Knowing someone paid 10k for you in the 80s doesn’t make you feel loved. It makes you feel exploited.

As we knew he would, Trump is targeting the American education system & severely restricting the fiscal means for impoverished people to go to school

Please know my nonprofit will ALWAYS fight against this

LADIES, I’ll pay for your education. Apply before 2/27

It's time to watch videos.

Angela Davis, Malcom X, Fred Hampton, James Baldwin, Huey P Newton, Rev Dr MLK JR videos...

1) Qual study of CCSD surveillance (CPS, language, etc)

2) how often are multilingual students banned from using L1 *at home*

Hi Bluesky! I’m new here 🥰 leaving the other hellscapes
