Elementary teacher in another lifetime.

If I ever have another job interview, and someone asks “Why do you think you could do this job? You’ve never done anything like this before...”
I will proceed to tell them the story of teaching during a pandemic...
Because of your voice on Delaney Hall, the Trump admin just released 18 yr old high school senior whose story I told. They released the pregnant women held inside. These releases show ICE isn’t targeting the violent criminals. ICE is feeling the pressure. Keep raising your voice.
I’ve signed up to make calls with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for Congress on Thursday, Jun 4, 2026.
Are you free to join me?

There's a major civil rights protest taking place in Selma, Alabama, right now in response to the SCOTUS decision that weakened the Voting Rights Act and the ongoing attack on Black Americans’ political power

@leftcoastbabe@Demeter_Erinia You need a paper map to see the spatial relationships. That enables you to plan interesting routes instead of merely direct and expedient.
Until the year I left teaching, I continued to teach a unit on maps and mapping.
The joy and excitement at the discoveries were priceless.
🚨 🇺🇸MAJOR BREAKING: They are marching across the Edmund Pettus Bridge again.
61 years after Bloody Sunday. The same bridge. The same fight.
Today in Selma, thousands are gathering at the spot where Alabama state troopers beat peaceful Black marchers in March 1965.
That beating shocked the country into passing the Voting Rights Act five months later.
This week the Supreme Court finished gutting it.

@jenteach13 No one in a position to change those facts cares.
The reasons are varied—a few complex, and many quite simple.
And institutional knowledge is definitely not a valued trait.

AOC: “It is time for the North to pull up to the South and let them know exactly what they have uncorked with this injustice. They think they can draw us out of power. They do not know the sleeping giant they just awakened. What they thought was the final blow is actually just the opening silo”
The stories and photographs from today’s voting rights marches in Alabama deserve to be seen by people who weren’t able to stand there in person. If this piece moves you, please share it widely and help make sure these voices aren’t lost in the noise of a crowded news cycle. https://t.co/TIVqbA9k9O
AOC: “MAGA is the last dying breath of the confederacy. In response to a confederacy, we have this moment here of liberation, abolition, and revival of the values that make this country actually great. We have every freedom that we have today because somebody in each generation refused to accept the world as it was”
