The version of "Born in the USA" that Bruce Springsteen wanted to release originally- he was told it wouldn't sell. Seems fitting for today

the story today is of a profoundly low energy military parade being met with millions of americans in nationwide protests denouncing the dictatorial pretensions of the president

Forgot to add alt text- photos of two slides with information about how to prepare and support families in the event someone is detained by ICE.

Some of this information is specific to Montgomery County (Maryland), but a lot of it is nationally applicable. If you have the privilege of citizenship, especially if you're white, now is the time to familiarize ourselves with how to protect our neighbors and communities from ICE.

I would say probably every major US city. I live near DC and the crowd for his 'parade' was very small. The other really cool thing is that small towns/communities all over the country also had protests, which we rarely see. That inspired me even more than the big cities.

So glad to see this migrated from twitter over to bluesky! I was missing the OCD community

I am so thankful that my daughter's pediatrician offered MMR at 6 months because of this outbreak. A reminder that adult immunity to measles can wane over time, so it's always safe to get a booster. We have to protect each other, because this administration certainly won't.

do you think the new pope has tried malort

This is very true. And at the same time, autistic people with high support needs who will never be able to live independently or have a job are also fully worthy of a dignified life. Not participating in capitalism doesn't make someone a tragedy.

RFK called autism a "tragedy" that "destroys families and children". Lack of supports and resources is a tragedy. Ableism is a tragedy. Loss of medicaid and section 504 would be a tragedy. Our current administration is a catastrophic tragedy. But autism is not and never will be a tragedy.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

Today is International Transgender Day of Visibility — a time to celebrate the strength, beauty, and resilience of trans people around the world. Join us in uplifting trans voices, honoring their contributions, and standing up to the discrimination they continue to face.

Our goal should always be to presume competence and honor the inherent dignity of every single student we work with.

As we honor Women’s History Month, let’s remember the strength and resilience of enslaved women who fought for freedom and shaped history. Their resilience continues to inspire the fight for justice today. 165 days to Slavery Remembrance Day. #CountDowntoSRD

My daughter isn't old enough to have the MMR vaccine. If you have the ability to vaccinate your children and choose not to, you are endangering not only your own child but your entire community.

Just so we’re clear: There is NO version of reality where dissolving the Department of Education isn’t a spectacularly bad idea. “But we’ll save money!” Oh right, because gutting education has always led to a stronger economy and a more successful country. My bad, my bad 🤡🤡

Ramadan Mubarak to all my friends and colleagues who are observing. May this be a month of peace and transformation for you 🌙♥️

This won't stop at removal from the military. This administration is trying to complete erase trans existence, by any means necessary. It's up to all of us to protect our trans brothers and sisters.

Love this. I reported Elon for gender-affirming care (hair plugs). We must protect our children against the radical left!!

Im excited to take place in the economic blackout boycott tomorrow.
I hope you'll join me and millions of others.

The Trump admin has set up a DEI snitch line at Linda McMahon's department of ed. enddei.ed.gov

You know what to do.

Become ungovernable.

Back at you 😍

This Valentine's Day, I'm focusing on the love I have for my community despite the times we're living in. This administration can't erase trans, disabled, undocumented, or other marginalized folks despite their efforts. I see and love you all. We will take care of each other.

Kendrick Lamar's Superbowl performance is why funding arts and humanities matters. We have Kendrick because his teacher introduced him to poetry and writing.

This! 👏

The flood of headlines is no accident—overwhelm is a tactic. The goal? To exhaust us into silence.

But history teaches us this: when systems consolidate power, we must sharpen our discernment and double down on collective action.

More of this, less complying in advance

All communication is valid communication!
