Man, when I post anything on X, it's like I'm speaking into a black hole. I super miss the interaction and collaboration amongst teachers from 2020-2021.

I'm really glad you joined this platform, Mr. Vice President! It would be awesome to see real discussion and not trolling like other politicians. Welcome! 🇺🇸

What has the Trump administration done with its first 100 days? Well, so much that some of it is easy to miss, even if you pay close attention to the news. Discuss with your students using this @pbsnews.org Classroom lesson. #sschat #EduSky bit.ly/4hRiMoD

History speaks. Europe’s lessons from a century ago can wake up and inspire our democracy…in 2025 America. Stream my hour-long special “Rick Steves’ The Story of Fascism in Europe” at www.ricksteves.com/fascism.

@jonahg.bsky.social Just now on CNN you suggested a couple authors. I heard Applebaum, but what was the other author you suggested?

I'm definitely going to buy that one. Toledo has lived through the hits that Detroit has taken, but is definitely not what it could have been. Detroit is so sprawling it's almost like Toledo is a suburb.

Should we tack on one year of school and get "caught up" from the pandemic? In rural OH we took off 1 quarter, but there were tons of outages through quarantine. If we took a year to redo, would that do more benefit, or do we just need the workers? #sschat 🍎 🗺️

Side note- I'm not getting the trolls and "adult content" things on this app the way I was on X. Is that a just for now thing? Is there a bigger vetting process here?

Awesome. I read 2 of the 3 (not his newest). I did a study abroad last summer in Germany & Poland (you probably already knew that) and his work was cited there as a key resource to learn about genocide and fascism.

Ugh. I hate *so much* that my typo from the intended "butt kicking" to "butt kinking" cannot be undone. It gives a completely different visual to the sincere concern. 😳

I'm looking for books and documentaries about Mussolini. Hitler gets all the attention and it's unfortunate because Mussolini is who paved the way.

So, I guess I'm looking for rational discussion on this thread. Most of us are alarmed, but let's not fear monger or bash - let's discuss professionally and bring these events into context.

I am increasingly shocked at the Canada takeover fantasy. I thought this was bloviating for a better trade deal, but it actually seems like it is actually in his mind. I watched the attached segment and it had me alarmed about all of this foreign policy stuff www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4rt...

My alarm is over the purges in the top brass - it feels somewhat Soviet 1930s. And, all I can think about is how that strategy led to a total butt kinking of the Soviets by the Germans due to inept military leadership. Not good. I don't want to enter our ass-kicked era, Mennonite though I am.

I think the slashing of agencies is necessary in a fiscal sense, and I support reducing the size of our gov't in principle. That principle is mainly based on fiscal responsibility, where I believe that if we want a service, we should be taxed for it. So, ultimately, I believe we should raise taxes.

#sschat 🍎 🗺️ Friends, I try to maintain a historical viewpoint of modern events, but I am increasingly alarmed about the blitzkrieg the feds are propagating. As we are only 1 month in, and have 27 months to go, I need some historical comfort from my peers. 🧵👇

Assuming the executive maintains the pace and direction, and assuming the legislative remains passive, how can America have another balanced gov't? It's difficult to claw back power, and anyone who cedes the power back looks like a Calvin C type of president. Have we entered our Authoritarian Era?
