Children don't hate math! What they hate is being confused, intimidated, and embarrassed by math! Just because many adults had this experience in school doesn't mean we can't change the narrative for our students now and in the future! #Math #MathTeacher #ITeachMath #MathIsImportant

I regret reading the replies. For us to make it through the coming years, ppl gotta stop celebrating whenever something horrific happens to whatever demographic group they personally have decided to blame the election results on. That is NOT how we build a coalition & bring ppl into the fold

It’s quite clear by now that the answer to “why is the Trump administration doing x terrible thing?” is that they are trying to dismantle America and destabilize the entire world.

“Let them suffer the consequences of their actions.” I see this so much in my mentions, often from anonymous accounts who could be bots or ops for all I know, but whatever they are, they are trying to normalize a false bifurcation. If “they” are suffering, so are people you consider to be “us.”

Compliance never gets you peace. "Now that I've given them what they want, they'll leave me alone" is a dangerous delusion.

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

Stories are how we get through this- both telling our own and listening to others… connecting to each other as humans fighting for what matters. Stories make us human… and this is how we survive and do what is needed to build what comes next. #Stories

I’ve considered it and, you know what? I don’t fucking care. They’ve already elevated those exact far right outlets at the Pentagon and pushed out legacy media. Legitimate news outfits can take a stand against this now, or they can meekly enable this fascist shit & still get pushed out later.

On Feb. 14th I try always to give honor to one of the greatest contributors to American democracy in our nation’s history, Frederick Douglass. Born into slavery, Douglass never knew his actual birthdate, and adopted Feb. 14th as the day. His penetrating insights about our country inspire me daily.

If you understand that apartheid was an economic system first, and a brutally violent system of social segregation second, you'll understand how Elon Musk is trying to update the principles from his homeland, and bring about a neo-apartheid system in the US. My latest in @thenation.com

We only know this man is in Gitmo because Noem tweeted a propaganda photo that included him and his sister saw it. He has no criminal record. He entered the US in January and immediately made an appointment with CBP to claim asylum. They sent him to a concentration camp bc of his basketball tattoo.

Here is a script you can use for any issue. Find your reps' # at reps.fyi or 5calls.org. Every time you see a news story that horrifies you: call, or something else about it. It matters to say what you believe. You are setting a norm.

This is not nothing. The stream of legal rulings sound the alarm to the normies that illegal and unconstitutional shit is happening left and right. But keep in mind the federal court orders are not self executing. Someone, the executive branch, someone, needs to enforce the order.

Executive wants to frame the NIH indirects cut as $4B in savings. But given that NIH returns $2.5 on every $1 investment, this would actually cost US economy a net $6 BILLION (per year!). Not to mention the human costs of wrecking education and research sectors and the communities they serve.

Just a reminder that Musk couldn’t get a top level security clearance. And he was under investigation for violating the terms of the clearance he did have. Now he has your Social Security number, your tax returns, and is unilaterally deciding who the government does and does not pay.
