Something that could go a long way given the current info environment is if each of us takes it upon ourselves to disseminate good information in our own networks and communities. This is absolutely within our control to do.

Last night, Hillsborough County Public Schools held its first school board meeting since letters from state officials ordered books off shelves. Two parents made particularly poignant statements that must be heard. You can watch the whole meeting here: www.hillsboroughschools.org/Page/6365

It’s not enough for us to simply be in spaces with safe people. We will often bring the trauma, rejection sensitivity, emotional baggage, and pain suffered from people and spaces that have harmed us. Self-love is a start, but not the final move. We also need the tools to begin to heal.

If it doesn't pay you in peace, profit, or purpose, its too energetically expensive.

When you use civil rights to violate civil rights. Using an executive order, that only applies to executive branch and is not a law; is also wild. www.wfsb.com/app/2025/06/...

Libraries are for everyone! Everyone deserves to see themselves in the books they read and get the chance to experience diverse perspectives! Happy Pride Month! #librariesareforeveryone #pride #pridemonth2025 #TLSky #Skybrarian #Booksky

Trump’s pardon of John Rowland defies bipartisan condemnation of what sent Connecticut’s disgraced former governor to jail not once, but twice. Trump rewards corruption in others while seeking every corrupt foreign and domestic payment for himself.

Thinking about field trips today. They can be a lot of fun. It’s important to remember that being in a new and different space can feel overwhelming. Before boarding the bus, remember to facilitate a convo about what the class rules look and sound like when not in the class. #elemchat

Our former governor shouldn’t be pardoned. He had TWO separate convictions. He went in, had to leave office disgraced. Did some time. Got a talk radio show. And was convicted AGAIN.

@thebeat.msnbc.com is incredible tonight! Top tier presentation by Ari Melber.

Target continues to let us know what it stands for. news.bloomberglaw.com/business-and...

Stop the @bsky.app bashing. We’re all under a tremendous strain. We’re not perfect. I block when I need to, but ignore most foolishness. Don’t become goaded into leaving a platform that’s doing almost all the right things. To organize for 2026, we need to stay in communication w/each other.

Well played, Harvardā™ŸļøšŸ™ŒšŸ»

Kids learn boundaries, ā€˜acceptable’ behaviors, and right vs wrong from the adults around them. They watch to see what YOU do as they make sense of the world. How you interact with others, move through the world, and respond to others’ actions drives their understanding of what is okay for them.

When you want children to understand how to treat others, model it & live it. Q: What are your actions showing kids about how to treat others?

@cnn.com just stated that the WP commencement speech was a very clear message to the graduates. šŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø

Mean times make mean people, so kindness is rebellion.

It's hard to even think about setting boundaries when you've been programmed by your family to assume you are the "troublemaker" or "problem" in any given situation. Trauma Brain will try to tell you your desire for boundaries is "selfish" or "dramatic"-- but it's not.

@harvard.edu is offering an array of free classes, including many that discuss government structure, power checks, & constitutional foundation. An educated populace is a super weapon against fascism & tyranny. Grab some friends & sign up today. #AltGov #AltFam #AltCitizen

To understand the life of a person with cPTSD, is to understand they’ve experienced multiple traumas and after each one, people normalized their pain, rather than making the traumas stop.

While my area of expertise is education, and within that a very specific niche or 2, what is happening with immigrants is incredibly concerning to me.

Start every day with this reality: EVERY HOUSE SEAT and 33 Senate seats are up for election in 2026. THAT must be the focus. Let’s get disciplined. #LeaveNoPowerOnTheTable ballotpedia.org/United_State...

I’ll say this and then I’m gonna step back b/c 2026 IS THE ONLY NATIONAL ELECTION THAT’S IMPORTANT NOW. No Dem presidential candidate wins w/o high Black turnout & vote. So stop making it like Black voters are expendable or that you can serve up any candidate chosen by Pelosi, Clooney or MSM & win.

Utah legislators commissioned a study to go with their 2023 ban on gender-affirming pediatric care. Now they're trying to ignore the results.

Another big FU from Harvard… free online courses on the US government, the US constitution, civic engagement, and more. pll.harvard.edu/subject/gove...
