Irving Finkel - https://t.co/u3XPeyT3mC via @YouTube There is no better teacher. Every student you show this to will love it. He is so interested in this, that no one listening and watching him can help but find it interesting too. Every teacher can and should teach, from time to time, what they LOVE to talk about. This is one of secrets of "relationship" with your students. And when you ask them to teach you and each other what they love....that's the genuine Masters Degree in Education that doesn't need a diploma. The extraordinary Irving Finkel. @teacher2teacher @DrBradJohnson @XQAmerica

@Pontifex @clicktopray_en Before there is new life, there is love. And at the end, there is the majesty and peace of the afterlife. Joy and sorrow are natural. And, if you are from Chicago, there is also SPORTS. And we now have the coolest Pope in the history of the world.

@DocWashburn @MITeacher1993 @teacher2teacher @educationweek @edutopia @XQAmerica @CCSDK12 I stand corrected. Thank you. All five are important.

For your classroom. If you are not a teacher, please send this to one you know. America is at an inflection point. The transfer of Knowledge is the most powerful force we have.

Sally Field memorized the First Amendment as a child. The Oscar winner says she now understands "it like never before," stressing that "this fragile thing called democracy needs to be protected."

@DailyEpiphanyR @Pontifex There is no epiphany in your post Rebecca. Your words, "people like you"....are a sure sign you are not being who you claim you are. IMHO.

[Steven Zapiler @StevenZap]

What a beautiful question!

When you speak you can experience simply stating words. Another possibility is that when you speak the same words you can chose to experience that you are declaring and intending, authentically, those same words to be a statement of who you are, as in, who you are being/choosing to be. Like when you said, at age 5, that you are a ships captain, as you played with a toy ship. This is why some people call this aspect of speech, an essential aspect of Being Human. (And it is why there is a kind of magic in the experience of acting.)

This aspect of the power of speech transforms your experience from merely saying words, to seeing the world, and yourSELF differently.

Prayer is a special kind of speech, and when understood from this point of view, it has a genuine effect of transforming your experience of yourself, and others, and the world.

When the Pope is speaking, he is creating something and sharing it with an intention to make a difference. And, lo and behold, it can.

There is a choice being made by you when you speak with this knowledge in mind, and if your choice is to experience "the Good News" you will receive it.

@tribelaw Maybe you could draft an Order for the Chief Justice to consider.

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

There is no world in which this is okay.  

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito did not recuse himself from cases involving Trump’s Treasury Department while his own son was secretly working there as a political appointee and attorney. 

His son's employment was hidden so thoroughly that his name appears nowhere on the Treasury Department website, he has no public resume, and his bar listings are outdated. 

If Alito had recused himself, the secret would have come out. He didn’t recuse himself. 

This is a clear conflict of interest, and the American people deserved to know about it. 

The federal recusal standard is clear: a justice must step aside in any case where there is a reasonable basis to question whether he or she can be impartial. A justice ruling on cases involving the department where his son works fails that test. The Treasury Department sits at the center of some of the biggest legal fights of this administration, and challenges to Trump’s $1.776 billion January 6 slush fund could be headed to the Court next. 

The Supreme Court is the only court in America with no binding code of conduct. That is completely unacceptable, and it has to change NOW. 

Congress controls the Power of the Purse, and therefore the Court’s funding. If the Court will not adopt a binding code of conduct with real recusal review on their own, I support withholding their funding until they do.

@isabellRoseXoXo Thats the opposite of "awkwardness". The body language gives it away:-)

[Steven Zapiler @StevenZap]

In the details of public hearings we have access to, there are certain questions (and certain questioners) that are unusually relevant and which clearly point the way to important facts. And of the the questioners that are amongst the very best, this member of Congress, Mr. Lieu, is particularly effective. I hope he finds himself serving in the next administration after the 2028 election.

Someone close to the goings on in D.C. and or New York and or Florida and/or wherever Blanche is licensed should please file a complaint with the law licensing authorities, that would be ideal. The direct path to uncovering and putting right the outrageous and seemingly illicit conduct as a lawyer by Blanche as the personal counsel to @potus is to file a grievance with regard to his law license.

#BREAKING: Rep Subramanyam: “…If you look at it, all the bad stuff that has happened in the #Epstein saga, Todd Blanche has been at the CENTER of it…you talk about moving Ghislaine Maxwell…you talk about not releasing two and a half million files, Todd Blanche is in the center of all of this, so it makes sense that she [Pam Bondi] referred to Todd Blanche so much…of course President Trump wants his former personal attorney in charge of the Epstein saga because the president is in the files…apparently he [Blanche] was involved PERSONALLY in some of the redaction process, that’s something we learned, and even people in his office were involved in that process…”😳🤦‍♀️
