The plea agreement with Samuel Ross was damning. Does this mean we can stop “disrupting”?

Samuel Ross turned on Horton and pled guilty. Recommended sentencing is 37-48 months. Hearing for other 3 defendants tomorrow morning.

I had a post on my Facebook page “break containment” … and it is great political training for practicing restraint.

Really good piece. As a parent and someone in the middle of redistricting conversations/reader of NHJ, I am curious why academic tracking was not here- I don’t know what quadrant it would be in, but it is top of parents’ minds. We had a rising 6th grader meeting… (1/x)

In news on our indicted former superintendent: One of his co-defendants, Samuel Ross, is changing his plea from not-guilty. Ross’ texts with Horton were published by the government. The joke is the work was fake. Can’t imagine why he would try to avoid trial. 👊🏻🥂

Listened to the This American Life with Nikole Hannah-Jones and have some of the same takeaways. (1) All this is taking place in a school district that is majority Hispanic and that is not mentioned in article or episode. (2) NHJ cannot distinguish between educational neglect & customer service.

I am looking forward to listening. We are currently redistricting and this piece came at an opportune time. Our current planning team says new magnets are unreasonable. The NHJ piece indicates we should revisit this. Redistricting should serve operational goals AND educational goals.

I have been on Bluesky for 2 years and … I just cannot find the conversations I used to have on old Twitter. I have a “ghost” Twitter account to check news and everyone is talking about the Nicole Hannah-Jones piece. I want that to have those conversations here.

Can’t stop thinking of this! I guess I don’t see advoxacy for other children in the story? The parents at PS307 actually got the principal replaced after Hannah-Jones left. This is advocacy. Messy advocacy, but still. Of course, principal was moved to central. www.change.org/p/please-hel...

The government’s case against our indicted superintendent dropped last night. Trial starts 10/21. Here is a text of him and his friend laughing about stealing from kids via a no-show contract. About half (?) of the kickbacks only started AFTER he accepted the job with DCSD.

When I went through my mom’s stuff after she passed away, I found my junior year fall tuition bill for Syracuse. I lived off campus at my sorority house. My Stafford paid for that, leaving my parents’ balance to be $34. I left college with $12k in student loans, mostly for housing. Different time!

Everyone forgot that Ossoff is the man who in December 2020, looked directly into a Fox News camera and said, “Kelly Loeffler is campaigning with a Klansman” multiple times. And won the race 6 days later.

I am biased because I just won a school board election… but if you read education news and read parent posts, even the normies are mad about things Abbott has done to the schools and they are activated. The election has 2021 NJ vibes.

I cannot think of a worse result for this race- 3 flawed candidates with no mandate for the winner. Georgia’s runoff system is horrible for many reasons, but going forward with an arrogant candidate in a statewide race where 50%+ voters rejected him is not great for the seat. Good luck, Michigan.

He’s on his way to speak at a high school in Cobb County. It is a shameful rally on public school property. Their school board is partisan and if Michael Garza gets elected, the last political body in Cobb would turn Democratic and this nonsense would end.

I think I can’t stop following the MI campaign because it reminds me a bit of my down ballot race. It reinforces why people won’t run for office. My opponent posted on Facebook that I set a bad example for kids and my son overheard it at the pool. Also, I am not telegenic. But you still do it.

OpenAI (unprofitable) is burning investor cash to prop up Oracle (down 35% with debt at nearly “junk” status) while Anthropic (profitable but possibly because of sweetheart deals on compute) is doing the same for SpaceX (no earnings, PE ratio ♾️) — have I got all this right?

I have so many thoughts about the Platner stuff. One is that when we say we want “working class” voters, we mean low propensity voters. And the more we pretend otherwise, the deeper we get. 2nd, as a woman of a certain age, there is a level of “bro” ness I can’t take. See Piker.
