When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

There is no excuse on God’s earth for people to have to choose between food and the medicine they need to stay alive.
#HappyNowruz to everyone who is celebrating! One of my coworkers is sharing her beautiful cultural traditions and the history behind Persian New Year, and I was fortunate enough to be invited!
Why is Trump waging a war on the Department of Education?
Because he knows that his biggest enemies are educators and younger generations of learners who are unafraid to speak truth to power.
Attacks on education are central to the fascist playbook.
He’s threatening the constitutional rights of Americans. He’ll eventually get to the 2nd one…
This past week, we've received notifications from Google first removing parts of our website (a Google site), then targeting our Google Slide Presentations on Antibias & Antiracist Art Education and all other presentations with similar terminology.
Out of the 12,000 civil rights complaints the Education Department has put on hold since Trump took office:
• 6,000 relate to mistreatment of disabled students
• 1,000 are specific to sexual harassment/violence
• 3,200 pertain to racial discrimination
So proud of my students for braving the below freezing temps here in Dallas to come take the #TELPAS exam!
Majority of these students don’t live far away enough from the school to qualify for the bus, so they have to walk 20-30 minutes to and from school.

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

This Super Bowl Sunday, here's a reminder of what real courage looks like.
Over the years, I have spent tens of thousands of dollars at Target.
It has been my go to do so many things.
It may take a little extra time, but I will find alternatives rather than to keep shopping there.
They don’t want my business, cool. Bet.

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.
With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.
You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

BREAKING NEWS:
“Federal immigration authorities will be permitted to arrest people and carry out enforcement actions in and near places such as churches and schools, marking a departure from long-standing policy to avoid so-called sensitive areas.”
This is in a new Trump order
Had another kid talk to me in private today to ask what his mom could do to protect herself from being deported.
16 years old and already put in charge of seeking help from a neighbor and a lawyer in case mom doesn’t come home one day 💔
Protect your students & remind them they’re loved! #EduSky
Heartless. Cruel.
On a blue to white ombré background, in black text the meme reads “Oligarchy (noun): A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase over time as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets to their advantage, and create or exploit economic monopolies that put even more wealth into their pockets.”
Good morning, skeeters. Today, we continue the fight.
Remember this,
X, Threads, Facebook, Instagram and TikTok have all kissed the ring of darkness.
BlueSky is our only social media salvation. We must protect it. 🦋
I love this so much!
At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions.
This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.
‘Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.’ — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
On #MLKDay, we honor his legacy by choosing love over hate, justice over injustice, and hope over fear.

It’s started… my perfectly crafted algorithm on TikTok is now showing me right-wing propaganda from people I’ve never interacted with before.
It’s all one big scam and they were all in on it together…
