Sometimes I marvel at the degree to which tech bros fundamentally don’t understand teaching & learning. It’s grounded on give & take. Teacher & student learning from each other as they go—progressing towards knowledge. You can’t teach from a script. Well…you can. But that’s not really teaching.

We suspected this was the reason Ukraine’s access to Starshield was restricted. But to see it from senior officials in this reporting is still utterly unconscionable. Let’s be absolutely clear about what this means.

I am in Cap Haitien interviewing people deported from the United States. I have been doing this kind of work for almost a decade and it literally does not get more dire than this. People have lost everything they built in the U.S. and are terrified and have no place to go or way to live.

It’s…beautiful 😍

It’s not that I think people who commit heinous crimes don’t deserve to die. But I’ll never support the death penalty as long as our justice system is unjust. An unjust system should never have the power to make irreversible decisions, especially when Black people disproportionately pay the price.

Federal data shows that in recent months ICE has primarily targeted immigrants with no criminal record. Fox's coverage suggested the opposite.

Given how much the FCC is concerned about Disney-owned channels giving unequal time to politicians, I'm sure ESPN Game Day will have Texas alum James Talarico on next to counterbalance Ted Cruz

The last speaker at the 9/11 remembrance ceremony lost his father to the attacks.

James Talarico calls out Ken Paxton for repeatedly refusing to debate him. Paxton is so corrupt — and such a coward! 👀 PLEASE WATCH AND SHARE.

It's National Suicide Prevention Month, so you've likely heard a lot about 988 and the Crisis Text Line. This is different. docs.google.com/spreadsheets... This is a guide to the numbers you can call before things get to the point of total despair: warmlines and other forms of peer support.

No! Yosemite is ours!!

With that said, I am encouraging everyone to request your ballot early, fill it out when it arrives, and drop it off in a ballot drop box or vote center rather than your USPS mailbox.

New in PN: Roberts knives democracy again "So states have to wait for Trump to wreck the constitutional order, 10 weeks before midterms, before they can challenge Trump wrecking the constitutional order, 10 weeks before midterms. But it’s also such an emergency the Court had to step in. Got it."

Cheryl Reeve’s shirt today:

When ICE tells you they’re targeting the worst of the worst, this is what they mean. ICE arrested Ameaka at BWI airport, and immediately moved her out of state to a GEO facility in Louisiana. www.thebanner.com/community/lo...

It's weird, when you look back on the coverage of Jackie Robinson integrating Major League Baseball, there weren't a lot of these sympathetic pieces about the fans practicing their rights of freedom of speech by screaming the N-word at him. Progress!

He will never stick with any deal. He will never accept that he has lost…anything. He sees nothing but himself. Pretty clear by this point.

1/ Wondering what the FBI has been doing with 2020 election materials it seized in a raid earlier this year, and how it figures into Trump’s plans for the midterm elections? Well, @ProPublica has been working to find out. 🧵👇

Nothing says "intellectual diversity" quite like a mandatory law dictating forced enrollment in a bureaucratic safe space for policed thought. Ohio lawmakers want you to think freely, or else. 👀

Trump has done such a massive disservice to the US football team and American fans with his intervention. He's essentially politicised the team through tainting them with his corruption. The rest of the world is now rooting for Belgium tonight for political reasons. That's not how sport should be.

Strict Scrutiny hosts breakdown the fallout from The Supreme Court’s trans women in sports decision.

Public schools should be places where all students feel welcome, not where children are pressured into religious instruction.

FIFA and the U.S. thought that by humiliating  Iran in the World Cup and making their logistics difficult, would turn the world against them. Instead, the amount of support they received throughout this tournament is unprecedented. They represented their country with dignity and humility. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Good morning. We're starting the day angry. Exhibits on COVID-19 masking and health equity have been papered over at CDC's David J. Sencer Museum. This admin prefers to whitewash history. Let’s never stop telling the truth, defending evidence, and holding power accountable.
