@democracydocket Wait, am I understanding this correctly? Ohio will not accept military ID as proof for voting? So much for Ohio's vaunted pro military stance. Ohio is apparently not worthy of being home to the extraordinary Air Force Museum or of Wright Patterson AFB. Whoops - goodbye 35,000 jobs!
This Axios article ... interesting to see how private thoughts about the purpose of #school are different from what we assume is important to the rest of society. What's missing here altogether, though, is preparing #students to serve as collaborative problem-solvers who value shared belonging. I'd argue that's at the root of the purpose of American public #education. If people aren't naming that in a survey, we have work to do. @edutooters @edutooter #edutoot https://www.axios.com/2023/01/17/american-education-parenting-k12-framework

@Ronnie He got cherry pie and Foster’s as his present.
@Ronnie Your fifties will be the best years you’ve seen so far. Hubby stepped into 70 today.

@Free_Press It’s not even nipples, although they certainly use that as an excuse. They didn’t allow my tat photos, which cover up scars - I don’t even have nipples!
We are awaiting two SCOTUS decisions that will have major impacts on our democracy.
In Moore v. Harper, the Court could embrace a radical theory that may allow state legislatures to ignore their state constitutions when making laws for federal elections.

FL GOP Gov. "White is Right" Ron DeSantis: "AP African-American Studies Program, as Written, Violates Florida Law" - says the racist governor.
