It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

we are all understandably wondering "how afraid should i be?" but that's not actually a helpful question because even if it were answerable, the information wouldn't be useful. the question we need to be asking is "what power do i have?" and one thing i know for a fact you all can do is be annoying.

I can’t help but believe we are close to that 3.5% tipping point. Keep up the phone calls. Keep up the protests. Keep up the boycotts. Love will always trump hate. www.bbc.com/future/artic...

🚨 NEBRASKA 🚨 AG Mike Hilgers entered NE into this lawsuit that will gut or cut Section 504. Kids and adults with disabilities deserve protections, and our state being part of this suit is an EMBARRASSMENT… (Also, don’t forget to leave your address and zip code if you have to leave a message…)

Today, resistance looked like calling my elected representatives to share my views on important legislation that impacts me, my family, my students, my neighbors, and my community. “Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.” @aoc.bsky.social apps.apple.com/us/app/5-cal...

Call it a purge, not a buyout. Call it a coup against Congress, not a spending pause. Call it censorship, not a review. Words matter, and we in the media have a chance to do better this time.

I do feel like we forget that a mere 100 years ago 20% of children in America just fucking died.

I got the distinct pleasure of presenting at the Nebraska Thespian Festival for the second year in a row. ITS was integral to my development as a theatre educator. The community and opportunities for teachers and students is unparalleled. Hope to see you again next year, Thespians!

Deb Fischer’s husband showed his whole ass when Kamala did her swearing in. What a colossal albeit unsurprising embarrassment they are to our state and country.

Hot damn… #Nosferatu was an absolute gothic masterpiece. The tone, cinematography, editing, transitions, music, acting, directing… all were absolutely top notch.

I’m so exhausted by decision-makers in education refusing to invest in long-term solutions. If you don’t have the resources to do it right, you don’t have the resources to do it at all.
