ELC ED @bob-kim.bsky.social breaks down disparities between U.S military funding and public education funding.

The takeaway: the federal government claims to have no money for public education and other public goods, but is spending billions on war. 🤔 #publiceducation #schoolfunding

Yup. Just shared but happy to do it again!

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Q: They defied a search warrant this morning. Do you think they'll abide by a federal court order?

FREY: Everybody listen to that question. The question is 'will this administration abide by a court order.' These are the underpinnings of our democracy and Constitution. The answer better be yes.

Federal Funds for Community Schools Fall Victim to a New Round of Trump Cuts The latest round of grant cuts hits a program that helps schools provide more social services on site.

Community schools are lifelines. They provide food, health care, counseling, and real support so kids can learn. Gutting their funding isn’t “budget discipline”, it’s abandoning students, families, and educators who are already doing more with less.

Card reads: write down 3 - 5 things you're grateful for...anything from a caring friend to a favorite food or a place in nature they love.

Invite students to write down 3-5 things they’re grateful for.

Share that “gratitude practice” has been shown to have a multitude of benefits. It can allow us to focus on the present and turn away from negative emotions we may feel and encourage empathy.

March 7, 1965: Bloody Sunday To protest the police murder of Jimmie Lee Jackson and for voting rights, more than 600 people began a peaceful march from Selma to Montgomery.

#tdih 1965 Bloody Sunday in Selma, Alabama.

While corporate media focused on the march, the violence against African Americans had a long history.

So did the organizing by Black sharecroppers, teachers, students, & more.

WWII vet Louis Allen was murdered #tdih 1964. 💔

Why?

Allen was willing to testify about murder he had witnessed of African American NAACP member & SNCC supporter Herbert Lee by a white state legislator.

FBI refused protection. #TeachVotingRights🧵
