Reading fosters empathy by creating windows and doors and tearing down walls; opinions are her own (she/her)

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

Alex Pretti was a Minneapolis ICU nurse who spent his days caring for and saving others. Today, he was shot and killed by a Border Patrol Agent. Alex’s life was extinguished by state violence. We must tell the truth about what is happening.

My father warned us, “When evil men plot, good men must plan. When evil men burn and bomb, good men must build and bind.”

What we are witnessing now (masked raids, people taken without due process, vigilante, Gestapo, and slave patrol-like tactics normalized under the color of law) is a moral crisis.

Nonviolence demands more than outrage; it demands action.

Congress must dismantle ICE; enact just, humane immigration policies; and ensure implementation of the policies by people who honor the humanity of Black and Brown immigrants, respect those raising their voices in support of immigrants, and seek the safety of community.

The blood of those who are being kidnapped and unjustly killed by agents with impunity is not only on the hands of those who pull the trigger, but on every lawmaker and every court that has the power to intervene and chooses silence.

Creating the Beloved Community requires truth, accountability, and the courage to act before more lives are lost.

A Myles Turner Rubik's Cube mural. 🤯

@thecollegecuber found out Myles was a fan of Rubik's Cubes, so he created an @Original_Turner mural from 560 cubes. 🤯🔥

@JamiesonV Friday was a staff dress like a book character day. My sixth graders approved of my character choice.

In the only four years since New Kid has been out, I’ve had some amazing things happen. This Target commercial is definitely in the Top 10.

@SamanthaKolber I’m so sorry. It’s bed. VT had been in my thoughts here in MA. Such a wet summer. Our basement dehumidifiers and sump pump have been running constantly.

[Sara Wilcox @EducatorWilcox]

@Jarrett_Lerner Also as a kid I made my own snacks after school. My fave was peanut butter on Ritz crackers with American cheese because I could make it myself and we always had those food items in the house. It was like homemade cheddar crackers with peanut butter 😆. It disgusts my own kids.

[Sara Wilcox @EducatorWilcox]

@Jarrett_Lerner I love marshmallows dipped in peanut butter. It’s from my camp counselor days. Those were the two things we always had extra of after the campers were tucked into they tents at night. 😆

[Sara Wilcox @EducatorWilcox]

@GiftedTawk Non of the above. I’ve eaten granola with fresh or frozen fruit & yogurt for two years now. I never though I could eat the same thing every school day, but it’s quick prep, healthy, filling.
