Anyone else find themselves helplessly taking screenshots of news & posts about Trump as if one day our phones are going to be the next “diaries” in the future to look back on and see the truth and perspective of those of us on the progressive side and our fight that media isn’t showing? #politics

This greatly messed with my student loan repayments. And I’m so confused and angry rn. Did some digging to find out what happened with my IDR plan and found out this (see images). Should have expected something like this to happen with the attack of the DOE. #education #studentloans #politics #DOE

That is both messed up and disgraceful! You can’t just delete history!
Arlington National Cemetery has removed information about prominent Black, Hispanic, and female service members, as well as topics such as the Civil War, from its website.

Dismantling the Department of Education has nothing to do with improving outcomes for our kids, it’s simply about taking away resources from our public schools.

Had a great classroom discussion today! We used weather to describe emotions and talked about how we have emotions we are not our emotions. And emotions come and go, just like weather.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.
Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.
Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

I read today that Apple has removed international woman’s day (March 8) from its calendar - joining google with its removal of recognition months and national days. As an educator we still recognized woman’s history month (& Black History Month in Feb!) #womanshistorymonth #history #teach #celebrate

Social media is fun because you basically just talk to yourself and sometimes a stranger replies to yell at you about why you’re wrong
