JUST IN: Another team of Mexican firefighters has landed in LA to help combat the wildfires. Thank you, Mexico 🇲🇽🇺🇸

Firefighters from Mexico just arrived at LAX. They'll be joining 14,000+ personnel already battling the #PalisadesFire. California is immensely grateful to our neighbors' support in the fight against the wildfires in Los Angeles.

It’s a small win but I appreciate the Supreme Court holding some iota of respect for the legal system.

RIP President Jimmy Carter

The girls are fightingggg

Homeboy stopped the wrong lady (H/T @agirlhasnopres.bsky.social )

Lesson planning and decided to do a crash course in tariffs. Social Studies can save the world

In local election news where I live, the guy who refused to vote to change Nebraska’s electoral college rule is now running for mayor of Omaha. Who saw that coming except everyone?

Podcast rec- behind the bastards. The RFK Jr eps are particularly good

Everyone knows by now that what they taught us in school about Thanksgiving was bullshit, right? A lie, because the truth was so horrific we’d question EVERYTHING about the founding of this country. Book banning is real now, but whitewashing history was always real.

That guac at chipotle bout to be hella extra

I just leave this here.....

Reports are there’s fighting in the transition team. Who saw that coming from 1,000 miles away?

Who’s gonna tell them most of the illegal drugs are smuggled by US citizens?

I know we all just met but I feel like it’s worth a shot. As an outcome of the cruel world of capitalism, my 66 year old mom is fighting for her life in the hospital but worried because she can’t work and support herself. Anything, literally, helps gofund.me/d0e41168

There are definitely not enough leopards in this country to do all the face eating we are gonna need. Supply chain issues yet again.

Mom is doing better, a reminder in my mind to trust experts and trust science. Science saved her life.

Does the Linda McMahon nomination mean that classroom management will involve folding chairs?

My mom is in the ICU recovering from a perforated colon and we could use all the love you’ve got Bluesky

Students learning about PACS “ I dunno miss I just feel like Home Depot giving money to politicians is weird” You got it kid

From a purely potentially naive level I truly wonder the level to which narcissistic politicians on the right will go along with unpopular measures knowing full well he’s no longer electable.

If anyone has thoughts on what teachers can and should be doing over the next four years lmk. Already working on advocacy work for my local mayoral election.

This is essential stuff.For those of us who are not gonna be organizers in the traditional sense.There are many strategies listed here that are ways to build communities that are robust, connected, & capable of protection/action that are also sources of pleasure & joy(undersung political resources).

A convo with my husband: Me: “They (repubs) are the Nazis but dumb…dumb Nazis” Him: “They are nonsenzis…nonsense Nazis”

Your future secretary of housing and urban development

Andrew Jackson not only had a crazy cabinet he *checks notes* did a bunch with tariffs. Those idiots really didn’t pay attention in school did they?

Time to teach my students about social movements. Who better to do that than a suffragette?

@hcrichardson.bsky.social is following me guys. I might faint

this is a really fantastic thread on the very complicated legal status of the US National Guard. Guard exists as a kind simultaneously state and federal body, but also sometimes as only one or only the other, in a tangle I've always found hard to sort through or explain. This really helped!
