Worth listening to this presentation by the Finnish President regarding the framework of a more legitimate Ukrainian ceasefire negotiation than the attempted hijacking of one currently underway between Putin and Trump. In order to achieve a sustainable peace the parties most directly involved must be front and centre, especially Ukraine, other European border states at threat from Putin, Europe as a whole, and the NATO alliance. Key points are that neither Russia - nor Russia and America - decide who is or not a member of either the EU or NATO. Those are decisions to be made by those organizations. In the case of NATO that means the alliance members, fore-mostly - but not unilaterally - America. It would be tragic if the American President's unilateral recklessness results in America withdrawing from NATO for the life of his Presidency. But it would be even more tragic if his ill-advised and arrogant pursuit of a pseudo peace trophy leaves Europe exposed by enabling even greater aggression and war crimes by Putin. Read your history to understand how that happens.
Listen to the Finnish president—this is what a real leader sounds like, unlike the nonsense Trump says.

When we find ourselves with thoughts like these on the left, let’s take a moment to critically reflect. What might I be missing in communicating with my students? #education #educators #behavioriscommunication #appliededucationalneuroscience #backtoschool #discipline

Please do not use Teachers Pay Teachers for ANYTHING to do with #OrangeShirtDay. Not only is TPT NOT audited for equity and cultural appropriation, creators are literally making money off of Indigenous trauma. I will continue to share free vetted resources this month! 🧡🪶

In school, Kamala Harris and Tim Walz were the people befriending kids like Gus Walz and defending them from bullies. Donald Trump, JD Vance, and their supporters were the ones bullying them. This election is about character and decency. We need to show up.

R is for Rainbow! 🌈 Rainbow flags have been waving in honor of the LGBTQIA+ community since 1978. These symbols continue to evolve and take new forms, like the 2018 Progress Pride Flag by Daniel Quasar. Together, let's learn what each of these colors represent! #PrideMonth
