I've never 🫶🏽 Michelle and Barack more, but ... they left #LesMis at intermission because they were not fans🥰

I've noticed that there are times when I am not nice to my friends. I don't know why...

I am honestly confused why anyone with morals and intelligence is still on it.

I’m going to stop calling it “this administration” or “the Trump administration”. It is now “this regime” or “the Trump regime”. #languagematters #thatisall

Feeling the Losses It has been exactly six months (as I’m writing this) to the day since flames chased us from our school and our school community.

Welcome to the early side! #morningwalkers

Ok, I’m going to try it one more time.

You are going to be able to vote in 2026. Elections are decentralized. There will be voter suppression tactics, but you will vote.

The doomsaying doesn’t help.

We now have a concentration camp in Florida.

Stop pretending any of this is normal.

If you claim to be a good person and you're not outwardly opposing this regime, you're not a good person.

Be human.

Talking to @ljmathman.bsky.social & fam last night. Had to clarify that we are both "the teacher you hate in September" because We challenge you to think, learn, & grow. But you "love us in June" because YOU are a better person, stronger student, & a boon to the world as a result. #makeadifference

Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson are writing with John Marshall Harlan's pen. #dissent #iykyk

I'm okay that there are no people of color in this movie. #EchoValley

Decoration Day (1865)

It's been a weekend.

Took Topanga Canyon home today for the first time since January 6th, 2025.

The Trump administration has deported a 2-year old U.S. citizen to one of the most violent countries in the world.

Why does the House Republican majority continue to enable this disgusting, unchristian-like behavior?

These people are unfit to govern.

Removing a black 4-star general at Secretary of Defense and replacing him with a white talk-show is the perfect example why DEI is essential. It's not about hiring unqualified minorities, it’s about foiling the majority's habit of hooking up under qualified mediocrities of their own caste.

Watching some folks obey in advance is hurting my feelings! #wesaidwhatwesaid

On April 12, 1861, Confederate forces attacked Fort Sumter, launching the four-year Civil War—a national conflict that would ultimately force the abolition of slavery in the United States. 130 days to Slavery Remembrance Day. #CountdowntoSRD

The so-called Defense Secretary has ordered 400 books removed from the Naval Academy library.

This outrageous ban includes works about Slavery and the Holocaust, but not a book written by Adolf Hitler.

The effort to whitewash our history must be reversed and Pete Hegseth fired IMMEDIATELY.

Another question for the pod: What is the purpose of government? And how does THAT purpose influence its priorities? #wesaidwhatwesaid #historianthoughts

The Smart People said "Abolish ICE" was too radical. Then ICE kidnapped students, sent innocent people to a mega prison, broke into a car to take a mom from her daughter, and tried questioning elementary kids while lying that they had parents permission.

Ask yourself: which part is more "radical"?

Um ... Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Quite literally whitewashing the purpose of the Underground Railroad www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...
