BREAKING: Donald Trump gets crushing news as retail giant Kohl's refuses to sponsor ANY Republican National Convention events in their home town of Milwaukee where they opened their first store in 1927. But it gets even better... “Kohl’s is not a political organization nor donor and is not sponsoring nor engaging in any specific RNC events,” said a Kohl's spokesperson. "We support the business community through the Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce." The rationale is not hard to untangle. At the RNC convention in Milwaukee, Donald Trump will become the first convicted felon in American history to receive the presidential nomination of a major party. The Republicans are proudly advertising themselves as a criminal organization. The MAGA brand grows more radioactive by the day. Please retweet and ❤️ to thank Kohl's for taking a stand — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new pro-democracy social network that is exploding in popularity because Twitter and Facebook are trying to stop its growth — which is only making Tribel grow even faster.

@FixingEducation 4/4 like math and reading. All of these things will help along with items mentioned by others. Paperwork, money, supplies.

5 𝗬𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗦 𝗔𝗚𝗢 “Teachers need to either stop complaining or quit!” 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗡𝗢𝗪 Teachers have left the profession at record rates. America is currently short 300,000+ teachers….and it’s only getting worse. NOW WHAT?

@FixingEducation 3/3 not Right. When they are young it is the best time to learn they can fail, but learn and improve from experience. How ever if you go in and say it couldn’t be my child, you set them up to think good behavior & manners matter. You can also reinforce skills at home like

@FixingEducation 2/2 to go to preschool. Even then they haven’t learned please or thank you. Parents it is your responsibility to begin these skills. Also with respect for adults. Also attend school events. And listen to teachers, and realize your child is not perfect, and might do something

@FixingEducation Parents need to parent! Teachers shouldn’t have to teach basics like basic Manners, respect for adults. Yes teachers do these things, to increase learning and how to act in world. We don’t see the children until they reach about age 5. Unless they are lucky to go to 1/1

100 things kids will miss if they don’t have a school librarian. @aasl @AISLEd_org

@IllyNOTLilly It's a drap hook. This one is for the end

Who can tell me what this is?

@ HP your technical service sucks! Especially on a new printer. I had one Tech hang up on me, after telling me there is a charge for them to fix the issue.

@kaypayslay Have a blast

the amount of things i can fit in a suitcase should be studied and preserved for society...

@BitsyKemper I have heard several times. I am Over 50.

Anyone heard the term “giving up the ghost” before? If so, are you under or over, say, 50? I heard it for first time and am wondering how common it is (and, well, if it’s just me)

@CTSXinvest @LqLana texastribune.org/2023/08/11/tex…

@LqLana Post link to factual article. Sound like some made up 💩 at this point

A pregnant Texas corrections officer had contraction-like pains while she was on the job. She asked to leave, her Supervisor said that she could not. By the time she was allowed to leave it was too late. She subsequently delivered a stillborn baby. Radical Republicans spend their days and nights saying that life begins at fertilization. The woman is suing; Texas’ defense is that the fetus didn't have rights. Hypocrisy at its finest. #FreshWords

Hey Chicago! :) I'm working on a story for @BlockClubCHI about the history of Dibs. I'm looking to talk to some older folks who remember how the tradition got started. If you're interested in being interviewed or know of anyone who might be, let me know!

@ReadingMeyer @AISLEd_org I am going on Dec 5th.

Will I see anyone else from @AISLEd_org there on Dec 6? #schoollibrariesmatter

@ABC May she rest in Peace. A great example of a First Lady!
