Not me, taking a shower, having shower thoughtsโ€ฆ and realizing I have a whole platform I had written in my head if I ran for school board.

Our school is on the list and we donโ€™t meet any of the 3 criteria.

I could go on and on about the problems with the process

One thing that is apparent from ICE & SAVE Act discourse: Republican legislators & executive branch folks, who have staff do everything for them, have no idea what a Real ID is.

It shows how out of touch they are with average Americans.

The Dem candidates have been making their way through our neighborhood through meet & greets at homes. They have all conflicted with my schedule, but I have noticed that Bottoms is very absent from multiple rotations.

I have not been up on this, but the demise of the Factbook has been a big topic of discussion among high school teachers who used it as a teaching tool.

It depends on the doctor. My husbandโ€™s prep was so easy and mine was horrible so I am switching practices when I need my next one. Worth asking what the prep is before booking an appointment!

Headline card with text on top that reads: "Autistic girls are much less likely to be diagnosed than boys are, study says." Below is a photo of a girl sitting at a desk and looking outside.

Headline card with text on top that reads: "Autistic girls are much less likely to be diagnosed than boys are, study says." Below is a photo of a girl sitting at a desk and looking outside.

Boys are up to four times more likely to be diagnosed with autism than girls in childhood, according to a large-scale study.

Very niche postโ€ฆ but I cannot stand when schools and school districts call their students โ€œscholars.โ€œ

The 2000s called and wants its discourse back.

Canโ€™t wait for Mike Johnson to tell @ericmgarcia.bsky.social he hasnโ€™t seen it and Trump is the best at being effective on social media.

I am not sure my fellow parents of 4th graders have accepted that in the world we live in today, parenting tour kids to not become incels looks very different from how we grew up.

Judge Orders Release of 5-Year-Old Detained by Immigration Agents in Minnesota The treatment of Liam Conejo Ramos, pictured wearing a blue winter hat and Spider-Man backpack while in the custody of immigration agents, drew outrage across the country.

Breaking News: A federal judge ordered the release of a 5-year-old boy and his father from immigration custody, condemning their removal from their Minneapolis neighborhood as unconstitutional. The detainment of the boy, Liam Conejo Ramos, by immigration officers had caused widespread outrage.

I like neither Ezra Klein nor shouting down speakers. I think Ezra Klein profits, metaphorically and literally, by being shouted down by Sarah Lawrence students, and that doing it to him was more or less like trying to discourage a dog by throwing bacon at it.

Live: U.S. opens civil rights investigation in Alex Prettiโ€™s death President Trump labeled Pretti an โ€œagitatorโ€ after new video showed the Minneapolis man clashing with federal agents.

A judge has ordered the release of Twin Cities independent journalist Georgia Fort this afternoon, rejecting the U.S. governmentโ€™s claims that her allegations constitute a crime of violence that necessitate keeping her detained.

Trying to figure out how @dekalbcoschools.bsky.social has not cancelled Saturday activities yet.

Some of these events require complex transportation arrangements for families since they are not at home schools.

Substantial notice is appreciated!

Strategic.

I am a suburban mom & head of our public schoolโ€™s parent org.

Just installed dashcams & signed up for ICE observer training because ICE just set up a field office and is misbehaving around our schools.

Is that what the working families in the US want? In your district?

Grow a pair.

How ICE Already Knows Who Minneapolis Protesters Are

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by nameโ€”citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

It sounds funny, but I honestly think itโ€™s because we grew up before No Child Left Behind, which changed teacher credential laws. Too many in our generation had social studies taught by phys ed teachers.

The Boomers grew up with 60s unrest/Vietnam draft/Nixon so more lived experience.

Press conferences and social media posts have not changed conditions on the ground. Another person taken today off of Central Ave and Northeast middle school had to delay letting kids leave because of ICE presence in the area. The federal government continues to make our community less safe.

A federal search warrant is being executed at the same address as the Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections, *right now.* If you know what's going on with that, or are an elected official, ping me.

I am not a religious person, but my sincere wish is that the right wing would let Laken Riley rest in peace. She deserves at least that.
