OMG THIS IS AMAZING:

The MAGA Arizona county who refused to certify the results of the November election will cost Republicans a seat in the House: If the 47,000 ballots are not included in the final tally, Democrat Kirsten Engel will take the seat. -Jon Cooper

For those of us still wondering whether Merrick Garland will hold Trump and his key enablers accountable in the wake of the Stuart Rhodes' seditious conspiracy verdict: "The department will work tirelessly to hold accountable those responsible for crimes related to the attack on our democracy on Jan. 6th." May it be soon.

Academia friends: could you recommend any BA programs in English which have gone through a process of reinvention to diversify or 'decolonize' their course requirements and offerings? We are looking for models as we begin work on rethinking the Literature major and minors at Stevens.

How about instead of destroying America’s supply chain, canceling trains, and ruining peoples' plans, uber-profitable railway companies give their workers the paid sick leave they deserve?

@AlliFlowers I hate blocking resources for teachers, and I know a lot of #k-5 educators use TPT for resources, especially seasonal projects. Kind of wondering if a general warning will serve, just to be safe. It irks me that ransomware hackers specifically target schools - like our budgets aren't tight enough!

I am ashamed that a growing number of Americans--Republican, mostly—say we are doing too much to help Ukraine. Most Americans aren’t making any sacrifice. It is the Ukrainians who are sacrificing everything to fight for the democratic values we hold dear. http://bit.ly/3V0VxgX

Hello people of the Fediverse! Some of you may have heard that a new Mastodon client, Ivory,  is in development for iOS (and Mac!). This is true! Tapbots is going all in on Mastodon and we hope this place continues to grow and thrive. Tweetbot will continue to be developed alongside Ivory as a lot of code is shared. A new Mac version of Tweetbot and Ivory are also currently in development and we are working hard on getting those towards a public beta state.

Bills travel through the mail at twice the speed of checks.

Hey all you fellow Twitter refugees! If you can't quit Twitter entirely, how about cross posting from Mastodon to Twitter, rather than the other way around? Here's a tool to do that!!
