The president has covered the Oval Office in gold, is planning a massive military parade for his birthday, and is now accepting $400,000,000 luxury planes from foreign powers as personal presents.

What the fuck are we doing here?

BREAKING: In a 5-4 vote, the Supreme Court allows Trump to use the Alien Enemies Act for deportations. Sotomayor, who dissented, warns “the Court should not reward the Government’s efforts to erode the rule of law.”

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

Facts are Facts.

The U.S. Dept of Ed does not and legally cannot “control schools.”

States already do that.

Shutting the U.S. Dept of Ed means ripping $$$ from your local schools. Lowering opportunity for students. Oh, and maybe raising your local taxes.

Fight myths with facts.

For a couple of years I ran #GlobalSPED Chat on the other place. I'd just returned from mentoring teachers in #Bangladesh and I wanted to stay in touch with them.

It turned into a hub for special ed and new teachers. I'd do these "mentor teacher" tips that eventually turned into my blog for PSU.

Octavia Butler being a time traveler or seer, will forever be a hill I'm willing to die on, because there's just no way. Parable of The Sower was published in 1993. Look at this date. #BlackBookSky #BookSky
