The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

As a middle school English teacher, I need you to understand that (for me at least) this is an issue that district admin + publishers create. Class/grade level sets are “too expensive.” But also “students need more exposure to the kinds of short form passages on testing.”
In American high schools, many teenagers are assigned few full books to read from beginning to end — often just one or two per year, according to researchers and thousands of responses to an informal reader survey by The New York Times. trib.al/gNp7kWK

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social weak answer to @danpfeiffer.bsky.social on his croney ass statements on Cuellar was unacceptable, and he should be grilled as speaker. I need the Pod Save folks to become more aggressive interviewers of our own party.

I want author’s to take one of those “gotcha” surveys they send to politicians, and the one question I want is, “Would you consider yourself earnest?” I don’t want to read books by people who would say “no.”

I hate to start trends, but I’ve learned two things in the last week: black coffee is good and Carly Rae Jepsen’s Emotion is a perfect pop album.
