent volunteers who have already cleared background checks to ride buses OR do you need to get their paperwork going now, to be ready?
Local parents groups asking if adults can ride school buses to help protect children from ICE after a special ed bus got stopped this morning. Like a Dirty Harry movie except the villain in the federal government.

This whole list is good but this is the key: they are coming to your town too, the time to organize is now not once they touch down.
5. Start getting your own community ready.
Meet your neighbors. Form Signal groups. Distribute whistles and organize trainings on how to be a legal observer. (There's probably an organization close to you that does stuff like this.)

The fact that my second thought was "I wonder what the traffic on Palymorket (I don't want term searchers...) is for this" is a sign that we're going to be set at like thirty seconds to midnight.
The Security Board of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists (SASB) is a group of experts in nuclear risk, climate change, and disruptive technologies.
In 2025, SASB set the Doomsday Clock time to 89 secs to midnight.
On Jan 27th, they will reveal the 2026 Clock time. Hope we make it to then. 🕚
