It's Time for Teachers to Break Up with Amazon ILSR's guide to hosting and supporting teacher wish lists without using Amazon

"Every time teachers post a classroom wish list on Amazon, they’re essentially voting against their next pay raise."

Terrific β€”Β and very actionable β€”Β post from my colleague @kennedysmith.bsky.social

Come help gather signatures to get this great initiative on the ballot! (Also probably get some chocolate from the organizers.)

I'm just going to say a thing.

What a person looks like is not reflective of their soul. Insulting the appearance of bad people who do bad things as an outcome or indication of their rotten hearts perpetuates the notion that conventional beauty = virtue, a myth that's led to untold human damage.

If we just required ICE agents to have name tags it would prevent them from ramming people with cars

Newspaper article by Sarah Nelson. Headline: Former acting U.S. Attorney Joe Thompson to represent Don Lemon. Text: Ex-CNN anchor Don Lemon will be represented by former acting U.S. Attorney Joe Thompson in his criminal case tied to the anti-ICE demonstration at a St. Paul church service on Jan. 18, according to court records.

Thompson, who departed the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Minnesota amid a wave of resignations mid-January, notified the court Tuesday about appearing as Lemon’s lawyer.

Lemon was among several people charged by the Justice Department with conspiracy against religious freedom in the aftermath of the disruption at Cities Church. He, along with Nekima Levy Armstrong, Chauntyll Allen, Will Kelly and Jerome Richardson are slated to be arraigned Friday in St. Paul.

ICE Lawyer Ruins Her Life
ICE Lawyer Ruins Her Life YouTube video by LegalEagle

Shout-out to my colleague @danielsuitor.com who is mentioned prominently on a LegalEagle video! Thanks for your incredible legal work during the federal occupation, Dan! Also the video is a good watch on the blatant disregard for the courts DHS has. www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6o-...

I visited 12 precinct caucuses last night. Nobody talked about reforming ICE. Lots of cheers when people introduced the "Abolish ICE" platform.

Larry Lucio is a leader who shows up with care, consistency, and a deep love for the West Side. I’m grateful to serve alongside him on the West Side Community Organization (WSCO) board and honored to have his endorsement. His grounded, community-first leadership means a great deal to me.

I really hope that not only great community connections, but the infrastructure for these connections, continues after ICE leaves and is abolished forever.

My colleagues in housing court tell me the increase in evictions has already begun. We need an eviction moratorium. It can be limited only for nonpayment of rent, and even limited to protecting rent from December 1 onward, but we need to pause these evictions now. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

I’ll be candid. Sharing an endorsement nows feels dystopian, but lifting each other up matters.

I’m proud to share that Soleil Ramirez of Crasqui has endorsed my campaign. A true pillar of our community, Soleil *SHOWS UP* and it’s an honor to stand alongside her and our community.
