Meet Link and Nova!

Orphaned in the wild in November and brought to the zoo by WDFW, these cougar cubs are exploring their outdoor habitat and getting plenty of play time.

‘Mortgage’ comes from two Old French words meaning “death” and “pledge.”

…seems like a bit much, right?

The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.

I mean, literally, the answer to this is "I am federally prohibited from telling you anything about my students without a subpoena or judicial warrant; if you have a subpoena or judicial warrant, please submit it to [Legal Officer/Office] to ensure it is in compliance with all relevant federal laws"
If you have students who are trans no you don’t. If you have students of color who may be affected by ICE no you don’t. If anyone asks you gender or racial the makeup of your class you don’t have to tell them.

Protect your class and protect your students by not complying in advance. They trust you.
1. Breaking News: Donald Trump has signed an executive order targeting trans youth and teachers in schools who teach for them.

It goes after "social transition" and threatens arrests.

I will go through line by line, as I have the last 3 nights.

This is what supporters of charter schools and vouchers don't tell you: because those schools aren't required to admit physically or learning disabled students, or ESL students, their "improved test scores" and whatnot are completely juiced—and it defunds the schools where disabled kids DO go.
WATCH: “Instead of giving money to private schools that don’t take kids like me, please help public schools get better and fund them.”

Concentration camps preceded extermination camps by several years. They began in Germany just as administratively, just as innocuously, as this.

It's important to understand the historical track we are on.

the correct response to being told to build a concentration camp is "absolutely the fuck not" regardless of the legality of the order

The Trump administration instructed organizations in other countries to stop disbursing HIV medications purchased with U.S. aid, even if the drugs have already been obtained and are sitting in local clinics.

Setting quotas of arrests per day. You know what happens when you have a quota to meet? Scoop them up and let the court sort it out. They will be grabbing anyone they can. No proof of citizenship on your person? Too bad. That’s an arrest. Look “illegal?” Explain it to the court someday.

We'll try and keep the political posts to a minimum. That said; the only way to defend our wildlife is to become active politically and go after the politicians going after our parks.

Ann Telnaes resigned after the Washington Post editorial page killed her cartoon. It’s worth a share.

Big Tech executives are bending the knee to Donald Trump and it’s no surprise why: Billionaires like Jeff Bezos like paying a lower tax rate than a public school teacher.

Right so after several recent incidents at work it seems like it's time to tap the sign again:

Never apologize to me when your cat crashes a video call.

Your cat is perfect.

I understand that the begging for attention is not charming to you but it is to me and I wish to see your cat.

Thank you.

It's an absolute tragedy that kids aren't taught in school about the 1892 New Orleans General Strike where 30,000 Black and white workers went out on strike together and refused to turn on one another despite appeals to racial hatred by the press and the bosses.

Most of the time I feel like Luke Skywalker in the trash compactor with the walls closing in but Han, Leia and Chewy are like, "Darth Vader actually has some good points if you listen to him" and C3PO and R2D2 aren't answering because they're vaping and listening to a Joe Rogan podcast about crypto.
