That is a values problem, not a logistics problem.

…but won’t.

Grateful for this publication.
Side-eyeing the fact that it dropped on Thanksgiving.

Publishing decolonial work on exclusion in early childhood on Thanksgiving was not on my 2025 bingo card, but tenure-track irony is undefeated.

If “lack of consequences” caused turnover, the strictest schools would keep teachers. They don’t. Teachers leave because systems won’t give them time, staffing, or support to meet kids’ needs. Blaming children is an easy distraction, not the truth.

I’d just like to reiterate that if you put on a mask, and go out without a warrant and kidnap people because they aren’t white enough, you’re a huge piece of shit…

Bahaha. Got it! Missed the chain before.

You mean “sister” Justice?

I’m genuinely curious why the East Wing demolition happened and hasn’t been stopped. And don’t want the silly “he does what he wants” answers. Don’t permits have to be issued? Companies contracted? Land surveyed? Approvals? Seems like there are either many locally complicit people or laws broken.

Not to add anything to your plate, #SpecialEd, but this is worth watching.

I’m going to need someone to say “I voted for this” and defend it. Where are you people now??

In the last two weeks, we have upended multiple grad students’ lives. And cancellations haven’t even started yet in our world.

I never want to go back to the system we had before, though I’ll happily cherrypick the still-useful parts. 🍒

Imagining the what-next is how we stay hopeful and inspired during these dark days.

But before we build the future, it’s high time we reckon with the past. For real this time.

Listen…

I can’t stop thinking about how the Access Hollywood tape came out before the election even happened, yet suddenly we have people concerned that the President might have lied about being a sexual predator who were totally fine with it when he told the truth about being a sexual predator

very grim

Sounds good to me. It’s time to fight fire with fire.

Kind of weird that we can gather together to bring millions of people to a protest (that had no demand or purpose other than solidarity) but can’t gather enough people to block all roads into and out of the concentration camp/storm and destroy it.

We’re soft. Complicit.

#ConcentrationCamp

If you can justify concentration camps I would prefer we never interact.

Absolute horror
