All the action will be public on FB, though

shame on UMD!

All of us have a story - hope that yours doesn’t include “pervasive and systemic hostile environmental discriminatory harassment that women would find hostile or offensive” by tenured men @UMDSwenson Department of Mathematics &Statistics #EnoughIsEnough #accountabilitymatters

[Anthony Oliveira @meakoopa]

everyone's dunking on this loser but honestly what a gift to the historian in 50 years trying to quickly demonstrate for their high-school textbook how centrist both-sideism horseshit so quickly enabled the resurgence of fascism and its horrors

Mighty Mississippi indeed. More souvenir than navigational tool, this 11-ft “ribbon map” (1866) allowed steamboat passengers to track their progress along the Mississippi. We’ll be discussing this tmrw at 3 CT Live on our FB page.

News the White House pulled Jim @Acosta’s credentials is not an attack on one journalist but all of the press. There should be complete solidarity. This is a moment for any Republican who says they believe in the Constitution to stand up.

The day after Halloween should be a nationwide teacher holiday.

@eriolcaw class discussions are everything

[Dan Rather @DanRather]

Antisemitism, history shows, simmers like an ember even in times of seeming peace. A small provocation can spur a deadly conflagration. At the faintest hint of smoke, we must stamp out the flames as soon as possible. Those who stoke the danger are literally playing with fire.

[Dan Rather @DanRather]

“I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the
oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere.” - Elie Wiesel

Numerous terrorist attacks in America this week...

Not from people in a caravan
Not from people from Mexico
Not from people from Yemen
Not from people from Iran
Not from people from Syria
Not from people from Libya

All from white supremacists from America.

Sick.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

We grieve for the Americans murdered in Pittsburgh. All of us have to fight the rise of anti-Semitism and hateful rhetoric against those who look, love, or pray differently. And we have to stop making it so easy for those who want to harm the innocent to get their hands on a gun.

[Jeet Heer @HeerJeet]

The worst anti-Semitic massacre in American history took place today.

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

This gun serves no purpose in American society but to kill other Americans.

[Susan Nygaard @DrNygaard]

Everyone should read this!

[Rachel Maddow @maddow]

Read this on North Dakota -- really, it's worth your time.

Then tell me why on earth you think the state GOP went out of their way to change the law (and fight to the bitter end in the courts) to block everyone in their state from voting who doesn't have this kind of address.

[Ed Post 🎓 @edu_post]

On this day in 1963, James Baldwin talked with teachers about how to teach children during "a very dangerous time." His education legacy lives on today.
