Many if not most of us in the US have thought that since his first term, and I know that most of the people throughout the world have thought the same. The bad guys cheat, or none of this would have happened. But the support he still has is discouraging.

Projection, as usual. If he had condemned Russia for invading Ukraine, as any decent president would have done, it would have helped. Instead, he actually convinced many Americans that we shouldn't help Ukraine. I'd love a president like Zelensky.

Right, because if you listen to both sides, it's clear that the animal was to blame. 🤔

Call me crazy, but maybe two men who fathered 19 children with 7 different women shouldn’t be lecturing us about family values.

As Hegseth pushes for troops to take testosterone, here are the side effects: worsening sleep apnea, prostate hyperplasia & growth of existing prostate cancer, enlarged breasts, shrinking testicles & the potential for blood clots potentially leading to death. Let him take it.

Sounds like he thinks girlfriends are made in factories. Without feelings. I'm okay with gov dispensing blow-up dolls to incels. But human beings? Does he know women are human beings? Doesn't seem like it. He sounds even worse than he did when I first saw this thread. And he sounded really bad then.

Hi friends, As many of you know, ICE is operating in ways that tear families apart, enter homes without warrants, and traumatize innocent people. This is not law enforcement — this is terror and an abuse of power.

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum. Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum. Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum. ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

Of course, Trump and Republicans doing what they always do. Same tired playbook. Blaming Democrats, the victim, and the media for another Border Patrol atrocity. They will never accept responsibility for anything and will do everything they can to distract and deflect.

Good. I admire you for doing that. If I stop working (mostly teaching kids to read, and I will not stop doing that), I won't be able to get even rice or beans. And even if you live in a tent, you need to pay for the land. I'm doing what I can to just be ok.

MizJan @janet444.bsky.social · 25/01/2026
In a thread with so few people? No, it's not odd at all. The evidence is there. We know how kids learn to read, and those of us who have learned the best methods are succeeding at helping kids learn to read.

So I'm getting excellent results because I'm "teaching reading wrong"? Did you read the article? Have you read anything about SoR and studies proving the efficacy of methods grounded in SoR? Please learn more about this subject before making such hasty assumptions.

Okay - but I cannot do it now. Yes, I'm not ready for the risk. But right now I'm working on doing what I can. Can you do it? If you can, please do, and let me know, because that would be a very good thing.

MizJan @janet444.bsky.social · 14/01/2026
The headline is misleading. The article itself shows that it is taking time to implement it, and of course it's taking time for older kids to do well, since they started learning to read using an ineffective method. The 74 article is good but the headline is really bad.

That is blatantly false. Look up the research. It's called the Science of Reading because it's based on evidence using high-quality RCTs.

No. That wasn't my point. My point was that I don't think this will work AND many of us simply cannot do it.

MizJan @janet444.bsky.social · 14/01/2026
Please read beyond the headline and open the article before making any conclusions. As a tutor, I know even a little SoR instruction can make a huge difference. I do have the advantage of working with students one-on-one, but SoR just means it's supported by evidence, and that matters.

I just read the article, and there are clear reasons for this. It's important to read the article.

While Rs are despicable, this is one area where, surprisingly, they are on the side of evidence. I don't know if they're still pro SoR now. But as a tutor and a Democrat, I can tell you we have evidence of what does and doesn't work. Schools need to implement it with care, and often they don't.

MizJan @janet444.bsky.social · 14/01/2026
When SoR doesn't work, it's usually because it's being implemented incorrectly.

I added my own two cents, including a request for the state to pass a law against ICE agents wearing masks and also asking them to sue ICE agents for their crimes. There is a form letter, but you can change some of it. action.aclu.org/send-message...

Tell Massachusetts lawmakers: Pass reforms to protect Massachusetts communities from ICE's abuse!
Cooperating with ICE only empowers agents to stoke fear in our communities. Ask lawmakers to pass these simple reforms to ensure Massachusetts is not complicit in ICE's dirty work.

TBH, I don't see this having any effect. Most of us can't afford to stop working. Most of us can't afford to only shop local or eat at independent restaurants. I wish we could, but even if we could, we'd need a carefully coordinated plan that would give the GOP in Congress a reason to impeach Trump.
