I was told I need to be careful expressing my opinions outside of school because I’m a teacher.
To that I say, they would love to suppress teachers as much as they would love to control education.
I don’t bring my politics into the classroom, but I damn well won’t stay silent after school.

🚨 There’s a lot of horrific news out of Washington right now—but you might have missed this: Senate Republicans just introduced a plan to sell off 120 million acres of our public lands.
Let me break down what’s in the bill and why it’s a full-scale land grab. 🧵

Grab your coffee/tea & read this!
@prisonculture.bsky.social and I have been encouraging people to read chapter six of our book, Let This Radicalize You, which deals with the question of "violence" in social movements. We have decided to share the chapter publicly, to offer some context and grounding for the current conversation.
Protest, Power, and the Violence Debate

You should investigate and report on why the London, KY tornado was on the ground well before a warning was issued, and how the NWS office nearby used to be staffed 24 hours but have recently been hit by DOGE cuts.

The full quote from RFK, Jr. is truly disgusting and this is 100% him calling for institutionalization of autistic people. This is horrifying.

I just watched the Rachel @maddow.msnbc.com
Interview with Daniel Berulis and I have never seen anything so compelling, brave & terrifying in my life.
I'm afraid for this man, but so blown away by his courage.
Rachel lays out the story so clearly. We have traitors in the government.
