🤔 What are the positive impacts of youth involvement in out-of-school-time opportunities❓ Read more in our Innovation of the Month iteration for January 2022 👉🏾 bit.ly/34gJ0jH
A good reminder that US press freedoms are truly unusual, and need fighting for nytimes.com/2021/12/24/opi…
In 2021, states passed more laws regulating Black voters, Black history and Black protesters than guns, masks or police.
I think there's this idea that the rich and powerful surely don't want things to get tooo bad. But America's 650 billionaires got over $1 trillion richer during the pandemic. All change is an opportunity for profit. And climate change will be no different.
A cool thing just happened with one of my favorite stories about Black History. It began when a Black community went up against LITERALLY one of the most powerful corporations in America A thread:
After being asked about Critical Race Theory, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley delivers an answer every American should watch.
In case you forgot, Republican members of Congress incited an insurrection, refused to convict the former president, and are working around the clock to cover up their actions. I'm not interested in compromise with members that have no interest in governing.
🎉WE’RE OPEN!!! Welcome back to the KCDML! Meet our Summer Vistas and see what we’re up to this summer!
“(Libraries) are temples of openness and equality. They feed hungers that are very real, for practical survival but also for imaginative joy.” ICYMI watch our program w/ author & historian Rebecca Solnit to celebrate our June 1 reopening: ow.ly/ezep50EYDZM
There are 30m Black adults in the U.S. If you asked most people "how many receive cash 'welfare'?" what would they say? 10m? 5m? 10% (3m)? The answer is 135,000 (less than 0.5%). And most receive it for 6 mo or less. "Dependence" stereotypes are racist garbage.
The fact that GOP voter suppression efforts still being described as partisan battle instead of all-out assault on democracy is unconscionable
"the study revealed that cities that exhibit a particular empowering effect are not only those with a physical infrastructure that is more Jacobian (density and diversity) but also where more people have an open orientation – where psychological openness is particularly strong."

In distributed work, different people need different support: autonomy for some, conspicuous monitoring for others; explicit boundaries for some, self-regulation for others; and, project complexity that matches individual capacity. socos.org/episode/remote
No matter the reason for their absence, school district officials should work to locate & reengage students who are chronically absent or disengaged in a non-punitive manner. Practice has shown that personal outreach is a promising reengagement strategy. www2.ed.gov/documents/coro…
