Civilization is mostly people doing necessary work while the rest of us barely notice. The work is individual. The power is collective. Happy Labor Day.

Frustrating is an understatement when I work at a Title I school where 95% of our students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. These are the students who need our investment most.

I keep thinking I’m living in a Black Mirror episode, except it’s the one where the writers lost the plot and decided realism was optional. Every time I think, “Surely this is too ridiculous,” somehow it gets worse. At this point, I’m not even sure there’s anything left that could surprise us.

Same department where we saw video a week ago of these insane steroid-filled hogs punching an 18-year-old Black girl in the face repeatedly. Modern policing is directly descended from slave-catching rings. Racism is hardwired into police DNA. We MUST defund the police & redesign public safety.

Mini flyer reads:

GOOD TROUBLE

"For the past 18 months, we the people have allowed the highest levels of the executive branch of the federal police and government to violate our Constitution and their oath to it with impunity,"

Father: War is hell. 
Hawkeye: War isn’t hell. War is war and hell is hell and of the two war is a lot worse. 
Father: How do you figure that?
Hawkeye: Easy father. Tell me who goes to hell? 
Father: Sinners, I believe. 
Hawkeye: Exactly, there are no innocent bystanders in Hell. But war is chock full of them. Little kids, cripples, and old ladies. In fact, except for a few of the brass, almost everybody involved is an innocent bystander.

Some parts of motherhood are not celebratory at all. They’re just loving people through pain and hoping connection keeps finding its way back. Some days motherhood is less about feeling appreciated and more about continuing to love people through things you cannot fix for them. ❤️

Iran is declaring victory after Trump agreed to ceasefire, saying the U.S. adopted its terms—and it's hard to see it any other way.

Iran’s leadership is openly celebrating what it calls a “crushing defeat” for the United States after Donald Trump agreed to a two-week ceasefire and acknowledged using Iran’s own 10-point framework as the basis for negotiations.

Iran’s Supreme National Security Council says the U.S. has effectively accepted its core demands—including continued Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz, acceptance of uranium enrichment, lifting sanctions, and even discussions of compensation and U.S. troop withdrawal. Essentially, Trump has, for now, given Iran everything they asked for.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry confirmed the same framework, stating safe passage through the Strait will now be coordinated under Iranian control during the ceasefire period.

So looking at statements from the U.S. and Iran, it seems clear Trump didn’t bring Iran to the table on U.S. terms—he appears to have moved negotiations onto Iran’s terms.

After days of escalating rhetoric, including Trump's threat that "a whole civilization will die tonight," Trump has now reversed course and is embracing the very proposal Iran put forward that a U.S. official called "maximalist" just yesterday.

For now, the world should breathe a sigh of relief Trump has backed down, though it feels that this was less of a "TACO"—and more of a surrender.

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

53 years ago today, the last U.S. combat troops left South Vietnam, ending America’s direct role in the Vietnam War. I remember seeing this anti-war PSA back then. Its message is sadly still very relevant today as Trump drags us into another unpopular war.

Edward R. Murrow famously used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s. He got his start on CBS Radio, which will sadly be shut down after nearly 100 years of operation. We need more journalists holding the powerful accountable like this.

Auschwitz Memorial @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social · 27/01/2026
Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.
A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.
