There really aren't any moderate Republicans. I hope that everyone understands that. So-called moderate Republicans blocked the John Lewis Voting Rights Act & the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act.

I understand why policymakers I meet with ask if I'm able to access to healthcare I need (no, the answer is very much "no"), but as I always explain, this isn't about me.
White healthcare lawyers aren't the demo you need to design to...

People need to stop assuming that these bonkers and terrible beliefs are “low class” or “trashy.” Economic deprivation isn’t the cause of racism. It was wealthy slaveowners who started a war to defend it, and it was white citizens councils who repressed Black financial hopes.

Folks underestimate how well-off Marjorie Taylor Greene is, which is partly why she keeps getting re-elected. People keep calling her trailer trash and painting her as lower class which appeals to her constituents.
…but at a net worth of $41 million MTG has never seen a trailer…

#MTBoS & #ITeachMath! Another survey reporting that negative gender dynamics are better in my class than previous STEM classes (though still present). Biggest positive factors Ss named? I never seat a girl in a group with only guys & I’m a woman. You can do at least one of those!

So sad to see so little mention of #Turkey & #Syria in my feed. Will we always be desensitized to the tragedies of that region of the world? #HumanizeTheCriminalized Surely watching footage of bodies being pulled from rubble should naturally lead to empathy & action #Not4Muslims

Recent events have reminded me I'm overdue on checking up on the earthquake kit. Got to cycle the water, check dates on canned goods / MREs / batteries etc, and make sure the kids haven't come across that triangle of life horseshit on the internet. Do you have an earthquake kit?

The most important court decision on abortion since Roe was overturned may come down this week - a ruling that could ban abortion medication in every single state.
And it doesn't seem like Democrats understand the stakes. At all.

What worries me about the “let’s set exams computers can’t do” narrative is that it is demotivating for students. You’re basically telling them their work isn’t worthwhile if a computer can do it better - importing the logic of the marketplace into the classroom.

Eating disorders are one of the most common disabilities, but we don't often include them when we talk about our community.
That must change.
Quote Tweet
It’s eating disorders awareness month. I’d love for the media coverage this year to focus on the fact that telling a child or a teenager their body is too big will absolutely increase their risk of developing an eating disorder.

Colleges must do more to respond to this moment. Not just to clap back at the College Board, but because students deserve this:
1) refuse to consider the SAT/ACT in admission decisions
2) partner with public schools to offer free dual credit courses, especially in Black studies

Today, I learned that the #NCTM style guide for writing articles for their journals advises AGAINST singular they! (and perpetuates "person-first" vocabulary for referring to disabled people!).
Why is NCTM stuck in the last century??
