Repost if you have tinnitus.

Wise people are rich in intellectual openness and have a deep desire for truth as well as an increased need to know things as they actually are and thus are so compelled to learn from anything around them.

How we did it: Texas Won’t Study How Its Abortion Ban Impacts Women, So We Did

Pascale Déry is clearly unfit for her office and should stand down. Under the CAQ the Ministry of Education has become the Ministry of Miseducation and Manipulation. Enough already. www.montrealgazette.com/news/article...

The CAQ government in its ongoing mission to bully teachers and control how history is told and taught in Quebec. We need to push back hard to be sure everyone has access to the whole truth and teachers can truly teach.

Elon Musk is now trying to flip the balance of power on the top court in one of the country’s most important swing states. Read @ariberman.bsky.social on the very high stakes in Wisconsin and the Tesla founder's plot to buy the state supreme court.

Works as advertised

NEW: Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%. https://propub.li/43487Tj

Students are a delight. It’s all the institutional bullshit that drags teachers down. www.chronicle.com/article/what...

NOOO!!! Dump Amazon NOW!!! www.montrealgazette.com/news/local-p...

It’s odd to me to hear Trump’s outrageous statements, such as those about Zelenskyy, described as “lies”: lies involve some sort of manipulation of the truth. Trump just makes shit up. Also he capitalizes words at random: is that some kind of Trump fake German?

Resisting comes in all forms. Here is a very creative one starting to pop up.

Ok that made me laugh

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

Respect 🙏 In her public work, she was most notable for her forays into such far-ranging topics as women’s rights, child rearing, sexual morality, nuclear proliferation, race relations, drug addiction, population control, environmental pollution, and world hunger #resist #blueresister #canUSalliance

John Oliver: “Are we absolutely sure that Kristi Noem shot her dog, or did she just talk to it and its head exploded?” I’ve missed you, man!

Important reminder about the pitfalls of casual complicity

taking black kids away from their parents and putting them on farms seems really familiar to me! what could it be?

An important point to keep in mind.

Fascinating profile of a park ranger in San Francisco who works with unhoused residents and has adopted the novel tactic of treating them like human beings, building relationships, and helping them access resources on their own timeline.

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement. The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

Stubbornly refusing to come in from the storm

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

I was one of those kids that got fed. They didn't care what color you were or about your income, they just did the right thing and I have never forgotten it. We were too poor to afford breakfast.

So much to teach, so much to unlearn.
