I don't know if the Epstein vote is a one-off or not, but I've been thinkin of that very thin, translucent sticker film that comes when you order, say, a new monitor. It's devilishly hard to get the first little bit of the corner to separate but once you do, the entire thing pulls off very easily.

I just issued an executive order to develop a veteran food pantry network to provide food support for veterans, service members, and their families.
Regardless of what happens at the federal level, Minnesota remains committed to providing for those who protect our freedom.

All-Star Comics #22,1944, ask students to discuss - “Using textual and visual evidence, what do you notice?” When they are done, ask them to look again at the text if no one noticed that “under God” is missing Tie this in to the Cold War: why the pledge was changed in 1954. Comics = artifacts.

What am I worried about?
-Safety of 30k US troops in the Middle East
-cybersecurity (since CISA was recently gutted) & homeland security (as HLS focused on immigration)
-Economic strength (oil prices and tariffs)
-Allied assistance (we’ll need that now)
-Domestic intell (leadership at FBI/DNI)

And so the United States goes to war with Iran without so much as a by your leave to the American people.
No statement, other than on social media; no notice to Congress; no serious deliberation.
This is the stuff of autocrats. Disgraceful.

I’d argue that rigorous and academically challenging work builds a strong classroom rapport.

One of my bigger frustrations from this school year: the false dichotomy too many buy into that you can EITHER have positive rapport and relationships in the classroom OR rigorous, academic challenge.
Both/and. Both/and. Both/and.

Sometimes, before they thrive, THEY FIGHT.
I spend so much time convincing students that thinking is worthwhile and important. And that what they have to say is worthwhile and important.
Once they do it though?! Magical. Unstoppable. Undefeated.

In my experience kids thrive with teachers who challenge them. They want the challenge AND they want the support. Kids know that the teachers that care about them the most will expect the most for them and not let them off the hook for work that is less than what they are capable of.

I want someone with reach to point out that -- as great as some of the ideas to pad his speech with silly readings (a la Cruz w/Green Eggs and Ham) were -- he did the one thing that crushes them all: he spoke clearly and articulately about actual issues. No fluff. All substance and grit.

Btw, that means in the last 24 hours we've had:
-Cory Booker going for a record in holding the floor
-Ruben Gallego putting a hold on VA nominees over cuts to veterans care
-Adam Schiff putting a hold on Ed Martin's nomination for DC US attorney over... a lot
That's a genuinely good start.

It is not lost on me that this responsibility should not have fallen on a Black person. Black people shouldn’t keep having to put their bodies on the line to defend and protect this country. Seeing that no one else did, I’m grateful to Sen Booker for stepping up

If a Black man erasing a racist white man from the record books while defending human rights and fighting the segregationist regime trying to take over this country doesn’t inspire you, I’m not sure what will. A different future is possible. Thank you for giving us that hope, @Cory Booker ❤️

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important:
Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?

The most aggravating thing in all this (to me) is the sheer number of you, who believe Black people got high-paying jobs on account of their skin color and not their qualifications. That standards were lowered for us, when the truth is the bars are 10 times higher for us.
