Trump doesn’t know how to make our lives better. He doesn’t care. He couldn’t guess how to dignify working people anywhere in the world. And if he could, I wouldn’t trust him to deliver effectively.

Why are we debating making moral exceptions for spineless and fickle wanna-be dictators?

Subtract 3 from both. Then do 100-41 by adding up — I need 50 and 9 to get from 41 to 100

I welcome the Governor’s 30-day amendment to authorize the closure of up to five state prisons over the next year and look forward to passing bills like Treatment Not Jail so that our criminal justice system actually works towards repair, and not toward an unjust cycle of systemic violence.

8 Years by Colour Revolt (they aren’t British I promise)

I’m sure my year of habits will have its surprises. But to student teach & then work as a certified math teacher, spend a year with my partner/cat/comrades, and avoid a quarter-life crisis, I must go “back to basics.” Eat, rest, game, hike, swim, drink & be merry, and lean on all my people 💙

In my year of people, I knew I’d be in NY public schools for the first time, spend a whole year organizing w/ @mhvdsa.bsky.social, and invest time in my friends/comrades. Surprise! I also managed @sarahana.bsky.social ‘s primary & general elections, working with 300 vols + training >12 field leads.

Makes math both more casual & gives people access to what they’ve seen as powerful. Knowledgeable teachers have been doling out info on whiteboards — so students writing their ideas there helps level that weird gap.

Mistakes, collaboration, and power. When math is about ‘getting things right’, mistakes are scary. When they’re impermanent, it’s easier. Groups can think together, pick up ideas from others (knowl. is mobile), easier. & power — anyone can put shit on the wall where it’s most powerful + visible!

The most known example is having students do math at whiteboards >> worksheets or notebooks. I also plug making knowledge mobile — when asked Q’s, teachers shouldn’t be the only source of knowledge. Directing students to each other is a fun teacher move and makes us not the barrier to knowing shit

Building Thinking Classrooms by Peter Liljedahl changed my life! It imagines math classrooms that center students doing math, and concretized lots of little thoughts and tricks I’d picked up about anti-colonial, inquiry-based, and social pedagogy
