New: What Cities Really Take When They Sweep Homeless Encampments From birth certificates to loved ones’ ashes, these are just some of the belongings cities take when they clear homeless encampments.

This is a very significant Avaaz campaign

Our newest ad just dropped

There _is_ a place for everyone.

"In 2022, a record half of all Americans spent more than 50% of their income on rent..." "Currently, the 1998 Faircloth Amendment in effect prevents the federal government from funding new public housing, ..."

This should be the story tomorrow, and every day: The leader of one of America’s two major political parties has just signaled to the Kremlin that if elected, he would not only refuse to defend Europe in World War III, but he would gladly support Vladimir Putin. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

This is an interesting educational resource. Do you live in a democracy? Do you feel that change is possible from below? On all issues? #Edusky

This week's column is about the billionaire-funded network that delivers the same political outcomes all over the world. It's about how democracies are transformed by the network into new aristocracies. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The democratic threat of AI is not misinformation, but manipulation. Or do you see it differently? #EduSky open.spotify.com/episode/133T...

Alternative strategies to COP are needed. I'm intrigued by the #fossilfueltreaty that Monbiot made me aware of here.

This is why I care about reducing screen time for my children.

Teaching your students to spell, the right way #EduSky

Good teaching be like #EduSky

I'd like to try an experiment. What do you notice with this picture? (It is from Google Earth View) #EduSky

This was a scary listen. I worry, because as a parent and teacher I feel really badly equipped to deal with the threat of the attention economy. #EduSky

There is so much I love about this approach. Authentic science, taking the students seriously, differentiation without learning ceiling. #EduSky

It’s somehow deeply weird that you can take a camera with a nice but normal-sized zoom lens, point it at space, click the button, and take pictures of other planets. They’re apparently just RIGHT THERE??

Personally, I don't think this could come soon enough. Smart phones are often used to escape reality. Do you agree with the policy suggestion? #EduSky @edusky.bsky.social

As educators, we're influenced by core values that shape our teaching practices. What are some fundamental ideas that guide your approach in the classroom or teacher identity? #EduSky

Science teachers, which teaching style do you favor? 'Concept-first' where you explain the theory before a demonstration, or 'Phenomenon-first' where you start with the demonstration? #EduSky
