I like how over the years and given political shifts, my global angst has increased yet my workload remains absolutely unhinged. 🫠🫠🫠

Increasingly concerned with the withholding of information in our country through the destruction of public media, restrictions of funding to education, and increasing privatization of research. Thinking a lot about how this withholding impacts the ideologies we have access to and enact.

Avery went on a whole rant about the importance of mentorship and “building strong relationships” in life (literally her words as she emphatically waves her hands around while she makes her argument). She unpacked her ideas around “over resourced” ppl & mentorship as a buffer for lack of resources.

Today Avery told me that in her friend group everyone thinks I’m the “cool mom” but she said “don’t worry, I dispel that myth because you are so cringe sometimes and also you are the strictest mom in the group as well.”

We really don't spend enough time just stating that Trump hates good things.
Green infrastructure and biking are among the best things in cities and only retrograde losers think otherwise.

NEW: U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has ordered officials to stop action on all Biden-era discretionary grants to build bike lanes and other "green infrastructure" so the agency can review the project for possible removal.

this one is breaking my heart. it’s so cruel and meaningless
“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”
Yesterday many thousands of federal employees were terminated. This is a Reddit thread for federal employees that got laid off.

There are a whole lot of people right now who want collective punishment more than they want a good society.
Somehow, they expect they will personally be spared. And they’re wrong.

Grateful for educators who are moving quickly to protect & preserve essential resources that support teaching & learning.
The educator in me is also not surprised. We are savvy because we are so used to doing more with less.

Hearing from a govt contractor that Dept of Education is terminating What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) contracts.
WWC is a website that rigorously evaluates education policies, programs, and products to determine what's effective and not. It's an invaluable tool for school, district, state leaders
