With everything the new administration is doing I’m waiting on something to break. My question is What will break first? And What would need to break for MAGA to finally turn against itself?

It’s good to finally see a democrat mocking this stupidity

@davidfrenchjag.bsky.social can we get an Advisory Opinions segment on Texas v Becerra? It obviously affects my job and I’d like to get a good breakdown.

Netflix has “The Menu” listed as a comedy. I like a good laugh on a weekend…. Also I’m not laughing

So are we in the darkest timeline? Or the dumbest timeline?

The moral of what's happening at State is that despite a 99-0 Senate confirmation vote, Secretary Rubio does not have the clout or character to resist pressure to hire racist crackpots for top jobs.

My question is: Will the MAGAs turn on the president when it happens? Or will they keep making excuses for him?

😆

Kaitlyn Schiess is one of the best new Christian teachers I’ve heard in a long time.

A scared kid pulled me aside today. Said they concerned their green card would be revoked because someone in the family has a misdemeanor. ICE detained one relative for 24 hours. THIS IS NOT OK! How can people hear these stories and continue to support this admin? #edusky #teachers

I strongly agree with this. Lots of folks are demoralized. Some are intimidated. Others are apathetic. That will change.

Wait… I thought there was a guy that was going to lower the price of eggs? Alt caption: That’s it, I’m building a chicken coop www.cnn.com/2025/01/25/b... Expect record-high egg prices for most of the year

@lisamurkowski.bsky.social is one of the few left in the GOP with some integrity

Cue the MAGAs yelling about the “woke” judge

Update: My kid just punched me and asked what’s for dinner. It sure got dark quickly.

Snow day today. I’m way behind on grading papers and I’m left with a decision: 1) Catch up on work 2) Nap Not sure what I’ll do but I just finished lunch and got a blanket. #teachersofbluesky #edusky #teachers

My most optimistic view is that after 100 or so days of EO’s Trump returns to Maralago to play golf for three years.

‘“I wish it need not have happened in my time,’ said Frodo. ‘So do I,’ said Gandalf, ‘and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” — J.R.R. Tolkien “The Fellowship of the Ring”

The Trump flip-flop on TikTok illustrates something that I've been arguing for a while. His supporters say he's "unpredictable," and that keeps our enemies on their toes. Nope. He's manipulable, and that gives our enemies an advantage. China is seizing that advantage now.

Weird moment today where we stopped class to talk about investing/retirement. Told the kids to start putting money in an etf (like SPY) and don’t look back. Simulated returns over 30 years and the kids were blown away. Some even pullled out their RobinHood accounts. 1/2 #teachers #edusky #education

And it’s always a new one, not the rattletrap I’ve had since high school.

Things should be "fangled" in other ways besides "new."

So many people have lost their fear of the Lord. When we mock, relentlessly judge & make jokes about people who are suffering so we can maintain our political take, we’ve forgotten there’s a God in the heavens who hears. Humility is recognizing we are all just one disaster from losing everything.

Better idea: pass a comprehensive data privacy bill that applies across the board... and maybe *DON'T* mimic Chinese authoritarianism by creating a "Great Firewall" of apps that aren't allowed to operate here. You can actually fix things AND not abuse the 1st Amendment in one shot!

Worst thing about this snow day/long weekend so early is that I’ve forgotten most of the students names. #edusky #teachersofblusky #teaching

Snow Day Haiku Turn all alarms off Wake up at my normal time Not what I wanted #teachersofbluesky #teachers #edusky

I just caught myself cheering for Notre Dame…. That’s never happened before…. What is wrong with me? Go Irish? #CFBPlayoff #OrangeBowl

School closing was announced just as 4th period came in. Started class with a victory speech and an loud “I told you so” For some reason I was booed again. 🤣 #teachersofbluesky #edusky #education

This is likely due to my Southern Baptist upbringing, but I am highly sensitive to any belief system, political or religious, right, left, or otherwise, that demands conformity, is too certain of its own correctness, does not allow for reasoned dissent, and refuses to consider other points of view.

Today during 4th period I watched the weather update with students hoping for snow. The class (90% 17 year old boys) booed because it “Never snows in Georgia” First I called them “haters” then I told them to remember this moment on our snow day Friday, and remember the old man was right #teachers

How Bout Them Dawgs

@nancyfrench.bsky.social I gave my wife Ghosted for Christmas, she really enjoyed it. Said it was one of the best memoirs she’s read in a long time. Thanks for sharing your story.
