A hospital. People being shot inside it from snipers outside. Patients forced into landscape of destruction. Make it stop. #ceasefireNow
Israeli forces have issued an evacuation order on Nasser hospital, in southern #Gaza, ordering thousands of displaced people out “into an apocalyptic landscape”. We condemn this decision and call for an immediate ceasefire. More 👇 msf.org/displaced-peop…
This is unprecedented as far as I know. It is, in fact, historic. Biden staffers organized a vigil outside the #WhiteHouse calling on their boss to call for a ceasefire. Wow! And to the staffers, thank you so much!
In school, we’re taught to value peace — “world peace” is the goal. As an adult, I learned that “peace” is quietly violent. Peace often demands silence. Peace often means “wait” or “on our terms.” As an adult, I am shifting my orientation toward “peace” in favor of freedom.
TN ranks in the bottom 10 states for education spending per student. Rejecting $1.9 billion in federal funds for public schools is a deliberate disinvestment in our children.
On Monday morning, Tennessee House Speaker Cameron Sexton and Lt. Gov. Randy McNally announced the formation of a group to consider rejecting $1.9 billion in federal funds for public schools. @stockard_sam reports. tennesseelookout.com/2023/09/25/top…
Covenant School families response to tonight's House rule change: "We came to observe our legislature in action. We sat quietly, prayed for and listened to the members. Instead, with the new no sign rule, we felt we lost a bit of dignity in our identity as parents of survivors"
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Tennessee lawmakers returned to the state Capitol Monday, kicking off a special session that many hoped would address gun laws but instead devolved into bitter fighting over procedural rules and limits on the public. Our story: apnews.com/article/c6bb93…
when you, a soccer nerd, introduces @math5ever , a math nerd, to the group stage, you spend too much time determining the probability for who will advance from group A. still working on how goal differential comes in 🤪🤯
To let you further know the Supreme Court is on some bullshit, they said it’s totally fine for military academies to consider race in admissions. Now why is that? businessinsider.com/supreme-court-…
1. Tennessee House Speaker @CSexton25 led the charge to expel two elected members for violating "rules of decorum." But a Popular Information investigation has uncovered evidence Sexton is violating a more fundamental rule: THE STATE CONSTITUTION Follow along if interested 🧵
“The ONLY thing left to do is legislative action. That’s the only thing left to do. Not a tweet, not a prayer, not a thought. Every Republican that is tweeting today needs to save it. We don’t want to hear it.” State Senator @CharlaneOliver speaking big truth.
Tennessee Senate gaveled in, heard an emotional prayer from a guest pastor and then adjourned quickly. Senate Dems, including Nashville’s @CharlaneOliver, are angry they weren’t given an opportunity to address the Covenant shooting on the floor today & call for gun reform action
Tennessee @GovBillLee hasn't had time yet to tweet his thoughts and prayers for Covenant School, but when he does, remind him that this is exactly why police and citizens opposed the permitless carry bill he signed into law at a gun maker's factory in 2021. #tnleg
This is very bad science and I'm sick of it: A 🧵on why this is complete bullshit (from my upcoming publication on the fairy tale that is the "word/language gap"). 1/
One of the most robust childhood findings of all time is that vocabulary acquisition by Pre-K is directly tied to reading comprehension in high school. Hispanic parents read half as much, and Black parents 2/3rds as much, to their kids as white parents. Culture, not race.
Math class should be more about cultivating mindsets, habits, and dispositions than about covering content

it’s getting darker by the day, so collect the light in your pockets like lint. the light on the trees, the light through the blinds, the patches on the floor. how it holds the moon in the sky, turns the water to glitter, turns skin into sunbeams— the light, the light, the light.
The bleakest day of the school year is when teachers swap potential strategies for keeping a school shooter at bay.
Well, lucky for you, @BillLeeTN & Larry Arnn, there's over a 1000 openings in metro!! Since it's an easy job, we'd be glad to have you. SMH get that man out of office.

a stat that never fails to horrify, because us political leaders refuse to address it
happy earth day, did you know that the US military industrial complex is one of the biggest climate polluters in the world?
Different varieties of a species of cactus known as 'Astrophytum asterias'. This cool name derives from the Greek words 'astron' and 'aster' meaning star, and 'phyton' meaning plant 🌵✴️💚
