ICE has detained over 6,200 children during President Donald Trump’s second term, according to recently released numbers analyzed by the Marshall Project.
Advocates warn trauma from detentions will cause kids lifelong damage.

Happy Friday! Excited to share this invite for in-person workshops with @morningsidectr.bsky.social
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!
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.
Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
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.
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.

💔 RIP Sly Stone.
A revolutionary sound. An integrated band. A message of love, defiance, & liberation.
No Prince without Sly. No Funkadelic. No Miles Davis fusion.
His music makes him immortal.
Thank you, Sly, for changing everything.

#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.
Read about the UNIA, DCVL, SNCC⬇️.

#tdih 1857 SCOTUS declared in horrific 💔 Dred Scott v. Sandford ruling that:
"Any person descended from Africans, whether enslaved or free, is not a citizen of the U.S."
Lerone Bennett Jr. called it one of the decade's “three ominous developments.”

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🧵
