Alabama @RepTerriSewell and New York @RepAOC are in Montgomery with thousands of other demonstrators.

“When the flare goes up, we have to pull up,” AOC said. “That's what our assignment is ... We have to show up ... We cannot allow the rights of people here to be eviscerated.”

What if one gallery could show you the whole rise of Western art in a single walk?

The Uffizi is far more than the home of Botticelli’s Birth of Venus. Without it, the Renaissance would feel scattered, the continuity of art broken.

Behind it stands the Medici vision, a dynasty that turned power into preservation and helped keep Florence’s artistic soul intact.

From Giotto and Leonardo to Michelangelo, Raphael, Titian, Caravaggio, and Artemisia, each room reveals another step in how beauty, realism, and human drama were reborn.

By the end, what stays with you is not just the greatness of the works, but the unsettling question of what happens to a civilization when it stops protecting the things that carry its soul.

@constantelos @Larryferlazzo @moultano If only teachers had the time, and support, to design studies and systematically collect - and analyze - data. Insider understandings matter.

Here Are Hundreds Of Articles About Education I’ve Written Over The Years https://t.co/tj4gAVYeKN

I can relate to that. But you did say "The science of reading promised . . ." SoR makes no promises about implementation, which is why a 'science of teaching reading' is important to pursue.

New find! And how lovely it is. This small, silver thimble was found in the field next to Gwydir. We think it’s Tudor. When I hold it, it gives me goosebumps - a direct link to the woman who lost it. Very kindly donated by Margaret Bassett, the woman who found it.
