Julia is doing incredible work. I am a @motherjones.com sustainer because I know what it takes to produce work like this

Trump is seeking to use executive authority to remake American schools in a more conservative mold. But it's far from clear whether his executive orders will make much difference in the classroom. One advocate called them "bluster." www.chalkbeat.org/2025/02/03/t...

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget.

Really think about how twisted this all is.

Happy Black History Month.

At a time when history is being erased, book bans silence voices, and indie bookstores like ours are fighting to survive, we remain committed to uplifting marginalized voices.

Before you go, a poem for reflection:

#EduSky in the DMV share your teaching story or invite us to your classroom this week and throughout the year of purpose.

if you work at OSHA or the Department of Labor and wanna share a tip about what’s happening with a friendly labor reporter, I will protect your privacy and am ALL ears

I’m on Signal (kimkelly.666) and you can email me securely at kimkelly@protonmail.com‬

Dems can:

-oppose all Trump nominees until this EO is withdrawn
-deny unanimous consent to slow senate proceedings
-vote no on all cloture
-force quorum calls at every chance

It’s a constitutional crisis. There is absolutely no reason the Senate should be connecting business as usual.

This is insanity. If you're researching Tay Sachs Disease or Sickle Cell or hypertension understanding the makeup of your sample--age, gender, ethnicity--is central and necessary.
