Saw another ‘it’s time to let Texas go’ comment on IG in response to Charlie Kirk visiting Texas A&M, and I envy this person their oblivious belief that everything we’re living through isn’t coming for them, too.

I just gonna go ahead and say that putting active duty United States Marines on the streets of an American city is, in fact, heavy handed.

“People came over to help and got me on the curb. A medic was called, who cut off my clothes. In my leg was what felt like a five centimeter hole with muscle hanging out of it and blood all down my leg. The medic put a tourniquet on it, and a journalist I was with took me to ER.”

"I think we have a bias as people coming from the tech industry where we worked at companies, you know, such as Google, Facebook, these companies that have plenty of money, are funded by investors and have lots of people kind of sitting around doing nothing." www.npr.org/2025/06/02/n...

One thing I wish people understood about the past is that most bread-eating people did not bake their own bread at home. Does this culture have bread? And money? Good, then it also has bakeries. (Or, in small communities, a village oven.)

New data shows only 8% of North Carolina’s Opportunity Scholarships went to kids from public schools. That's because they, like vouchers in other states and in the Big Brutal Bill, are meant to and do provide tax breaks to the wealthy and to fund tuition for more well-off parents.

Last time I heard it on the news, saw this guy tweeting from DFW airport about these grandkids waiting for their grandma with a homemade sign, grabbed my keys and drove to the airport to protest. This time: I don't even know what this latest travel ban is. She's totally right re: shocked vs. numb

I’m really enjoying Nicole Kidman’s choices and career these days. Like, I want to have a phase in my career like that where I just choose projects mostly because they seem interesting or fun?

Also, I was just irretrievably lost a lot? I used to call a friend who was always at a computer and ask him for help. “Hey, it’s 11 pm, and I’m in a strange city- could you look up this street and help me get back to my hotel”. Pretty sure he still has anxiety about it

#HoyEnAnimal | La primera #elecciónjudicial en México fue desdeñada por más del 87 % del padrón electoral. Solo votaron entre 12.5 y 13.2 millones, muy por debajo de los 35.9 millones que eligieron a Sheinbaum en 2024. Una participación incluso menor a la Revocación de Mandato de 2022.

What infuriates me so much about this new operation is that it is literally punishing people for following the rules and showing up to their court hearings. It is so toxic to the basic concept of following the rules. It is an operation designed by people who hate the concept of the rule of law.

To be earnest for a moment, it is just incredibly irresponsible & destructive for the Secretary of Transportation to talk like this.

I wanna see more classroom teachers delivering keynotes, facilitating workshops, and given space and larger platforms to talk about what’s working/not working with students in this moment. Too many educator conferences, not nearly enough current teacher voices and experiences.

I continue to be really grateful that I learned to be a teacher before 1-to-1 devices were a thing. Learning to design and facilitate a really good lesson without any tech? Such an important, foundational thing as a teacher.
