[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

I think today was an inflection point - maybe small, but real.

The President, having launched a global trade war, feted in the Oval Office a Central American dictator who runs a mega-prison known for starvation and torture - a prison to which our government has, by its own admission, sent at least one person "in error."

They disappeared a man without a single criminal charge who's lived and worked here for 15 years - who was alleged to be a member of a gang based in a state he never lived by one anonymous informant. No other evidence. No trial. No conviction. Nothing but a legal order that he not be deported to El Salvador, where he's now serving a life sentence.

The Supreme Court just ruled, without any noted dissent, that the government must facilitate the man's release.

But Trump and his dictator friend said no. They laughed. They mocked the journalist who asked whether they'd abide by the Court's order. The Attorney General, the Secretary of State, and the White House Deputy Chief all lied about the facts of the case. Then the President repeated his proposal to send American citizens to the dictator's prison, and asked him to build five more.

The same day we found out that the government knowingly disappeared a PhD student for nothing but an op-ed, a man's 19-year old son who agents admitted was the wrong kid, and a visa-holding Russian scientist at Harvard who forgot to declare frog embryos at the border.

But: it's all breaking through. It's getting more coverage. More people are paying attention. More elected Democrats are speaking up. More conservative pundits and legal scholars are speaking up. Even Joe Rogan thinks it's bullshit.

Now we have to keep pushing. This is much bigger than immigration or deportation policy - this is about whether we live in a free country or a police state. It's the whole ballgame.

People are conflating Critical Race Theory with History. Y’all really protesting the teaching of HISTORY in schools. And just because that history makes some uncomfortable, that doesn’t make it any less true.

It was such an honor to be graduation coordinator for this commencement... our first normal thing! Got to hang out with @justindavidwilk during @ForestParkHSVA graduation. Thanks for always working to make our students a priority.

@myrondueck slaps (as the kids say). So excited for this #STAGR conference and all the ways we can make learning even more student-centered @1stEdResources

Big shoutout to @FPHSBruins Mr. Martinez for his words at the school board meeting. We see you representing the @fphs_blc 💙💚🐻

Thank you to everyone who is speaking up for the inequity and lack of transparency in the hybrid return to learn model.

I keep trying to tweet during this school board meeting, but I’m an English teacher and I can’t self-edit out the snark 🤷🏻‍♀️

[Kerry Haddad @kerrymhaddad]

Watching the School Board meeting (until the streaming went out...) and I just hope there is pressure for proactive transparency in all this. Teachers, students, and parents deserve a SAFE and TRANSPARENT school experience. @justindavidwilk
