I am puzzled. If Congress and the Administration can agree to give trillions to corporations, big banks, airlines, and 600,000 others, why can’t they agree to appropriate $500 billion to open schools safely, in accordance with science? What about the children? and their teachers?

The best project an educator can work on this summer is themselves. Imagine the teacher you aspire to be & read/study/mediate/practice/work in pursuit of that vision #HipHopEd

I am in awe of teachers right now. Even more than usual. There is some serious badassery on display amid the chaos, and many, many of y'all are right there in the middle of it.

Most important change I made to my equity/justice PD work was when I stopped moving at the pace of the most resistant people and started prioritizing the radical potential of folks ready to create change now. Quickened everyone’s learning, including the resisters’.

Imagine if the Starr Report had been provided only to President Clinton's Attorney General, Janet Reno, who then read it privately and published a 4-page letter based on her private reading stating her conclusion that President Clinton committed no crimes.

I just want to offer a sincere, no snark invitation to all the McCain republicans to come over and vote with us for 2020 and I promise we can go back to fighting about normal stuff once we’ve stabilized our republic.
