In the most Midwest Dad™️ move ever, our neighbor shoveled his car out of his driveway so he could “just go see how it is out there”.

His report: It’s even worse than he thought & he’s now having to shovel again to get back into his driveway.

We have around 12” of snow & it’s still falling.

Where to begin? Sometimes you just have start.

I'm finally writing *something*! cfrederick.substack.com/p/where-to-b... #writing

FBI executes search warrant at Washington Post reporter’s home The search came as part of an investigation into a government contractor accused of illegally retaining classified government materials.

This should alarm everyone. The FBI searched a journalist’s home and seized her work devices, despite no criminal charges. This is a direct threat to press freedom.

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand

You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen

How Colleges Are Tackling Loneliness With the Arts Art Pharmacy uses “social prescribing” to offer students nonclinical paths to better mental health and connection on campus.

Absolutely love this approach to supporting mental health and well-being long-term. For a lot of reasons, human connection seems harder for people than ever. And the arts truly are transformative. #mentalhealth #arts #therapy

A day after Columbus City Schools cut over $50 million from its budget to manage a deficit, the Franklin County auditor released a report showing the district lost over $84 million this year because of tax breaks given to developments.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

That bill they passed in the middle of the night with one vote? It’s ugly. Call your Senators. Fill up their inboxes. Make it so it doesn’t get past the Senate. YES, this means Red states too. Next, show up on June 14th. You know what to do. #politicalrevolution #50501movement #impeachtrump

Once again I am suggesting that you break some rules for practice. Get comfortable with breaking rules. When the rules are hurting other people, the right thing to do is break them. We need people who follow their moral code over the rules of their society, university, employer, and government.

"They'll never cut Social Security" is the new "they'll never overturn Roe v Wade."

Even in states with limited or no collective bargaining rights, joining a union strengthens educators' voices, enabling them to fight for better pay, improved working conditions, and stronger public schools.

All of our students deserve nothing less than to be their true, authentic selves.

A private citizen shutting down a government agency is a coup. Do not normalize this.

Was great to present on Empowerment & Diverse Experiences today @ the ONE-AE joint IGNITE conference. Met some amazing future educators!

So how’s it going so far?

In a world of Snoop Dogs, be a Green Day.
