A great deal of trouble we face now is that those in power assume everyone working for the public good has to be part of a grift because *they literally cannot conceive of a public good*. They are broken, deranged people, almost to a one. I'm struggling with the response to this.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns.

100% of his salary is paid by WA state.

Elon fired him. Share his story.

In 1999, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., then an environmental lawyer, was named by Time magazine as a “hero of the planet” for his pioneering work to clean up America’s waterways. On his second day as secretary of the DHHS, he ended HHS funding for health and climate change.

I made this video about what is really going on with these “fentanyl exposure” stories because I got tired of explaining the same thing over and over: www.youtube.com/watch?v=215h...

A street artist in DC is putting up these posters all over the city. I’d love to get one.

I love this time of year when students reflect on what they’ve learned (usually skills not content) and they give shout outs to peers and instructional team members (importance of community and representation). Informal polls might get you more of this than standard end of course evals. #AcademicSky

A lot of academics really underestimate how inaccessible most research is for busy classroom teachers.

If I started a new education research journal, there would be a mandatory half page 'key message to teachers' box at the outset of each paper.

The Simple Classroom

"Coach Harvard, your classroom isn't necessarily easy, but it's simple."

Why did I see that as a wonderful compliment? What is the simple classroom?

Never forget this: The GOP’s nonsensical culture war is meant to distract you from corporate corruption, worker oppression, and staggering wealth inequality.

Trump's 2017 tax scam will save top earners more than $60,000 on their taxes next year.

Meanwhile, the bottom 60% of Americans will see only a $500 savings.

This is why we called the Trump tax law a giveaway to the super-rich.

Because that’s exactly what it was.

150 billionaire families spent $1.9B on the 2024 election through October.

It's a huge amount of money — but it represents just 0.07% of their overall wealth.

It essentially costs them nothing to drown our democracy in cash.

We must get big money out of our politics.

It would be useful if, when you followed everyone on a starter pack here, there was some memory of that in your account (starter packs you've followed), ideally with a "fresh" indicator if there have been changes or additions since the follow.
