🚨PLEASE🚨 If you attended #HandsOff today, be sure to ☎️ call (202-224-3121) or 💻 email your 2 Senators and 1 Congressperson to say WHY you attended. One sentence is enough. Please.

I keep hearing people say that we should not panic we will get through this somehow we will get through this, but I must confess at this point I am beginning to lose track of how many catastrophes we are currently trying to get through.

Gonna make a $24.19 donation today because when you actually show up to call out the harm being done instead of just going along with it, that deserves an acknowledgment. Well done to the Senator from New Jersey.

Oooh okay maybe I will do this! #Napomo

If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.

Please, please read and donate if you can—and share if you can’t. There but for the grace of God go all of us—and we all need to be able to believe in the good of humanity.

All right, we have a local family who have absolutely been through the wringer for the past five years, and they are in emergent circumstances. This is the Fresquez family; the other day, y'all helped save their belongings in storage and get their phones turned back on.

Making my @5calls.org rounds today and just got the message that the Senate phone system is offline due to call volume. KEEP IT UP, EVERYONE. #CallYourRepresentatives

#Edchat the novelty of analog tasks that require critical thinking gets me more student engagement than any tech-based activity I do.

We shaved our heads!! We’re still about $500 out from our goal…the fundraiser is open for another week!! Can you help us fight pediatric cancer? www.stbaldricks.org/teams/twobal...

This afternoon I spent a few hours eating crepes and drinking tea with brand new French-speaking friends and their adorable kids. It’s the best time I’ve had in a long time. 💕

I went to give blood today, met a lovely French family, and scored an invite to a francophone gathering at their house this afternoon. Doing good never paid off so quickly. #GiveBlood #MultilingualismRocks

Two days until Shave Day! Help us fund pediatric cancer research!

This Sunday, my wife and I are shaving our heads to raise money for pediatric cancer research (which received 4% of total cancer research funding BEFORE...all this). If you are interested in making the world suck a little less, we would be so grateful for your financial and signal/boosting support.

I wrote a thing about being a tool of white supremacy culture in education. White people, we have to be able to say, write and hear these words. White supremacy is not the shark; it's the water. juliabkoch.wordpress.com/2025/03/03/t...

The Water Is Not Fine

It is incredibly difficult to talk about the characteristics of a culture that is based on white supremacy.  Part of this stems from the sheer charge of emotion that permeates the phrase.&nbsp…

Hoping I can find some of this energy this week.

There are times when you gotta come in with the energy of Jesus flipping the tables. That's the energy the Dems need.

Alexander Graham Bell funded the Milan Conference in 1880, where ASL was banned and oralism was enforced, because Deaf people should just speak. Graham Bell’s wife was Deaf. In which: another white man with money makes decisions for a whole group of people.

“Every language has colonization. Colonization always equates to some BS. BS makes champions: the fight for language justice is born and reborn.” @nectfl.bsky.social #NECTFL25

We’re making money using other people’s languages—it’s our job to bridge the gap! It’s our job to continue to CONTINUE to educate ourselves, to earn our stripes and be okay with being tested. @nectfl.bsky.social #NECTFL25

LANGUAGE. IS. ALWAYS. POLITICAL. We are politicians. We are BIRTHING little politicians because we are instructing little language users—and the way we use language informs how they will use language. -Dr Nicole Morgan is speaking TRUTH this morning. @nectfl.bsky.social

Students need to see words and phrases up to 150 times before it sticks—students looking at chat mats isn’t cheating, it’s STUDYING! #NECTFL25

“What does she want??” If my students feel unsure about my expectations, I know from Krashen that they won’t speak! How can I make expectations clearer by providing supports—LIKE CHAT MATS? #NECTFL25 @nectfl.bsky.social

An activity is just an activity without the correct approach—how do we create an environment in which our students will speak? Starting day 2 at #NECTFL25 with Christina Margiore learning about chat mats! @nectfl.bsky.social

Speed pitching: if elevator pitching and speed dating had a kid. I LOVE this idea for a purpose-driven interpersonal activity! These Tenafly teachers are breaking my brain with all of these ideas! #NECTFL25 @nectfl.bsky.social
