Newton Cooper @newtoncooper.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Exactly. At this point that makes me the angriest. 130
Newton Cooper @newtoncooper.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Spot on. Of all McJulie’s spot on comments (and they are legion), this may be the most spot onest. 052
Newton Cooper @newtoncooper.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Another great thread from McJulie. Read it all 120
Newton Cooper @newtoncooper.bsky.social · 07/09/2026This is a great thread. In addition to the points Bret is making, it gets at some things that have bothered me for some time, namely the denigrating of K-12 educators , particularly primary school teachers. It should go without saying that elite profs like Bret should get accolades. 100
Newton Cooper @newtoncooper.bsky.social · 07/09/2026But Harris wasn’t emphatic enough about no more wars in the Middle East so, hey, what’s a voter to do? 000
Newton Cooper @newtoncooper.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Absolutely disgusting what happened to Annie who is an actual teacher and scholar of education. But I’m beginning to think these attacks are more malevolent than ignorant. 120
Newton Cooper @newtoncooper.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Looks like Annie Abrams has quit BlueSky after being the victim of another pile on. That makes me very sad as I really valued her perspectives from the POV of a current teacher. 330
Reposted by Newton CooperGeoff @aljawf.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Du Bois wrote an amazing essay where he explains in time, to white christians how they did it. Newton's (pun intended) law of every action having a reciprocal. He vividly walks the reader through how this faith's thinking permutated to maintain white supremacy until even skin color meant status. 011
Newton Cooper @newtoncooper.bsky.social · 07/09/2026I knew Charles Spurgeon was passionately anti-slavery. “'I do, from my inmost soul, detest slavery anywhere and everywhere, and although I commune at the Lord’s table with men of all creeds, yet with a slaveholder I have no fellowship of any sort or kind.'” I did not realize he admired John Brown. 110
Newton Cooper @newtoncooper.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Thread is spot on. I'm angry over so many things right now I can barely even focus. But we can't give in to the tendency to generalize ("Trump bad"). We have to hammer the specifics. Who knows what will move any individual voter? Keep hammering away at all of this. 100
Newton Cooper @newtoncooper.bsky.social · 07/09/2026If you follow Annie at all you KNOW this is true. (Though all caps for emphasis would surely draw a red mark from her if I were her student.) She’s really changed my perspective in a lot of ways. 030
Newton Cooper @newtoncooper.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Sadly, I’m very prepared for 4 of the Supremes to greenlight Trump’s attempt to do this. 020
Newton Cooper @newtoncooper.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Everything Dr. Powers says. Also … Annie teaches literature (reading) so let’s practice that here on BlueSky before punching on a 250 character post. 010

Newton Cooper @newtoncooper.bsky.social · 05/09/2026I feel like the "big box" grocery chains are a metaphor for Trump's America: large, gaudy, with lots of overpriced choices, and a small, dispirited workforce. In other words, they are "hollowed out" facades. IMO Albertsons is better than Vons (the local Kroger-owned store) so this will be worse. 1/ 101

Reposted by Newton CooperIsabelle Roughol @isabelleroughol.com · 03/09/2026I saw Gloria Steinem speak in Sydney in 2015. It was the peak of a dumb social media trend of young women filming themselves saying “l’m not a feminist”. “What do we tell them?” someone in the audience asked. “Life will take care of it,” Gloria responded. I think about this probably once a week. 15413

Reposted by Newton CooperAbacus Wizard @abacuswizard.bsky.social · 02/09/2026And it seems to me that the Republican Death Cult REALLY started pushing the anti-trans rhetoric immediately after the Supreme Court butchered Roe v Wade, presumably because they knew they weren’t going to be able to mobilize the base with anti-abortion rhetoric anymore, so they needed a new target. 3553
Newton Cooper @newtoncooper.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Funny how the same people who are so fearful of immigrants taking “our” jobs and depleting “our” resources are also desperate for white women to have more children. (Can’t have women playing sports or going to college when they could be having babies.) Scratching my head as to why this could be? 000
