The thing about this corruption and criminality—George Santos, Clarence Thomas, Rudy Giuliani, Trump—is that it’s so obvious. So brazen. As if there’s no need to hide it.

NRA found to be little more than a Russian money laundering scheme to bribe Republicans. Almost no arrests, no news, and Republicans now wear AR-15 pins during and after school shootings.

So Sen. Feinstein's medical condition is worse than she's disclosed, and the newly disclosed issue is one affecting cognition and memory.

This is incredibly sad for her and her family, and they deserve sympathy.

But she should have retired years ago, and absolutely should step down now.

The real danger is not inaction. The real danger is when politicians and CEOs are making it look like action is happening when in fact nothing is being done.
Greta Thunburg

The Nazis did not successfully murder millions because every German was a Nazi. They succeeded because not enough Germans were anti-Nazi.

You have the power to stop it from happening again. All it takes is the willingness to stand up and fight.

A freshman Democrat brought receipts to the GOP's hearing on D.C. crime - MSNBC as @joyannreid would say, Representative Crockett won the week. #NotPlaying apple.news/Az5aqQjqJT-mj_ci9bY

I find that when I get more stressed the first two things to go are my gratitude and grace for my coworkers and students. It is their gratitude and grace that helps me realize this and take time to recenter myself, highlighting the importance of the community and culture we develop that can uplift us when needed.

@Gemmaclark14 @edutooters I am very excited about getting the book in the fall and reading it!

@edutooters

Bettina Love's new book now available for pre-order. Follow-up to We Want to Do More than Survive.
A must read for those interested in improving education in the US

This is the message. Shout it from the rooftops and beat the GOP to death with it.

The IRS has quietly built its own prototype system to allow Americans to file tax returns digitally and free of charge, according to three current and former agency officials, essentially creating government software that could disrupt the industry.

The next medical show should show doctors in hospitals telling women they have to wait until they are almost dead to treat them for pregnancy related issues.

I'm working on decolonizing the citations in my articles and talks and finally figured out that SciELO has an AMAZING database of articles from the Global South!
You can search scielo.org/ just like you would Google Scholar

The stigma around remote work is coming from the top—CEOs who are likely high-earning, older white men with stay-at-home wives. Instead of creating supportive workplaces, they are telling moms that flexibility is not compatible with advancement.

Wonder what happens when a white supremacist dictator type isn't restrained after a coup attempt.🙄

I already argued with fools leading up to 2016. I'm done with that.

@ndporter @edutooters
Yes.
1) students need to seek accommodations on their own. If/when they get them, they are usually pretty limited in most cases (more test taking time etc)
2) There are inflexible credentialing requirements, for example in California, 600 field-based hours, and then of course there is the edTPA or other assessment that is very long and writing intensive. Extra challenges for those who are not adept at writing or organizing large tasks
3) many, if not most programs that I have encountered don't provide much additional flexibility partly based on the requirements above, and partly based on local rigidity and inflexibility

1. Kansas recently enacted a "Women's Bill of Rights"

The new law is part of a well-financed and systematic campaign to establish anti-trans policies nationwide

It is being coordinated by a secretive group that has opposed policies to protect and expand women's rights
