The framing in The Daily today is insane. "Trump administration is penalizing dissent by withholding research funding" is presented as "Harvard has a problem" instead of "We're living in an autocracy and we all have a problem"

Dismantling the Department of Education has nothing to do with improving outcomes for our kids, it’s simply about taking away resources from our public schools.

ANYWAY, did you know there's an extension you can put on Chrome that will connect with your local library system and when you go look at a book, say on AMZ, it will tell you if that book exists in the library system and if it's available? It's literally called Library Extension.

Most people probably aren’t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

With some weird testing schedules, I ended up with a bit of extra prep time this week—which I used to send a handful of positive notes home, offer needed feedback for recent student writing, and research ways to improve an upcoming project. Oh, what a thing it is to give teachers more time...

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990. One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS. #LGBTplusHistoryMonth
A square canvas. Only the top corner is filled with Harings distinctive figures, rendered in Lavender, the rest is blank.

This is beyond pseudohistory, it’s dangerous. Pure fascism. It is a FACT that Stonewall, riots that changed LGBTQ rights globally, would not have happened without the lead of trans & non-binary people. To erase them, in this way, is despicable, cowardly & to appease Nazism.

New from me: In 1970, only 1 in 5 students with disabilities went to public school. Now, about 15% of students in public schools receive special education services. Eliminating the Department of educatio would have disastrous consequences. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

“The administration’s war on D.E.I. is of a piece with a broader effort to turn the nation’s civil rights laws upside down, taking weapons forged to fight racial subordination and wielding them, instead, against any effort…to ameliorate racial inequality and end invidious racial discrimination.”

Opinion | Trump’s War on D.E.I. Is Really a War on Civil Rights
The genius of the right-wing crusade against D.E.I. is that the term is amorphous enough that it can mean many different things to many different people.

"Gulf of America" is just a loyalty test. It's a way of checking who is going to abrogate reality for no reason other than a cowardly refusal to stand up to the bully or an opportunistic willingness to toady up to one. Anyone who will call it that will help you round people up or look the other way.

What can we learn from watching Kendrick Lamar at the Super Bowl halftime show about our pedagogy as educators? How would a holistic pedagogy help us all build towards democracy? Click here to read more!

The Pedagogy of Kendrick Lamar at the Super Bowl Halftime Show
Can we talk about Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl Halftime performance for a bit? Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl halftime show stirred America's cultural pot over the last two days. Naysayers' opinions have run the gamut from "I didn't get it" to "It was too Black for me," a sure sign that Lamar's performance worked. Nothing about Lamar's musical tapestry suggests he would dilute his discography for people who refuse to get it.

Truly craven to talk about the POTUS's limited ability to affect inflation and ignore all of the other inflationary actions Trump is taking by destroying the CPFB and repealing regulations that protect consumers, including the many that Biden pushed for in his term.
