Friends - I am participating in a charity ride to end Alzheimer’s this August. My goal is to raise at least $500. If you would like to help by donating, I’d sure appreciate your help. Thanks for considering! Here is the link:

For some students, giving the right answer can be easy. But expressing how you got there? Much more challenging.

Get kids to map out their thinking process with these activities! 🗺️

You forgot the following: THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.
The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

Saw a post on BlueSky the other day that said every vote for a republican is a vote for another school shooting.

Can’t get that out of my head.

More than ever, Americans must remain grounded in the founding principles of our republic. I'm proud to be among those from across the political spectrum supporting the @weholdtruths.bsky.social to remind us of the values we hold in common, and to help make the Constitution accessible to everyone.

I cannot emphasize enough how true & real this is.

In almost anywhere on the political spectrum you ID with or major issue, there’s probably a bot/troll operation to encourage your rage and vitriol.

And how/where that rage gets directed, esp understandable rage, is what they are out to influence.
People on this app get really angry every time I point out that social media manipulation is a real phenomenon that we are all stewing in and that’s having real world consequences and I’m sure part of that is engagement farmers who do that manipulation not liking people talking about it

“The toxic-empathy rhetorical framework, built for producing peace of mind for conservative debaters, threatens to render Christians insensitive to moral demands of Christianity that run contrary to conservative preferences,” Elizabeth Bruenig writes:
The Conservative Attack on Empathy
Sometimes emotions are the voice of one’s conscience, and shouldn’t be ignored.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

I am in my mattress with my cash because this global crypto crime ring will break democratic institutions, steal whatever isn’t nailed down and buy all the water we will be working in the mines to buy after the company Apple Store takes its credits for the air we breathe.

They’ll add first-degree murder later. They need a grand jury indictment before they can charge him with that.
He faces charges of second-degree murder in the deaths of Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, and second-degree attempted murder charges in the shootings of state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette.
