The Republicans that talk about needing guns to fight a tyrannical government are pretty fucking quiet right now.

Episcopal bishop @Mebudde on Trump clearing @DMVBlackLives from Lafayette square with tear gas to use @StJohnLafayette as a photo op: “I am outraged...everything he has said and done is to enflame violence...[the Bible] is about love of neighbor and sacrificial love and justice."
Predictably, Trump thinks the solution to police brutality is more aggressive police.

"The biggest problem in US high school CS education is that almost nobody takes it. Less than 5% of US high school students attend any CS classes, and the students we currently have are overwhelmingly male, white/Asian, and from wealthier schools."
We can do better. @BSUCompSci https://twitter.com/guzdial/status/1267410613761867776
This one missed #BridgeMonth by a day, but we'll let it cross.

The world's narrowest bridge is Nutty Narrows Bridge in Longview, Washington.
The bridge was built so that squirrels could cross the busy street safely.

Be honest...the night Trump was elected, isn’t this what you pictured D.C. would look like at some point? https://twitter.com/samanthajoroth/status/1267291110197657600
I confidently predict that the GOP will quash any such legislation.

We cannot allow officers who abuse their badge through racism and brutality to continue do so time and time again. I am working on legislation that would deny DOJ funds to any police department that refuses to report officers fired for misconduct to a national registry.

"Everyone, at some point in their lives, wakes up in the middle of the night with the feeling that they are all alone in the world...
The best thing to do in these circumstances is to wake somebody else up, so that they can feel this way, too."

For those who are interested in research-based solutions to stop police violence, here’s what you need to know - based on the facts and data. A thread. (1/x)
There's a whole genre of "cozy mysteries" where a murder takes place among knitters, birdwatchers, etc. What would be the strangest community in which to set one of these? I'll open the bidding at pogo stick enthusiasts.
I fear the next Bad Thing will be a COVID-19 spike after all of these public gatherings.
That or Trump will nuke Yellowstone or something.
Hundreds of thousands marched against the Iraq war, gun violence, the climate crisis, etc. and it didn't change a thing. All that seems to matter are money and votes.

If you're new to reading your students evaluations, know that you'll be simultaneously told you're wonderful/terrible, well-prepared/ill-prepared, available/unavailable, and moving too fast/too slow. You'll also get complaints about things students never mentioned all semester.
Struggling with your late policy? One student described mine as "legendary" the first semester I tried it, so maybe I've cracked that. Here it is:

Surprising result from student evaluations: I did better in the big lecture class than in the extreme active learning class ... but the comments said they didn't like the big lecture.

Camden, over the past 5 yrs, has invested heavily in de-escalation training and adopted a use-of-force policy that's been called the most progressive in the U.S., one that stresses that force should only be used as a last resort. This is one result of that. https://twitter.com/Goodable/status/1266890446669840385
