I detest styrofoam peanuts almost as much as I loathe D Trump! Trying to teach local mockingbirds Pet Shop Boys songs. I mostly keep my trap shut and try to promote others' voices.

Trump’s opponents are planning efforts to reverse his changes to presidency
As the midterms approach, some of the president’s foes are working to ensure his aggressive approach to executive power doesn’t outlast him.

The only reason - and I mean the ONLY reason Trump is preparing to r*pe sacred land is to explode the value of his investments in minerals. Bet in three days we’ll read that Eric or Don Jr. just bought a ton of mineral rights. Want to stop it? #VoteBlue in November. 🎁 article wapo.st/4w6WsPm

Trump again shrinks two national monuments in Utah
The president’s orders trim Grand Staircase-Escalante and Bears Ears national monuments to a small fraction of their current size.

Here's a way to us Helen Sword's "Writing BASE" exercise to think differently (and better, I think!) about mentoring students in writing. Mentoring writing is really hard! Finding ways to make it easier (and better) is worth a bunch of thought.

Broadening our writing, and mentoring, BASE
One thing that sometimes comes as a surprise to folks as they learn to write, and even more as they learn to mentor writers, is that the technical part of writing is only one piece of the challenge…

Of course Trump is looting our tax contributions: the Trump family fortune is based on looting our tax $. Trump owes his political career to mass theft of public $: If his father hadn't stolen $413,000,000 by ripping off federal housing funds, plus tax evasion, there'd be no POTUS Trump.
Summary of 2018 New York Times expose on the Trump family fortune being based on $413 million in theft of public money.

Israeli officials are pressing Christian and Druze Lebanese civilians not to provide shelter for Shia Lebanese civilians as they target them (h/t @nytimes.com). A dark, dark repetition of history. For shame that we live in a world where we have not learned from its lessons.

I realize media doesn’t think it’s a big deal that Trump, Vance & Hegseth continue to give partisan political speeches to troops, evidenced by the fact that they are never asked about it nor are members of Congress, but it is one of the most dangerous things happening right now.

ICE is allegedly hunting for Hmong people in Minneapolis and as I watched video of the incident lo and behold @whstancil.bsky.social was on the scene
ICE agents stop a car at the light by Tao Foods and Midwest One bank. Across the street from Uptown Natural Care Center. A witness said the agent asked the driver “where the Hmongs at”. Agents left after about 5 minutes. The driver was not detained and drove away after the agents left.Image of Stancil on the scene

The only synagogue in Jackson, MS burned last night. It was arson. They've been here before--they were attacked by the KKK because the rabbi spoke in favor of civil rights. They have no usable torah for services, all burned. Torahs are handmade! If you can donate a bit this week, here's a spot.

The howl where we begin. -Amanda Gorman
For Renee Nicole Good Killed by I.C.E. on January 7, 202c
by Amanda Gorman
They say she is no more. That there her absence roars. Blood-blown like a rose. Iced wheels flinched & froze. Now, bare riot of candles. Dark fury of flowers., Pure howling of hymns
If for us she arose. Somewhere, in the pitched deep of our grief Crouches our power The howl where we begin. Straining upon the edge of the crooked crater Of the worst of what we`ve been.
Change is only possible, & all the greater, When the labour & bitter anger of our neighbors Is moved by the love & better angels of our nature.

I’m at Times Square, where an emergency “No War On Venezuela” protest just took to the street. Easily a thousand people here in real-feel 20°F weather. “No more coups, no more wars, Venezuela’s not yours!” “No boots on the ground no bombs in the air, U.S. out of everywhere!”
