RFK Jr. did not come up with idea that diet is important to health. This has been promoted for decades, including, famously, by Michelle Obama.
In fact, he doesn’t even believe it himself.
If he did he’d be busy making sure kids in the U.S. had enough to eat, instead of cutting food benefits.
Just a reminder to buy all kinds of books for your kids...weird ones, new ones, old ones, debuts etc.
That popular series they love is great, and it probably began as a single book which took off.
With cool imprints closing, we need to bring in more voices, more ideas, more variety.

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.
FYI, Academia.edu has changed its terms of service to give an irrevocable worldwide license for anything uploaded to its site to be used for generative AI. I do not consent to this and have pulled all my papers.
BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.
This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.
This is so great!
I wanted to lay on the floor & cry
I gave a 30-min lecture for my asynch class & forgot to hit record. 😖
This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

This is enraging & terrifying.
If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. It’s ridiculous.
"People get used to anything. The less you think about your oppression, the more your tolerance for it grows. After a while, people just think oppression is the normal state of things. But to become free, you have to be acutely aware of being a slave."

In case you're wondering why AI is pushing so hard into education, that last bullet point is why. Get consumers hooked in young and they're likely to stay. And get embedded enough into classrooms and curriculum and the education system can't function without it - ie permanent consumers.
Thanks so much for sharing this! I have an async class & I want to do something different for readings.
This is a really excellent strategy!
I’m in a DEI PD session on the new federal laws/EOs impacting higher ed & the overwhelming sense of dread in the room is suffocating. Admissions, curriculum, loans, grants, etc. are all under attack.
In honor of Batman Day, I give you a sneak peek into my Eisner nominated book and a powerful discussion starter in my classroom.
Another SCOTUS decision that makes me cry, totally normal times
WTF? Trump is now threatening the American people. He warned protesters to stay away from his birthday/military parade in D.C. this Saturday, claiming anyone who shows up to protest “hates our country” and will be met with “very heavy force.” This is authoritarian behavior, plain and simple.

Need more memes in my teaching!
I asked my grad students to share an image that captures how they are feeling about their research & one student made this. It’s perfection! #TeacherEd #Research
Every book that was part of my dissertation study has been banned. Every. Book.
The freedom to read is vital for students to see themselves & others in books. Diverse books for everyone. Go get some books!

Scott McCloud and Raina Telgemeier showing off THE CARTOONISTS CLUB. They’re both dressed in black and white, in front of a pink and black background evoking comic book panels.
I know the world is on fire, but @scottmccloud.bsky.social and I have a book out today!
THE CARTOONISTS CLUB is our love letter to comics, made for that nerdy kid in the corner with the sketchbook. We suggest you visit your local comic shop, indie bookstore, or library to check it out!
They are arresting people on the streets, terminating their visas, and disappearing them for writing things they disagree with. This is where we are. Two months in. Right now. If you think they won’t begin coming after citizens soon, you are mistaken.
“The first people a dictator puts in jail after a coup are the writers, the teachers, the librarians —because these people are dangerous. They have enough vocabulary to recognize injustice and to speak out loudly about it. Let us have the courage to go on being dangerous people.”
—Madeleine L’Engle
It’s worth saying that book sales are down across the board so far in 2025. If you love authors, buy their books and celebrate them loudly online. We really need it.
