[Naomi Klein @NaomiAKlein]

This is extraordinary. A people's emergency was declared from below and the politicians were forced to follow. Huge congrats to everyone who was part of this.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

This is a truly staggering fact: Wall Street bonuses totaled $27.5 billion last year, which is more 3 times the combined annual earnings of *all* American workers employed full-time at the federal minimum wage.

We can, and must, raise the minimum wage and tax the rich.

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

The teacher plan I released this week would give the average teacher a $13,500 raise and ensure they’re paid their value. When we invest in our nation’s teachers, we’re investing in our children’s future. Find out more about our plan at https://t.co/zbEdYxjhpk.

[UW–Madison @UWMadison]

Nationwide, more than 9.6 million children live in families with annual incomes below the poverty line. That’s 13 percent of children.

Timothy Smeeding of @IRP_UW, @UWLaFollette, and other researchers have a plan to halve that in the next 10 years.

[NEA @NEAToday]

14 million students are in schools with police but no counselor, nurse, psychologist, or social worker.

This is why educators are #RedforEd, to get resources our students desperately need. This is why we must do our part for racial and social justice.

Social-emotional skills are needed all day long — so educators should be intentional about seizing opportunities to teach the skills all day long, too. More from @UKnowHGSE. https://t.co/56tkcLvA8g

[Save the WI Idea @TheWiscIdea]

The backbone of the Idea almost went away when Scott Walker tried to change to the university’s mission.

The change struck at the heart of the state’s identity. The Idea-with its core tenets is what makes Wisconsin, Wisconsin.

The great thing about following some random space image bots is that you sort of forget about them and then one day you’re just scrolling and: BOOM. SPACE.

Cynthia Brown was a 16 girl when she killed a 43 year-old man forcing her to have sex.
The Tennessee Supreme Court ordered she must serve 51 years.
THIS IS A TRAVESTY OF JUSTICE.
Folks, you need to flood Gov. @BillHaslam’s twitter feed and demand he do something about this.

[Brila @brilaphilo]

Happy #WorldPhilosophyDay to our amazing young philosophers! To you who have the courage to think for yourselves with others. To you who have the humility to doubt and confront the world’s complexities. To you with whom we have the honour to think & grow! #gratitude #P4C

[Existential Comics (find me on bluesky) @existentialcoms]

What philosophers dreamed of accomplishing:
500 BC: understanding everything
300: understanding virtue.
1100: understanding God.
1700: understanding even a single thing.
1950: understanding just how say something that makes sense.
2018: I don't know, to get my article published?

[London Review of Books @LRB]

The fact that we now eat species not long ago referred to as ‘trash fish’ is only the most visible symptom of a dying ocean. Some studies project the loss of all wild seafood within three decades.
