Snoop Dogg saying “I am interested in the horses that dance, and giving them carrots and apples” has made my entire week, thank you so much Snoop Dogg.
faith in our classrooms is not biblical curriculum
faith in our classrooms is teachers with a livable wage
Students that are cared for, feed, and empowered
Parents that dont live in fear of losing their children to mass shootings
buildings that are not 60 years old
Another language is not just a language. It's people, culture, history, music, food, art, sport, film, literature, politics and all of human interaction seen through a different lens. That's why languages matter to everyone and make all of us even better at whatever else we love.
"The Bible is clear" is a term often used to force beliefs & morality on people who don't subscribe to the teachings of the Bible.
But the Bible IS clear, for those who follow Jesus:
Be peacemakers
Love your neighbor
Welcome the stranger
Serve the least
Feed the hungry
Forgive.
I came into pub quiz and saw my friend Cassey, who introduced me to someone named Liz. I told Liz that I was going to beat her in pub quiz because I'm very good, and she shouldn't try. Turns out it was @lyzl
Tuning into Sen. Dave Murman's hearing on parental involvement, social emotional learning & ESSER dollars in schools. There is a lot of misinformation about education being thrown around. I'm going to point out below some big (FALSE) points said (a thread) 🧵
For each $1 stolen in shoplifting, there's at least $5 in wage theft and $100 in tax evasion. Have you ever heard about a wage theft or tax evasion "crime wave"? What do you think this tells you about how reporters determine what is "news" and what is ignored, and who benefits?
As we celebrate #Juneteenth, let us keep in mind that African Americans during the Civil War distinguished between *abolishing slavery* and *freeing people.* Many formerly enslaved people did not feel *free* in 1865 and thereafter, and they clearly articulated why. A thread 1/

DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE DISTORTION OF MLK 2day. He did not want us to hold hands and kumbaya. In the 60's, he and his direct acts of non-violence were considered deeply unpopular and radical. He was a fervent anti-racist, anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist. Heed his true work
I care a lot about public education. I’m an educator and I know how crucial a robust public education is for a democracy. Whenever someone says “parents’ rights” in relation to education I want to know what exactly they have in mind because I think those are actually code words.
Pittsburgh has a buck on the loose that somehow has coated his antlers in Christmas decor. The authorities have said he’s not in distress so let him carry that energy into 2023 and don’t rain on his holiday parade.
Something people don't seem to realise about disability benefits is that you have to fight through one of the most degrading, dehumanizing processes known to man, often fighting for years against unfairness, just to get, at the end of the day, not enough money to live on.
Police have declined to share details into how a missing 5-month-old was found
Turns out, 2 Black women not only hatched a place to lead police to the kidnapping suspect, they went looking for & found baby Kason Thomas https://t.co/CvSNxZFCsr
Christianity should sound like, “my faith causes me to ask really challenging questions about myself,” not “my faith gives me all the right answers for how everyone else should live.”
