🚨🚨🚨For the next 48 hrs, I'm gift matching donations for @ukrainetrustchain. I've met their volunteers and you can see their work here. 🔗ukrainetrustchain.org/
They help deliver aid & evacuate people from war zones. 🇺🇦❤️
I'll match every $ up to $500 (and post my donation) if you DM me or reply w a screenshot of your donation. I started $100 to get rolling-that can help evacuate more than 30 people!
RT appreciated. 🙏🏻

#UkraineTrustChain teams are shaken, alive, working harder than ever to help people targeted by #Russian terrorism, rockets & hate.
On this devastating day, teams have asked us to pass messages of gratitude to all of our supporters and asked for continued help for #Ukraine.

We want to thank @trudyrubin at @PhillyInquirer for going to #Ukraine in person and writing this in-depth piece on Kseniia's team & #UkraineTrustChain.
This covers our founding, an old #Kyiv connection & a lot of amazing work from our heroic volunteers.

Pause for a moment and listen to one of the talented children at Andriy's shelter run by @detidpua. These children deserve a future. #UkraineWillResist #Ukrainewillprevail

So, I am a high school teacher.
Does today's SCOTUS decision protect my right to announce before every class that religion is a lie, god doesn't exist and Mary of Nazareth, in all likelihood, slept with a Roman soldier and made up a story to hide her shame?

Thank you to everyone who donated this past week.
Your generosity helped to evacuate 4,450 people, including 100 infants and toddlers from an orphanage. Your contributions also helped feed 6,500 people/day and provided critical equipment for hospitals.

There’s more we can do. The no fly zone may very well be a bridge to far, but let’s at least arm Ukraine to deny Russia open skies. Ukraine needs more air defense and drones!
A friend in Ukraine asked me to share this. Please watch.

We can and must do more. No holding back on sanctions - all banks (foreign as well) should be banned from operating in Russia, all Russian banks sanctioned. Secure the humanitarian corridors. Provide more sophisticated weapons. No more kids gloves.

Talked to @POTUS, @OlafScholz, @eucopresident, @AndrzejDuda, @BorisJohnson. Urge to stop Putin, war against 🇺🇦 & the world immediately! Building an anti-Putin coalition. Immediate sanctions, defense & financial support to 🇺🇦! Close the airspace! The world must force 🇷🇺 into peace

Noting that Putin is demanding the "denazification" of a country led by an elected Jewish president.

President Zelensky says Russia is attacking military installations across the country. Ukraine is launching its own defensive measures. He urges Ukrainians to stay calm and stay home. He says he spoke to President Biden.

Living in America means constantly saying to yourself, 'unbelievable' and then saying, 'well actually, extremely fucking believable.'

Being real for a few... but I hate that I have to convince myself everyday to go to a job that I used to love. And don't get me wrong - it's not the kids and it's not the lesson planning - those I still enjoy. It's the situation of it all. I feel beaten down and weary.

How are school administrators connecting with students during virtual learning?

“We fucked up and pretended that social services weren’t necessary for a functioning society
and dumped all that on schools.
Now that we’ve been hit with a pandemic, that’s REALLY biting us in the ass
and instead of trying to fix it, we’re just going to ask teachers to die.”

I saw a teacher friend of mine post "I wonder how social distancing will work when we run school shooter drills in the classroom this Fall."
Everything. About. This. Sentence. Is. Wrong.
Ask yourself how we got here?

We’ll be running a remote workshop July 24, 9 am-4 pm PST, focusing on the math habit of “Tinker and Invent.” This will be a dive deep into classroom structures & tasks that promote students posing & exploring their own mathematical questions. Register at habitsofmath.com.
