Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.

I’m at Expanding the Circle: Mapping & Engaging Unconventional Stakeholders with Christy Jersin Woods at #OpenEd25. Faculty and administrators are often the first people think to partner with, but there are lots of other folks who can help.

If you and your children are not ready for a particular book, that is okay. It is not okay to limit the access to books, stories, and experiences for other families. Every book is not for everyone, but every book is for someone.

Why Did These Authors Have Their School Visit Canceled? They Were Talking About Their Book About Book Bans.
Country Club Elementary School in California's Bay Area canceled an author visit moments before it began. Why? It covered book bans.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Sara Parme and Heather Tompkins asked 21 institutions why they chose their textbook model. Many institutions said affordability for students and day one access were top priorities, yet student preferences were at the bottom of the list of considerations. #OpenEd25

Listening to adrienne maree brown at #OpenEd25 talk about how conflict is a part of change and a skill that helps us fight for what we need: “One of the best things we can do to survive these times is to hone that skill.”

Have you ever wondered if government leaders are writing things with ChatGPT?
Through records requests, I obtained thousands of pages of chat histories from city officials in Washington.
The logs show widespread use of AI — with little transparency:

It’s probably a shame Jane Austen (and other authors whose works are now in the public domain) didn’t think to do this. Though the definitely very real and not at all robot produced foreword from Jane herself did make me giggle a lot. #LibraryLife #InfoLitFail #BookSky
