Sen. Cirino gave me feedback bc we advocates are too mean to the GOP when we call out their cheating (read: gerrymandering) & bad faith (see, eg, their 13-2 or 12-3 maps). I…had some feelings of my own - mostly righteous anger that we have to beg them to care abt our democracy

Good people, I really think the Ohio legislature wants every adult in Ohio to carry a gun. This is especially troublesome in schools. Look how many groups spoke out against it. Lets fully fund public schools instead of arming teachers. #Fundsnotguns. m.clevescene.com/scene-and-hear…

Todd S. Hawley, Ph.D. 💯 & Let's not forget the pending attacks against social-emotional learning in school for kids. They're bypassing the real issues (need for mental health supports) by focusing on the outcome (violence). Cannot wait for the rpt "thoughts and prayers" when this goes wildly wrong.😥

The meal is done and the shopping can wait...so why not apply for a #NEHgrant? Landmarks programs offer virtual & residential workshops for K-12 educators across the country. Learn about designing & applying here: 👉 buff.ly/2YzUs7H #NEHWhyHere #Twitterstorians

This week, we're time travelling through American history, featuring projects running next summer. This thread spotlights NEH Landmarks and Institutes for K-12 educators and higher education faculty that center on mapping, geography, and place-based humanities. #NEHWhyHere

Good people, sounds like ⁦Kent State⁩ needs to listen to these students rather than soften its covid policies. Who are we protecting by not requiring vaccinations? Sounds like we care about tuition $$$ over everyone’s health. ⁦KentWired⁩ kentwired.com/coronavirus/ar…

Good people, I believe ⁦Bryan Ashkettle⁩ was the first person I ever heard predict this would happen. Well hell, here we are. Again, time to resist bills like this one and support teachers as professionals. #believeteachers. nbcnews.com/politics/polit…

Democracy itself is at stake when the rule of law and code of ethics guiding our elected officials are ignored. Thank you to local media who have been covering this story for months. I’m glad it is finally getting the national spotlight it deserves. nbcnews.com/now/video/ohio…

Now let's go after the American oligarchs!

Good people, what if we finally decided to support teachers as professionals and worked to lift them up instead of tearing them down for political gain. Let’s fully fund public education. #believeteachers clevescene.com/news/as-ohio-c…

Y’all. Do you know any joyfully rebellious teachers working in the South and Appalachia? Share widely and let me know if you have any questions. And yes, we are working on a book for teacher educators as well. More info soon. #joyfulteaching

Good people, @aj_wade and I wrote this in 2018. Yet here we are. people either keep on moving, say it was only one or two killed or send thought and prayers.

Well hell, y’all. High school Todd Hawley saw World Party play at legion field on the UGA campus circa 1987. Such a good show. So sad that their leader Karl Wallinger died this week. So many good songs that were political and so fun to sing. #shipoffools theguardian.com/music/2024/mar…
