I’ve been really impressed with my classes during the Tulsa Race Massacre lessons. They are able to articulate their thoughts and feelings about TRM better than many adults. They ask thoughtful and poignant questions. Overall they give me hope for the future. 💙 @TulsaSchools

No offense but I think we underestimate how many of our current problems, both cultural and political, are downstream of the decline in reading, the decline in learning and the loss of interest in the humanities.

There’s nothing impressive about a concentration camp.

I don’t think anyone realizes how impressive Alligator Alcatraz is. The State of Florida built this 3,000 bed federal prison in eight days. The director tells me it could have been done in 72 hours were it not for some regulatory hold-ups. Now all the state needs is DOJ approval to deputize the National Guard as Deportation judges and this will become the most efficient deportation center in American history. 🇺🇸👊🏼

This is how I still teach writing to my 5th graders. They hate writing drafts at first, but then they get used to it. It makes their final drafts so much better. They also make less mistakes over time.

[Lemon Drop Thot🍸🍋 @LuDawl]

BRAINSTORM, outline, rough draft to swap with your classmates, THEN the teacher checked it and THEN it was time for the final draft. the kids are not obtaining any of these critical skills. also the final draft HAD to be in script for certain classes/grades.

More time will be spent on the cancer reveal of Joe Biden, who is retired and currently not our president, than on trump’s undeniable dementia

I always thought it was funny that "it's rude to talk about politics" is such a firm belief among so many people because I didn't grow up thinking this way at all (Black).

As someone who DOESN'T live in a swing state, I'm gonna say this with my full chest:

I'm tired of 7 fucking states deciding the fate of 50 states.

LoriLei Chavez is the newly announced 2025 New Mexico Teacher of the Year.

She is the first Native American educator to be given this recognition since it was first started in the 1960’s — and is proudly from Kewa Pueblo.

I’d say it’s pretty important to go vote if they’re out here burning ballot boxes

[David James 🍩 @funkentechno]

I get the tubi love - free is free - but more people need to know about Kanopy. same kind of collection, loads of criterion stuff, esoteric new movies, old hidden gems, tons of random treasure.. and it's free with zero ads.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Don't wait – check your state's voter registration deadline today and make sure you're registered and ready to vote. And then share this with your friends and family so everyone's ready to vote early or by Election Day. https://t.co/jKW0RyeBXC

You never hear NO ONE telling white folks not to vote.

[Boze Herrington, Library Owl 😴🧙‍♀️ @SketchesbyBoze]

The prospect of students using AI to write essays should alarm everyone. The purpose of education isn’t to pass exams, it’s to become someone who can read deeply, who can communicate, who can think. We mustn’t farm out our minds to machines.

[chris evans @notcapnamerica]

Not hashtags. Not rhetoric. Not stunts. Lauren Underwood is a young legislator who actually gets work done in Congress.

[Uche Perkins, Sr. @JustAFamilyMan_]

I know I joke about this a lot, but Civics really needs to be a mandatory course in high school. There are a lot of Americans who do not understand basic concepts of our government which is completely unacceptable.

Dear Dems.

Catastrophic.

Do y’all truly understand the financial impact of eliminating the Department of Education?

[Akela Leach @AkelaLeach]

Yikes. Just pay teachers more!

An affordable-housing complex specially for teachers has opened on the grounds of a California elementary school, in what is “being held up as a model for the rest of the state”
