Irving Finkel - youtu.be/9mZ4XQtGX4k?feature… via @YouTube There is no better teacher. Every student you show this to will love it. He is so interested in this, that no one listening and watching him can help but find it interesting too. Every teacher can and should teach, from time to time, what they LOVE to talk about. This is one of secrets of "relationship" with your students. And when you ask them to teach you and each other what they love....that's the genuine Masters Degree in Education that doesn't need a diploma. The extraordinary Irving Finkel. @teacher2teacher @DrBradJohnson @XQAmerica

From the Colorado Springs forum last night--"One thing that stood out to me tonight was the focus on solutions rather than simply pointing out problems. I also appreciate seeing leaders who are present in the community year-round, not just when it's election season." Pass it on.

Adi Hasak @adihasak LOVE your show Shades of Blue!!!!!!

In a world filled with amazing police procedurals in so many countries, one that stands out is Shades of Blue. The writing, the story telling, the acting, the production....all of it is truly amazing. Starring Jennifer Lopez @JLo, and the gone too soon Ray Liotta, and Drea de Matteo @dreadematteo, and featuring Dayo Okeniyi, Vincent Laresca, Hampton Fluker, Sarah Jeffery, Warren Kole @DayoOkeniyi @vinnyel @hampton_fluker @_Sarah_Jeffery and @warren_kole.

Fear, indifference, and the violence of those who trade in human life must not have the final word. The final word belongs to Christ, who identifies with the stranger, touches the wounds of humanity, and calls us to recognize Him in every brother and sister who needs to be welcomed, protected, supported, and integrated. Let us lift our gaze to Him, without turning away from those who suffer. Let us look to the Lord to learn to see our brothers and sisters through His eyes.

From this square, I wish to address a clear message to those who take advantage of people’s desperation, to those who organize death routes, traffic in human beings, withhold documents, exploit workers, threaten women, deceive families, and turn the suffering of others into a business. Stop! Repent! (Mk 1:15) #ApostolicJourney vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/e…

Out-of-state billionaires. Big Tech. Insurance companies. Special interests are spending millions to elect Bennet. I'm proud to be running a campaign powered by Coloradans, not special interests. When I'm Governor, my sole job description will be to fight for the people of CO.

This is exactly how it was designed to be under Project 2025. MAGA have installed their Caesar as was the aim of those who bought him the keys to the White House and are pulling the strings in the shadows. This is why government no longer functions as intended by the Founding Fathers. Washington is now the headquarters of feudal America where Trump is king (until he isn’t). Take a listen to Peter Baker from the New York Times, in this trailer for the documentary Trump’s Power and the Rule of law. 🎥 TikTok - vm.tiktok.com/ZNRchcEmH/

Good interview

Look at the pure unadulterated joy of this boy with Down Syndrome who got a chance to meet the Pope and give him a present.

The man of God we need now continues to speak the truth and lead and teach the whole world. Thank you Your Holiness. The Cardinals knew what they were doing when they picked the American Pope from Chicago @Pontifex. When every leader of a Catholic Church (and other faiths too @TorahJudaism @islam) publicly take this stand in his first sentence, with Leo, the whole world will follow.

More from you on Twitter Charles, is respectfully requested!

Word of the day (or maybe the year) that needs to be taught in every middle and high school classroom, @MITeacher1993 brought to us by this future winner of the Presidential Medal of Freedom: "Xenophobia." google.com/search?q=Xenophob…

I just play it on repeat since yesterday: "Hello Pope Leo XIV, I'm Renzo, I'm six years old. I'd like to ask you a few questions." Renzo, a little a boy from the poor neighborhood of Barcelona, stole the show yesterday at St. Augustine's parish, a place where Pope Leo admitted he "feels at home." Renzo in the sweetest way ever asked those questions to the pope: Do you like soccer? When you were little, did you want to be Pope? Why are my mom and dad worried? Why does my dad have so many jobs? Why do bad things happen to some people and not to others? Whose fault is it? Why are there so many people living on the streets? Does no one see them? Does no one help them? How can we help if the world is so big? Does God want there to be poor and rich? Why are there so many lonely grandparents, if they are so important? And one last question ... Must we always forgive? What pope Leo answered the boy was really moving. "Regarding whether I like football, I confess that I play tennis and I enjoy it very much, but I also appreciate football; in fact, during my years as bishop in Peru, I liked to follow how some local teams were doing; and now, as Pope, I have also received football clubs and sports groups," the pope said, adding that "sport is important because it helps us grow up healthy in body and mind." He said that as World Cup unfolds, "many will be watching the matches. Football reminds us of something we must not forget: life is not a race to show off alone, but a path we learn to travel together." "Whoever doesn't know how to pass the ball, even if they have talent, hasn't yet understood the game. And whoever doesn't know how to live with others and for others hasn't yet understood life." Answering whether he wanted to be Pope when he was little, the pope said: "Well, Renzo, I don't think so. I don't think I ever thought about it." "But I can tell you something: from a young age, I felt the desire to dedicate my life to God. I didn't yet know exactly how or where the Lord would lead me. Over time, I discovered that Jesus was calling me to follow him as a priest, and that this path led through the Order of Saint Augustine." "But this isn't just true for me," he said. "Every child is a dream of God. You are too. God desires the happiness of all and wants us, from childhood and throughout our lives, to have a heart like that of children (cf. Mt 18:3): capable of trusting, full of kindness; he wants us to be his friends and not turn away from him. Therefore, more important than asking oneself whether one will be a priest, doctor, teacher, parent, or anything else, is asking oneself whether one wants to be a friend of Jesus. Because friendship with Jesus gives us joy, sets us free, and helps us to see, step by step, the vocation and the path that God has planned for each of us." Answering the point on injustices in the world, Pope Leo told the boy that "through the life of Jesus Christ, God shows us that, although there is suffering, he never abandons any of his children, because he has prepared for us an eternal joy where there will be no more sadness or pain. Let us have confidence, Jesus is with us, he helps us and accompanies us, and gives us strength to go through the difficult moments we may encounter in life." Stressing that grandparents play a crucial role in families, the pope said: "Let us not allow loneliness and abandonment to become normalized in the lives of older adults. That is a very sad thing. Let's have our hearts open to all of them." On forgiveness, he told Renzo and those gathered: "It does not mean forgetting by force, as if nothing had happened. Forgiveness means not letting hatred become the master of our hearts ... our willingness to forgive is a condition for the forgiveness we receive from God." Video: Vatican Media

Obama was the real thing as @POTUS.

THIS is the most salient and honest ways to point out the truth about the truth as to the wars America is fighting.

Bill Gates may be the most--surely one the most-- honest and community service oriented billionaires. He'll tell the truth, and as @pontifex and the training in Catholicism will confirm, "The Truth Will Set You Free".

HOLY CRAP Trump actually accomplished a miracle. Here is what he got out of Iran: - Reduce its stockpile of enriched uranium by about 98% - Limit uranium enrichment to 3.67% purity (far below weapons-grade) - Cut the number of installed centrifuges by roughly two-thirds - Only enrich uranium at one declared site (Natanz) - Stop enrichment activities at Fordow and convert it into a research facility - Redesign the Arak heavy-water reactor so it could not easily produce weapons-grade plutonium - Ship out or dilute excess enriched uranium Allow extensive inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Permit continuous monitoring of nuclear facilities and supply chains - Accept “snap” inspections under expanded monitoring rules - Avoid building new heavy-water reactors for years - Stay within strict limits on uranium stockpile size and centrifuge development for set periods ranging from 10–25 years Ooops, sorry! That was the JCPOA that Obama signed with Iran, only to have him tear it up, kill 140 kids, get hundreds of Americans injured, 13 killed, and gas prices to surge 50%.
