We have been teaching literacy, yes. I know. But, we have been leaving some key forms of literacy OUT of curriculum for far too long. We've excluded literacies, too. We are reaping what we've sown as a field... as a people; as a nation.

It's been a long day so far but I am really encouraged because people are in motion everywhere. Also, while many institutions are acting with cowardice, lots of individual people are not.

Teachers, stepping up and doing the basics. Showing love and being a human, seeing the kids as humans, and practicing anti racist teaching IS always the right thing to do.

“The first people a dictator puts in jail after a coup are the writers, the teachers, the librarians —because these people are dangerous. They have enough vocabulary to recognize injustice and to speak out loudly about it. Let us have the courage to go on being dangerous people.” —Madeleine L’Engle

I understand folks are protesting and showing up, but it’s not enough. I want to see the country shut down. Not just towns in certain places, for a couple of hours

Good morning, beloved. The past can be a pathway or a prison. It all depends on how you collaborate with it. Today is a great day to overcome evil with good.

“Those nasty Canadians are ripping us off and are controlled by Mexican cartels. They’re poisoning us with fentanyl and need to become the 51st state or they will pay a high price” is a belief that literally ZERO Americans had six weeks ago. It’s entirely invented from scratch.

Looking at all the posts wondering where POTUS Barack Obama is, and MVP Harris. Wypipo made it clear who they wanted to elect this time around - and did. Hollering for help from Black folks ain't gonna work. Go out and get your skinfolks to reject and undo what they have wrought

It's this. "We are not going back" is way before even 2016. Like, "back there" was never good.

american masculinity is so amazing. caring about clothes as a man apparently makes you "gay" but our position on geopolitics totally depends on whether you wear a suit

Now do people understand how “professional attire” can also be biased and based solely on American cultural beliefs vs actual definitions of professionalism?? So because he’s not wearing a suit, he’s disrespectful? He’s not abiding by our American values of clothing? Oh.
