I’m working on something for a talk, in the stage where I’m writing lots of notes and trying to organize it. Then I remember my district’s AI policy, that students should be encouraged to use AI for outlining and brainstorming and wince.

please remember that no matter how many “ICE is losing in MN” articles you read today, there is still a very real, urgent, ongoing crisis in Minnesota. people need food and they need rent money. that has not changed.

Police, not ICE, arrested around 100 clergy *yesterday* for participating in peaceful resistance against ICE. If Minnesota has "had it" then MN Democrats should do something about it and quit criminalizing the people willing to put their actual bodies on the line to say they've had it!

Once again: Focusing on their lack of training is a mistake. With "better training," their violence would simply cost more, and they would still kill whoever they wanted, but make it look more professional — to make people more comfortable, the way many of you are at ease with local police violence.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

A buddy in MN shared a drawing a classmate of his kid made. They've been making thank you notes for parents who have volunteered to carpool them to school so their own parents don't have to risk waiting out by the bus stop.

When I was student teaching, the university observer asked me if I realized how much I sigh during instruction. She asked “what’s that about?” I told her to pull up a chair. I don’t think she laughed. Nowadays I can’t imagine what my ratio of sighs:class must be.

Thinking about the Jill Lepore “students got difficult in 2016” thing: there’s a point for all of us when “youth opinion,” such as it is, no longer feels intuitive. It happened for me in the last few years. To understand where they’re coming from, you might have to do a little research.

This AFT state council delegate agrees 1000%. Historically, one drawback to the "union of professionals" branding is that it has often provided cover for collaborations with management that are bad for education and bad for education *workers*. No need for my union to boost AI in this way.

At tonight’s Philly School Board meeting, they tried to make people show ID to get in, tried to say only registered speakers could sit in the auditorium, and I believe they set up rows of 6 chairs compared to previous meetings having 8-9.
