Today was Three Sisters Soup day in American Indian History class! We enjoyed learning about this indigenous planting technique and tasting the soup. #fallsoupseason #notsweaterweatheryet

Pritzker: What's at stake here is free speech. It's our constitution and our way of life. Do we really want the president intimidating people, organizations to get others fired? People ought to be standing up and speaking out.

Our full group of volunteers from the Trumbull area as part of Friends of Appalachia and ASP. From building roofs, ramps and decks to insulating homes and fixing floors to sharing stories and forming lasting connections, these students (and adults) embodied the very best of our school community. 🩵🫶🏻💚

Just finished an amazing week in Knott County, KY with my Friends of Appalachia family. We built a deck for the most incredible family in Carrie, who have been rebuilding their home with love & resilience after losing everything in the 2022 flood. Their strength and generosity were truly humbling.

Barnes v Felix today. At issue was whether or not the courts should apply the “moment of the threat” doctrine (test) when evaluating an excessive force claim under the Fourth Amendment. Our justices ruled 3-3 which means the lower court’s ruling stands firm (and Felix wins). #apgov

Of course! I was going to write my mini article on when I used it (and the interactive map of Indigenous Activism in the United States) in my class this year ;)

Since Alcatraz is suddenly in the news again, now is a great time to watch Retro Report’s video on the 1969 Occupation at Alcatraz. Great for #apgov #apush and all Americans to watch!!! #alcatraz @retroreport.org

Proud of this medal! Very nervous going in if I could really complete this. Didn’t train as much since the NY 1/2 due to a very busy spring. Felt great throughout the entire course. My last few miles were my strongest! Can’t wait for next year! @mohonkpreserve.bsky.social

Rock the Ridge Marathon. One of the most beautiful places to spend a day hiking up two high peeks (1400ft) to complete my first trail marathon! Don’t let those sunny blue skies fool you - I also had a massive thunderstorm around mile 22! Until next year Mohonk!!! @mohonkpreserve.bsky.social

Former Capitol Police officer: I would love nothing more than to move on from the worst day of my life.

But as current officials attempt to rewrite that day… and pardoned criminals are making runs for office… the true patriots have become "nothing but afterthoughts."
