U.S. Citizen Detained for 10 Days Says DHS Lied About Everything Immigration officials detained Jose Hermilloso for over a week. He says their version of what happened is completely inaccurate.

A U.S. citizen sought out a police officer for help and was detained instead.

Then the Department of Homeland Security’s official X account lied about what happened.

Sometimes you just have to askβ€”why? The Senate voted to strike down a rule capping most bank overdraft fees at $5, a measure introduced by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau that was expected to save Americans billions each year.

Republicans in the Senate voted tonight while no one is watching to fatten Wall Street profits by jacking up overdraft fees on you.

So much for lowering costs.

Senate Republicans would rather you didn’t find out they just voted to give the biggest banks billions in profits from overdraft fees that kick working people when they’re down. Disgraceful.

Meanwhile, every Senate Democrat voted against it.

Tomorrow, February 28, let’s disrupt the status quo by spending ONLY at businesses that uplift our communities.

That means:
🚫 No gas from corporate giants
🚫 No fast food chains
🚫 No big-box retailers (Target, Walmart, Amazon, etc.)

Conference Like A Pro: Essential Tips ForΒ #SHAPEBaltimore Baltimore, nicknamed 'Charm City' in the 70s, is a city I've visited many times, and even plays a minor role in my relocation to America. So you can guess that I'm obviously thrilled to return in a few weeks for the 2025 SHAPE America National Convention and Expo. Running from April 1st to 5th, it's the nation’s premier event for health and physical education professionals.

Challenges w #motivation in #PhysEd class?

Kids disengaged or going thru motions?

Here’s 1 key piece to ⬆️motivation: purpose.

Too often we don’t clarify why something is learned &/or done. W/out this kids lose interest, form a negative view of #PE & question the relevance.

Q for #HealthEd friends:
As I grade S reflections on learning from #AccessingValidResources unit, I’m wondering how the #reliability of .gov sites might change. As many expert leaders are relieved of their jobs in govt agencies, will these sites become less trustworthy & more biased? #NHES3

New students for me, too! Feels kinda disheartening to start all over again. Most teachers in my building have year-long courses; they’re not very understanding in my new struggles. But I’m trying to think of it as an opportunity to show more families how valuable my curriculum is for their kids.

I try to finish every Friday with this, and any other day I end feeling defeated. It reminds me that MOST of my students and parents are supportive and appreciative, and leaves me feeling good about the relationships I am building.

Sadly, Indiana legislators already introduced a bill allowing schools to deny registration to students without documentation of legal immigration status.
