We are learning that, at the commanding heights of American life, there is little courage. But courage is rising from below. And it is only that that will save us. I talked about yesterday‘s 50501 protests, which should not be ignored. FULL ESSAY: the.ink/p/essay-home...

What they don’t tell you about teaching in a large urban district: I found out last night that I lost my 22nd former student to drugs/violence. Every one of these kids had hopes and dreams and were just like everyone else’s kid. They made bad choices but weren’t bad kids.

Putin puppet Trump, is spouting Russian propaganda after meeting with his master. Trump was impeached for trying to extort Zelenskyy in his first term. If McConnell and the rest of the GOP had done their jobs, we wouldn’t be in this mess today. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victiry apple.news.

Be daunted. But don't despair. That's a key message from @anandwrites.bsky.social's interview with @ruthbenghiat.bsky.social. Don't let the coup's "shock action" paralyze us. It's okay to take time to think and understand, so our resistance is focused and effective. substack.com/@anandwrites...
