Been thinking how the training environment has been adapted to support Ellie. However, I've been wondering if the judges have been briefed on how to critique her dancing, especially if negative, or how to lessen the stress of announcing and/or judging her in the dance-off #strictly #ItTakesTwo

Just watched the entire Jimmy Kimmel monologue with my students and I must say, that is just the best First Amendment teaching video I've ever had. Even regardless of how you think he did - I think he hit every right note - he hit every critical point that they need to understand.

A point that needs to be made explicitly: Jimmy Kimmel faced down Donald Trump and won. Period.
“Trump can talk tough, puff out his chest and act like he’s an unstoppable force. But he’s not. Money talks. The masses talk, and they matter.”

Kimmel won, proving the people have power. And they're not on Trump's side. | Opinion
Regarding Jimmy Kimmel's brief suspension, I haven't seen enough people stating the obvious: The comedian won. Bigly. Donald Trump lost. Also bigly.

Hundreds showed up armed downtown because they heard on Facebook that "Antifa buses" were coming.
No buses came so they said Antifa "retreated."
