“While there is every reason to be outraged, we cannot let that outrage flood us and stop our minds. For this is a moment to grasp the fascist passions that fuel this shameless grab for authoritarian powers.” Read more from Judith Butler: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Trump is unleashing sadism upon the world. But we cannot get overwhelmed | Judith Butler

Those who celebrate his defiance and sadism are as claimed by his logic as those who are paralyzed with outrage

SoCal friends: Many animal shelters are overwhelmed from people dropping off beloved pets they can't take with them as they flee. Please consider donating and fostering. Pasadena Humane is one such org. Contact your local animal orgs to see if they need help. pasadenahumane.org/eaton-canyon...

Today a friend told me about how her family came together over Thanksgiving, bringing their political differences to the table using civil discourse skills to learn more about each other. #CivilDiscourse takes practice and can easily be integrated into our courses

In 2023, our team created an interactive guide to rights the Supreme Court has established — and could take away. Most rights are based in statute, but rights to same-sex marriage, search warrants and Miranda warnings are based on judicial rulings that the Supreme Court can overturn. ⤵️

Anyone else have a stack of papers to grade and is also putting it off until Sunday? Focusing on family and friends this weekend. Procrastination or prioritization… 🤔 #EduSky

OK, folks. By popular demand I went ahead and created another starter pack for K-12 History and Social Studies teachers because you can never follow too many teachers. Thanks for sharing. Let me know if you would like to be added. 🗃️ go.bsky.app/4yrJKvt

I attempted a Starter Pack! I’ve seen several of these for the education world, but the folks who teach K-12 history teachers need to lift each other up — it’s just going to get harder to insist on good history. Let me know if you want me to add someone! #edusky #sschat go.bsky.app/TbTWPdV

This Friday is Native American Heritage Day. A great resource is the "Native Land Digital" site - native-land.ca Put in any address (such as where you live) to see which indigenous peoples lived in that location. Then click on the links for those nations to learn more about them. #EduSky

Anyone in #sschat #edusky also using materials from the Case Method Project? Our next case in #APGov will be “Manufacturing Constituencies: Race and Redistricting in North Carolina” and I’m trying to revamp how we approach this case study and assess understanding. www.hbs.edu/case-method-...

Love this reminder. Both as an academic year classroom teacher who needs to remember this in my day-to-day interactions, and as a summer school principal who appreciates hearing (and responding to) all the amazing things our teachers are doing in our community.

Just got out of a PD session learning how to use Loom for student reach outs and class newsletters. Presenter extolled the benefits of the Pro level but I’d love to connect with anyone in #EduSky is using the Educator level for these tasks? #EdTech

Are there any starter packs for Government or Civics teachers? I am still figuring all this out but I’d love to find y’all so I can follow you 🥳

We’ve incorporated media literacy into our AP Government classes since before I started teaching the course at our school. I keep hoping it would be formally added to the College Board’s CED especially after the 2018 redesign. #APGov #MediaLiteracy #CollegeBoard #EduSky

Wondering if there are any 9-12 California educators who are also teaching a Civics & Regional Politics course focused on California state and local government? This is the fifth year of the course I developed and I’m always looking to collaborate with colleagues! #EduSky #Civics #California

So much pressure to make the first post a good one and Scrappy is already judging me for how much thought I gave this.
