This story is - I feel - one of the more important ones people aren't really paying attention to?

Whatever happens today will be really significant beyond Indiana....

I bet the voting base is really happy with being held hostage.

Good look.

MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported?

NOEM: We haven't deported veterans

MAGAZINER: We are now joined on Zoom by a combat veteran you deported to Korea

A VERY EARLY final exam day with donuts and coffee for all.

Now to lock down for three days of grading interrupted by meetings.

A squishy “banned book” and berries

Assorted biscuits, charcuterie, fudge, berries, and other snacks.

Finishing one class with an “exam” of reflective work and sharing UnEssays.

British Lit faculty = biscuits (but also East Texas snacks)

When you find people who do trauma how you do.

Gorgeous.

Because it’s so obvious as to be a hand-in-your-face, my state rep has gone to media to whisper “maybe war crimes?,” but super quiet so that he doesn’t make the man angry.

Tonight’s repeal of Utah’s ban of teacher collective bargaining is a historic step in the right direction to return respect and dignity to the workers of Utah. Here's my full statement.

List of what faculty across the US can do with the empty promises of protection their admins offered them in 2025:

-paper airplanes
-origami
-those fortune teller things we made in middle school that promised you’d get married to a rich dude
-wallpaper

Faculty across the country, figuring out what to do with all the empty promises they’re being given as people actively abuse them for sport.

Immigration Americans know that our strength has always been built on the simple notion that America is a place where many become one. The AFT, as the representative of those who teach and care for our next gener...

Who has made this 🤣

A million vids like this, all gold.

I swear, Gen Z, we really were that dumb.

It was really honorable, him pulling it together. We thought that.

Knowing what I know about higher education in the midwest I rooted for either a strike by players or for everyone to loose.

Pretty dissatisfied.

This has been the sports update.

I’m real hype from @aft.org Great Lakes in Chicago.

Let’s go.

Yupppppp

Ohio faculty union giving updates from the frontlines:

Here’s a model of the Chicago Hilton in gingerbread and McCain saying this beats the Hanoi Hilton.

Thanks @rweingarten.bsky.social for an incredible keynote discussion!

The book also supports the AFT so I’ll tell you: buy it!

A totally unknown infant tried to give me a sodden half-eaten cracker and I pretended to be excited but I didn’t take the cracker and he just lost it entirely.

So I took the sodden cracker immediately and he was very happy, as was his dad.

I think I know what room that kid ended up in.

In a hotel of labor leaders. ❤️

Glad they let me in by accident 😊.

So I thought hearing about this award existing from the most corrupt and vile organization was the funniest thing I saw this week until.

In other news Chicago still here but I’m not leaving the building I’m in for 24 hours, so I won’t even see if it goes anywhere!

I got about half the students to attend a “pizza with profs” event by marketing as “an opportunity to eat free food alongside people with a Spotify age of 100.”

I got the corner booth’s peace award at the restaurant I’m at! Cheers!

I just looked at the agenda and 🔥.
I think this will very much be valuable for my colleagues at this pivotal time in higher ed!

And it’s the day after the last day of the semester and I’m off to the #AFT. ✈️.

I sense this sounds accidentally braggy.

What I mean is - this should not be happening.

I see so many public service professionals in public speaking spaces now, public speaking.

In short, this is awkward for all of us as we stumble into this moment which demands our advocacy.
