I love seeing a bio like, "I am the warrior you need to fear" or, "she was the storm that destroyed the calm of her enemies" and it's like ok whoa there Heather you live in a modest ranch style house in Grand Forks, ND and run an in-home daycare.

“What does labor want? We want more schoolhouses and less jails; more books and less arsenals; more learning and less vice; more leisure and less greed; more justice and less revenge…more of the opportunities to cultivate our better natures… .” ~Samuel Gompers, 1893.

This new data compiled by @mattbarnum.bsky.social is invaluable. It makes clear that worries about the teacher shortage, downplayed by contrarians, were and are warranted. Importantly, it raises a largely ignored factor affecting student mental health, behavior, and academic success.

A ‘lost generation’ of teachers left the classroom. Schools are still dealing with the consequences.
Veteran teachers left, principals cycled through too, and high-poverty schools likely faced the greatest strain. Here’s what years of churn did to classrooms.

It’s been a hard and yet triumphant year for Minnesota. Ordinary people have been targeted by their fellow countrymen, and made heroic sacrifices for their neighbors. So, appropriate to remember that 163 years ago today, 262 average Minnesotans sacrificed themselves at the Battle of Gettysburg.

The first thing he says when trying to define the American Dream is that he wants to be able to get married, and then the first "threat" to that dream he identifies is schools treating LGBT people as equal. Yeah man, they want to be able to get married to the person they love and everything.

This video is a perfect encapsulation of the TPUSA world view. If you’re straight, cis, and Christian, then you are a real American, and your “civilization” is existentially threatened by Islam, LGBTQ folks, “wokeism,” and Marxism. Those last two phantoms are of course, never defined.

In addition to being a Hollywood star, Hedy Lamarr co-invented frequency-hopping technology. She created it as a way for Allied torpedoes to defeat Nazi signal jamming, but it later became a foundational technology for wireless communications, including cell phones, Bluetooth, and WiFi.
