Small acts of kindness and resistance matter. Every conversation, every moment of care and every refusal to give in adds up. You don’t have to do everything. Just do something.

I'm incredibly patriotic, which is why I teach all the ways America has failed to live up to its ideals and promises and dreams, in hopes of inspiring the next generation to do better, to be more, to make America a place that may one say be great.

there’s nothing quite like visiting Oxford for the first time: getting the coach up from London, seeing the signs for the city and peering out the window for your first glimpse of the famous Dreaming Spires and instead the first thing you see is a shark halfway through a roof

I personally consider the boycott a success because it was a baby practice action for people who have never done that before. People got on board! They got to feel what it was like! It was easy! And when they get asked to do something next, they’ll have an experience to build off of.

🦬 Many of you are wondering what our beef with SpaceX is, and it boils down to this: "Heaven is under our feet, as well as over our heads." We have a big, beautiful world right here — and it's suffering at the hands of billionaires. Why should we let them colonize space, too?

It’s easy to feel hopeless when headlines are screaming negativity 24/7, but don’t let them trick you into thinking there’s no good left in the world. There is kindness in strangers, laughter in unexpected moments and resilience in people like you. Keep looking for the good.

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

Just a quick reminder, at the end of #BlackHistoryMonth, that if you are teaching a course in American history properly, you are teaching the history of African Americans throughout the school year. #edusky #sschat #historyteacher

I had multiple conversations today with people who said that our digital library is helping them understand the importance of information literacy and how to do historical research. And man, as a librarian, that's the best thing you could hear

Within Christianity there is a rich, prophetic tradition of civil disobedience and resistance to empire. For hundreds of years we’ve been refusing to bow down to narcissistic tyrants like Trump. He is not the first King to build a golden statue of himself and towers with his name branded on them.

Some days, it’s just hard to be a human. The world cries out in pain, justice is sidelined & it’s scary & maddening. So we cry & then get back up again to fight for what’s right, & to protect the vulnerable. Because that’s what humans do when humanity works. The job falls to all of us.

Not too late to vaccinate. Don't let shame or doubt or peer-pressure or conspiracies or opinions of other family members harm or kill you or your precious babies. It is not too late to say "I was wrong" while you or your kid is still well and not being rushed behind a scary door at a hospital.

I think the most important thing we can do right now is stick together, spend a lot of time with people we love and trust and who love and trust us. We really need that right now.

Every single Democratic governor and attorney general needs to do this -- if only to make it clear to voters right now that the firings and funding freezes that are about to hurt their states badly are the work of Trump-Musk in Washington. Get ahead of this now, or get blamed for it later.

One of the most difficult things about all this is…life goes on. Democracy is crumbling but, I am still job hunting. Democracy is crumbling but, I have to sort daycare. Democracy is crumbling but, I need to clean my car. Democracy is crumbling but, the floor needs mopping.

If you rely on fed services such as social security, Medicare/Medicaid, airline safety, clean air & water, disaster response, search & rescue, or enjoy things like national parks, you really need to contact all of your congressional reps. These services are people dependent & in very real danger.

The job of the government isn’t to “produce federal revenue” the job is meeting the needs of the people. Refuse to engage in a debate about the profitability of providing people’s needs through public resources.

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.

This morning, people showed the heck up at Zion National Park to support federal workers. My favorite part was when the organizer reminded everyone to be respectful and ended by saying, “Go make the world a better place. I love you.” #publiclands #nationalparks

In these times when courage in the public square is so necessary, I don’t think we should think of fear as something we ever get past or move beyond. Fear is a feeling that will always be there and we learn to journey with fear not past it.
