2022-2023 school year I teach ELA 6 and will be working to invite my students to engage in understanding the importance of good communication skills and honing these skills as a cooperative learning community. In that spirit, I will be posting resources here as I create them.

We all deserve a better world than this and we deserve it now.

I'm a former defense attorney and currently a civil liberties attorney with no political dog in this fight. I watched the video at least 10 times from different angles and at different speeds and waited to offer an opinion, which I still reserve the right to change if additional

It’s instructive that a billionaire who thinks affordability is a made-up crisis also thinks your local public school can be improved on the cheap. In related news: Vivek is a “serious thinker” who “knows what the hell he’s talking about”

NYT: In the last four months alone, immigration officers have fired on at least nine people in five states and Washington, D.C. All of the individuals targeted in those shootings were, like the woman killed on Wednesday, fired on while in their vehicles. In each case, officials

Minneapolis protestors are outside of the City Courthouse calling on ICE to leave their city after murdering Renee Good: “ICE out now! ICE out now!”

I just left the Venezuela briefing. It's worse than you thought. Oil company executives seem to know more about Trump's secret plan to "run" Venezuela than the American people. We need public Senate hearings NOW.

By defending this ICE shooting, what they’re telling you is that they can do this to any of us.

Renee Nicole Good, the woman shot & killed by an ICE agent, had a young son whose father died in 2023, according to the Star Tribune “There’s nobody else in his life,” the boy’s grandfather said. “I’ll drive. I’ll fly. To come get my grandchild.” https://t.co/KNy7fbMIFW

Will we be a country that believes in democracy and the sovereignty of collective societies, ruled by democratic systems of laws or will we begin guerrilla warfare and create a world ruled by force?

Of course we need to safeguard against fraud. But with Trump/GOP smelling blood on federal child care supports, the whole investment is at risk. Providers across the country rely on these subsidies and. Will. Have. To. Close. Families will lose care whether low-income or not.

This is insane. A peaceful protestor was arrested in Grand Rapids, Michigan live on air after speaking the truth about U.S. war crimes and imperialism against Venezuela.

If any reporters want to talk about rampant fraud and abuse in taxpayer-funded systems outside of child care: I’m happy to tell you all about the ghost students, non-existent schools, Disney tix and more in red state ESA/voucher schemes. And I welcome Republicans to the fight.

If Trump were serious about the overdose crisis, he wouldn't be kicking people off of Medicaid or defunding drug treatment and prevention programs. He certainly wouldn't be pardoning major narco traffickers like Juan Orlando Hernández.

Trump said it again, “We are going to run the country. We are going to stay, we are going to have our large U.S. oil companies go in…” It’s clear and they have said it in all ways- this is not about drugs, democracy or care for Venezuelans. It’s about profit! Shamelessly and

I’m heartbroken to hear of the sudden passing of Bill Martin and extend my condolences to his family, friends and colleagues at the Valentine Museum. Bill and I shared a passion for telling a complete history of Richmond and our Commonwealth, even when it was uncomfortable. His

ICE is planning to hold up to 10,000 migrants in a warehouse in Stafford, Va., according to The Washington Post. ICE’s acting director said the goal is to move migrants “Like [Amazon] Prime, but with human beings.” https://t.co/JCtFeQ0G7y
