I miss the math Twitter days. Over on LinkedIn sharing- not the same. But I shared a coaching thing I did this week. Thanks @ddmeyer.bsky.social for reposting & friends for liking. That gave me a little of the old days feeling! 😊 @jennalaib.bsky.social @kathyhen.bsky.social @nolanfossum.bsky.social
Soul filling to see my garden full of these cute pollinators! 🐝🦋
If getting an A becomes a zero sum calculation in which harming another student’s grade will necessarily improve your own chances, I can’t imagine the emergent classroom dynamics.
Did you know this story of how 11 Deaf men contributed to NASA research? I’m sharing this with my preservice students today. They are future special education teachers in my math methods course. @mathematize4all.bsky.social www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8gAhYC5/

It's a clear and sunny day in Chicago. ICE is out and about, with vehicles sighted across the city and suburbs. Berwyn Cicero Rapid Response just confirmed feds took two people from Cicero shortly after 8am.

I had the opportunity to share some mathy ideas as a keynote speaker yesterday. 🎤 Shared a favorite quote from @mburnsmath.bsky.social. Also shared @tracyzager.bsky.social’s book, Slow Reveal Graphs @jennalaib.bsky.social, Open Middle @robertkaplinsky.com & @mathematize4all.bsky.social’s book ✨🥰
Getting word of federal immigration agents operating in multiple areas around Chicagoland this morning. Rapid responders report agents took at least one person around 7 a.m. from Chicago's Hermosa neighborhood; agents were also seen in the suburb of Berwyn, though it's not clear if anyone was taken.
Reading American history will break your heart a thousand times but it will also fill you with such admiration and awe for all the people who were excluded from the protection of America’s founding principles and fought to promote, protect and expand them anyways
Like Kendrick, political as hell precisely because it doesn't bother to acknowledge the haters. They're irrelevant, beneath attention. And nothing is more intolerable to fascists than the thought that their enemies are cool, enjoying themselves, and not thinking about them.
Don't know where to start with all the things I loved about this halftime show but it was brilliant. The staging, the sugar cane, the representation, the dancing, the JOY. Yes, yes, yes.
14 year old me: I love Green Day! Billie Joe is so cute. *hangs posters in room* 20’s me: still love! Views align. 30’s me: yep, 💚 40’s me: *whew! Of course views align. People angry that Green Day is political? Haha* Yesss, go Green Day!

Good afternoon from downtown Chicago, where despite heavy snowfall, thousands have gathered for an anti-ICE/CBP demonstration in solidarity with the Twin Cities. More are still streaming in. Lt. Illinois Gov. Juliana Stratton just addressed the crowd, and called for ICE to be abolished.
One of the best organizers I know in the Twin Cities has a great line, "We can't always take away the hurt, but we can take away the alone."
The "pedagogy of poverty" revisited: Recent nationwide evidence confirms once again that low-income and minority students are far more likely to get the least beneficial kind of teaching (viz., teacher-centered direct instruction) - in this case, in 8th/9th grade math classes: tinyurl.com/jufem2mu

Gotta remind yourself not to cry when you see the kid's signs. It's negative -25°F and tears are dangerous. "LEAVE MY FRIENDS ALONE!" "ICE GIT OUT YA FUCKIN DUMBIES 😡"
The U.S. officially exits the World Health Organization. I know we are beyond asking why the Regime does the awful things they do because the answer is always greed, hatefulness or stupidity but sometimes I just can’t help wondering WTF is wrong with these people. abcnews.go.com/Health/us-of...
US officially exits World Health Organization, accusing agency of straying 'from its core mission'
The U.S. has officially completed its withdrawal from the World Health Organization, HHS and the Department of State announced on Thursday.

It's annoying that we already had so many existing problems to solve before these assholes created a bunch of new ones for no reason
I’m teaching math methods for special education preservice teachers this semester. Saving this article to share when we talk about data and statistics! Also, I feel like my data and graph-loving pal, @jennalaib.bsky.social would like this!

I don’t know why anyone’s still talking about reforming ICE. It’s out of control. There is nothing here to save.
