Actually, yes, this and a fantastic set of encyclopedias

Mile High Playoffs! #nuggets It was so nice to spend the day together. ♥️

West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.

We spent part of our lunch break at the @coloradoea.bsky.social 99th Delegate Assembly saying HANDS OFF education, healthcare, libraries, and so much more. ✊♥️

It’s been a busy 36 hours! From a walk in yesterday morning at my school to speaking at the Adams 12 Five Star Schools board meeting last night with the facts to a rally at the Colorado Capitol today, we were busy fighting for public education! ✊ A cut is a cut, + our students are paying the price.

Heading to the Capitol to fight for Public Education and Adams 12 Five Star Schools! @neatoday.bsky.social

@sanders.senate.gov I see you and @aoc.bsky.social are holding a rally in Denver on the 21st! Too bad it’s not the 20th because we are having a statewide rally with @coloradoea.bsky.social asking for not cute to education! You’re in Greeley…how about swing by Denver a bit early, too!

@aoc.bsky.social I see you and Bernie are holding a rally in Denver on the 21st! Too bad it’s not the 20th because we are having a statewide rally with @coloradoea.bsky.social asking for not cute to education!

Disturbing: Almost, if not 100%, of U.S. Department of Education's Office of General Counsel has been "laid off." That's the Department's lawyers.

Join us for an urgent town hall to discuss the Trump administration's dismantling of the Dept. of Education and attacks on public schools. 👉 RSVP at buff.ly/Ijk5QF9. All are welcome to join, but space is limited.

Remember: If unions didn’t matter, powerful corporations wouldn’t spend millions of dollars every year to stop them from forming. Keep up the fight.

If you live, teach, or have kids in Adams 12 Five Star Schools, you can contact your legislators here: kidsmattertoo.org/adams-12/.

Superintendents are calling on the legislature to protect education funding at all costs.

Reading buddy.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

As a journalist who covers extremism at the local level, I think it’s a mistake to view Trump’s Napoleonic statement as solely about presidential power. Consider if it’s interpreted as a wink and a nod for any extremist to act outside the law to “save” the country as they see fit

Thirty Valentine’s Days together 💟💟💟

I hear the nagging question you ask inside your head a few hundred times a day: "Is it me, or has a huge portion of this country lost its mind?" It isn't you. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/dont-gasli...

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out. Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation. Say equity, which a just society should pursue. Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

🧵 If you’re applauding the abolishment of the Department of Education, you need to do a little research. You have ZERO clue what the DOE actually does. Here’s a reality check on what the Department of Education actually does: (1/14)

What if history just didn't repeat itself, for once?

Let's say there's "waste" and "fraud" in the government. Well that’s why every department had an inspector general to find and stop it. But guess what? Trump fired most of these independent auditors who should be insulated from politics. None of this is about waste and fraud.
