BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.

This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

Savannah teacher killed in crash by man fleeing from ICE According to the Chatham County Police Department, Monday morning’s fatal crash was the result of a chase between Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and a suspect.

ICE killed a teacher in Georgia today when they chose to chase a man who posed no danger and had no criminal history.

DHS is holding a 2-month-old BABY at a detention facility in Texas.

Last night, Juan NicolΓ‘s was rushed to the hospital after choking on his own vomit & being unable to breathe.

This demands accountability β€” not a blank check for more cruelty.

Stop asking questions about GIRLS (aka CHILDREN) as if they are ADULTS.

It’s not so much that Trump & co don’t think slavery was important, they want to remove this history precisely *because* of how important it was. They don’t want people to learn about slavery because then people would understand how it continues to shape the landscape of inequality in America today.

Pray for your teacher friends. The load is heavy right now. Teaching in this political climate is a LOT.

ICE killed a Black man, Keith Porter, 7 days before Renee Good, and I hadn't heard about it until today. His vigils went unnoticed. His life came and gone and America forgot to blink.

Two Americas.

Most times, my kids crave routine. They express their feelings when they're ready but it's usually not right away.

Posts may be a bit more sporadic from me today as my kids are home from school because my city is being brutalized by the federal government to the extent that it's unsafe for schools to be open

Making Space: Teaching After Trauma Teachers sometimesΒ feel a need to change their lesson plans when traumatic events occur, but that may not be the best strategy.

Of all the pieces I've written, this is the one I find myself coming back to over & over again. Our trauma is never-ending ending & kids are in the midst of it. I don't see enough attention paid to how teachers navigate these times with students #EduSky

Good morning. I'd like to invite anyone who is interested to make a small gesture of kindness today. It's up to you to decide what that can be. The key is for you to act on the idea. With so much out of our control, we can choose how to be with each other today and every day.

Gentle Reminder: Say Her Name is a social movement that seeks to raise awareness for Black women who are victims of police brutality and anti-Black violence. We can be outraged about Renee Nicole Goode without coopting language designed specifically to honor the memories of Black women.

ICE fascists murdered Renee Good. Renee's partner died in 2023. They had a 6 year old child.

ICE fascists just orphaned a 6 year old by murdering his mother in broad daylight. They murdered her less than a mile from where Derek Chauvin murdered George Floyd.

Abolish ICE. End Qualified Immunity.

Welp. I JUST booked my spring break getaway at The Hilton yesterday and canceled it today. I can't control much these days but I can definitely control where my hard earned dollars are spent.

I said this to a friend yesterday and will repeat it here. A lot of people are going to be hyper-focused on elections this year but if that's not your ministry, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO HYPER-FOCUS there. There's so much other organizing work to do. You can focus your energies and attention there.

Screaming "wtf" and waiting for a spontaneous uprising is going to discourage you. There won't be a spontaneous uprising. That's just not where the people are at.

Organize for the long term. Build community. Build resilience. Have a strategy for whatever corner of this thing you're working on.
