I’m at the point of the Cross Country season where it seems like all I’ve done is teach freshman how to function in society.

Let me know when y’all are ready to talk Carolina Basketball Ted Lasso

Vonnegut's reflection is a breath of fresh air in an achievement-crazy culture - and particularly welcome in contrast to the grit mindset that says kids must stick with one thing until they master it (even if joylessly) rather than sampling a broad range of experiences.

“All labor has dignity. It is a crime for people to live in this rich nation and receive starvation wages…and it is criminal to have people working on a full-time basis and a full-time job getting part-time income.“ - MLK Jr.

Somewhere, very near you, is a tiny being, just going about their day. They don’t care about you, or me, nor any of our worries. And I find so much comfort in that 💚🐌

The Bureau of Land Management recommended approval of an $8 Billion oil drilling project in Alaska, and we only have 30 days to urge the Biden Administration to stop it. We cannot afford new fossil fuel projects. Spread awareness about the Willow Project.

Crazy question: rather than asking/requiring people to “drink from firehoses,” can we create gentle faucets instead?

My favorite quip from the late education analyst Jerry Bracey: "There is a growing technology of testing that now permits us to do in nanoseconds things that we shouldn't be doing at all."

So how'd heat pumps handle Maine's arctic blast a few weeks ago? From a local installer: “We have 1,500 heat pumps in the field, and we did not get a single call of a heat pump shutting off during this event.” mainepublic.org/climate/2023-0… @Murray_Journo Maine Public

.President Donald J. Trump—we must stop the Willow project. It is the largest proposed oil development project on federal lands and it threatens our environment, our planet, and our future. Reject Willow now and protect the Arctic.

I've been posting my public schedule since Montanans first sent me to the Senate, and it's time my colleagues follow suit. Let's make Congress more transparent and pass my legislation to require all Members to post daily public schedules online like I do: tester.senate.gov/services/publi…

Taxing the rich is not about taking "their" money. It is about curtailing their command over *our* collective labour and resources so we can redirect *our* productive capacities away from serving elite accumulation and toward what we know is necessary for well-being and ecology.

Billionaires spent over $1 billion on the 2022 election. During this year's campaign it's projected that $10 billion will be spent on political ads. Democracy is supposed to be about one person, one vote, not billionaires buying elections. It's time to overturn Citizens United.

The only perspective on AI that matters

What I want my reproductive rights friends to understand: overthrowing Chevron = overthrowing Roe. You know how our lives are jeopardized bc judges don’t understand fallopian tubes? Now they get to know better than EPA scientists how much, say, benzene exposure is ok for you.

Nothing more to be said. This is oligarchy: a government of the billionaires, by the billionaires, and for the billionaires. We must defeat Trump. We must overturn Citizens United. We must fight for democracy.
