There is always money for war but my mom has been buying her own classroom supplies for 44 years. There is always money for war but my generation drowns in debt we were told is necessary for success. There is always money for war but when we get sick we crowdfund for medicine
bell hooks: "We have to constantly critique imperialist white supremacist patriarchal culture because it is normalized by mass media and rendered unproblematic.”
Thinking about and praying for the innocent Palestinians whose deaths will be justified by people in the west who ‘unequivocally condemn’ terrorism only when it’s convenient.
We always put our students first. I mean, it might not be in the form of smaller class sizes, working AC, replacing 30-year-old desks, or resources for learning, but we always mention that they're first at parent meetings.
Police in Wisconsin routinely pull undocumented dairy workers over after running their plates and discovering they don't have a license -- which the state bars them from obtaining. As a result workers feel trapped on the farms where they work & often live. propublica.org/article/wiscon…
Hey friends. As you know, my first year VEX robotics program is traveling to World Championships in Dallas, TX next month. I was not prepared to take my students on a trip of this magnitude, so I did no fundraising. We have one month to raise $3,250. /1
I spent the last year talking to children who live with distant relatives or strangers and work illegal jobs. These are 12 and 13-year-olds who pay rent, take on overtime, and rarely get a weekend off. They’re part of a shadow work force that has exploded since the pandemic.
It’s time to face the facts: climate change is happening, and we’re the cause. The impacts are far reaching and out our civilization at risk. But there’s still hope, if we act now. We CAN make a difference!
Alright dear educators, we’re facing another “days after” moment. These can be challenging. I wanted to offer up some resources that you might find supportive (feel free to add to this thread):
“Why not invest in farmworkers, their families, and communities? With the necessary support and tools, farmworkers can think creatively, find ways to improve the quality of today’s farm work, redesign farms as better, safer, and more dignified workplaces.”civileats.com/2023/01/23/op-…
Okay post 40-minute panel on @KQED regarding farmworker labor conditions and the violence in Half Moon Bay I feel like there’s more context needed as to why the focus of the panel was on the labor sector of the victims and crime. So a thread on the politics and layers:
Many national parks were created by violently removing Native peoples from our homelands. To make amends for past and present injustices, we must re-indigenize national parks. Join us in telling Chuck Sams it’s time to re-indigenize national parks! bit.ly/3W823lv
Police killed more people in America in 2022 than any other year on record. At least 1,176 people were killed by police nationwide - 3.2 killings per day. mappingpoliceviolence.us
Minnesota's charter school sector keeps pushing to legalize racial segregation. Yesterday, a bunch of charter schools asked the state Supreme Court to file a brief arguing that single-race schools do not violate the state constitution and are simply another form of school choice.
We're happy to introduce the Dakota land map of the Minnesota River Valley. You can visit the project page to learn more about sacred sites, get a free version to print at home, order prints and hear audio pronunciation by @huhamaza marlenamyl.es/project/dakota…
Since the Midwest is about to be slammed by a massive winter storm and arctic chill, a thread of reminders on how to stay safe! But first, a couple notes: 1. Stay the fuck inside. 2. Don't make delivery drivers go out in it. You staying inside means they stay inside too!

The kids don’t care because the adults don’t care because the state doesn’t care because the country doesn’t care and it’s really hard to be the only person who cares.
Can we just take a second to be in awe that this is a whole body of government, that they are young, progressive, women of color, and they ATE? Way to go, St. Paul.
Every time my school does a spirit week, I’m filled with dread on my way in on Monday morning because what if I got the wrong week??? (Pajama Day, I hope…)
By preserving the illusion that our weight is under our tight long term control, Ozempic is making life so much for those of us who have always, and will always, be fat. Even if we do cave and lose 20, 30, 40 pounds on the drug
This is my litmus test for teachers saying “this is a winter activity; not a Christmas activity”. Would you still do it in January or February? If not, it’s probably more Christmas-y than you think.
My current morning bitch-Frosty the Snowman is a Christmas song, sorry. We’re not singing it in February.
@mrbg We do writing in science too - lab reports, conceptual responses, etc. Labs themselves take time to set up and tear down, often multiple hours. Math problems also involve scrutiny because how the problem is worked matters as much as the final answer. We all need more preps.
@MattRhoads1990 AND - it should be a year, then a residential year with a certified teacher watching and supporting every step. Similar to a doctor’s residency.
Student teaching needs to be a paid internship. It should be a non-negotiable.
some people never experience going to the gay club with great music and dance with their friends, and that’s so sad
CONFIRMED: The next Saint Paul City Council will be entirely women — and majority women of color — making it the youngest, most progressive and most diverse in Saint Paul’s history. Our full statement: tinyurl.com/HistoricSTPCou…
@NAEmmanuele I get it. I, personally, was having a tough time bc the whole system seems to believe that rapport is a big part of the sol’n to engagement. So what do you do if it’s not enough? I was feeling very stuck. And I’ve been working on internalizing that they are separate.
I know the world is on fire and teaching sucks so bad for a lot of folks right now, but I feel strong and inspired and I’m doing some of the best, most important work I’ve ever done.
Minnesotans: stop with the salt!! It all pollutes the Mississippi River and it’s the laziest least effective ice removal. Scrape and shovel and stop ruining our shoes!! Get it right this winter for the live of pete!!!!!

I’m all about animals that unionize. Happy Halloween!
If those kids aren’t interested in ag, y’all’s future kids are not in good hands. Agriculture is important. There are more ways to be in the ag industry than running a farm, having animals and/or growing produce.
dozens of us are working frantically behind the scenes to keep this from happening
We can't sustain a resurgence of Shaun King.
I want a policy in my district that every licensed teacher subs one day per month. I’m including assistant principals all the way up to the superintendent. Because there’s not a teacher shortage, there’s a working conditions problem and the people in power need to feel it.
Teachers should have a full (40-45 minute at least) duty-free lunch period AND substantial prep period (NOT PLC AND MEETINGS) every day.
Ample planning time should be a basic right of teachers. #MakeTeachingSustainable
