JUST IN: Progressive Nithya Raman will advance to the general election and face incumbent Karen Bass in the Los Angeles mayoral race, according to Decision Desk HQ projections. It’s over for former reality TV villain Spencer Pratt.

I've been waiting a long time for this to open--will wait a little while until the crowds thin out a bit but I'm starting to have visions of a trip to the Windy City this fall!

It was great meeting with the talented folks who’ll be working at the Obama Presidential Center. We're excited to welcome everybody here soon!

Excellent. In my county, commissioners decided to no longer allow public comment at meetings. People strongly oppose data centers but our elected officials refuse to listen. We can vote them out, but the damage will already have been done.

Indeed. My own dad enlisted in the Navy the second he graduated from HS & served on PT boats in the South Pacific. Died when I was a baby but he's my hero to this day.

82 years ago today my grandfather, who lied about his age to enlist in the military, was in one of the first waves of landing crafts to hit the beaches of Normandy. He's been gone a long time now, but today I remember him and the other brave souls who fought and died for a righteous cause.

Love the notion of students helping to create authentic assessments for other learners! This empowers students & also honors the work experience, insights, and competencies they bring to the table. #AcademicSky #EduSky #assessment

Performative politics may seem like a fun or entertaining way to win an election, but it has long term consequences. Call me old fashioned, but I still believe politicians should be public servants committed to serving the greater good.

Ron DeSantis just realized Florida’s short 9,000 teachers. Who would have ever thought that demonizing educators, banning books, and turning classrooms into warzones might make people quit?

A few takeaways: (1) #Highered institutions are better at enrolling students than retaining them; (2) They need to improve their processes for identifying at-risk students & providing support; #AcademicSky #EduSky www.insidehighered.com/news/student...

2.1M Students Left Higher Ed Without a Degree Last Year

1/2 I've either observed or experienced every one of these. It's even worse when the image of a leader or supervisor comes to mind, because that person sets the example & creates a work culture for the entire department. #AcademicSky #EduSky media.licdn.com/dms/image/v2...

It requires having experienced staff to make sure #highered institutions are using solid assessments, are collecting & analyzing data, & helping admins to make data-informed programmatic decisions. #AcademicSky #EduSky
