The wisdom of Jewish sages feels like an appropriate reminder in this moment:
In a place where no one is acting with decency, choose to be the decent one.

If they can do this now, just wait... Under MAGA rule, it's not just content that will be banned; people will be erased. We will revert to the days when it was illegal for LGBTQ ppl to simply to talk about our day to day lives. It may even be declared illegal for us to exist. We can stop this. VOTE

Improving science #education in the U.S. isn't just about better teaching methods, resources, or content standards; we also must address ppl who, in pursuit of continued profit & privilege, actively work against efforts to strengthen critical thinking skills. #MediaLiteracy ed methods can help.

I'm 😮 shocked that the algorithm would think that pairing Trump ads begging for cash would find a receptive audience in followers of rabid antisemite Stew Peters. (what's the emoji for "dripping with sarcasm"? insert here)

School vouchers threaten public schools by transferring tax $$ to wealthy parents & investors, private corporations, and religious groups, often in ways that don't hold charter or private schools accountable. Here's a great resource fr Network for Public Ed to help stop them. #education

The goal of NPE is to connect all those who are passionate about our schools – students, parents, teachers and citizens. We share information and research on vital issues that concern the future of public education at a time when it is under attack.

Read Galinsky to counter the scaremongers: What teens want adults to know: “We aren’t social-media-obsessed, we aren’t extremely self-involved, our phones don’t define us, and the internet is not going to be the end of us.” More than 2x as many rated their mental health as excellent than poor.

Jeff Young @YoungMindSpouts"We hear it said all the time: Progressives won't unite behind any set of ideas.

Progressives should argue progressivism."08:03 AM - Mar 05, 2024

The narrative that Republicans are fiscally responsible and Democrats are irresponsible spenders has always been false. Both parties spend. The difference is what they fund and who benefits as a result.

Ever wonder why we think what we think or what the origins are of things we consider "common knowledge"?

FL continues its assault on scholarship & free speech by removing sociology from counting towards General Ed requirements at all state colleges/universities. That's right. Sociology. The systematic study of society and relationships among social groups.
