🚨 POLAND'S PRESIDENT WENT IN HIMSELF!
After midnight in Warsaw, President Karol Nawrocki walked up to the Constitutional Tribunal with the head of Poland's Supreme Court.
The judges installed by Tusk's side stood in the DOORWAY to block him.
On the video you can hear Nawrocki saying, "Please step aside, excuse me, ma'am."
He got in.
His office says they laid hands on the head of state. A Tusk ally says Nawrocki attacked the judges.
The elected president had to push his way into his own country's top court.

I'm listening to the Sold a Story podcast season two, which is on math education in the US, and it is enough to give me an aneurysm, seriously. The season opens with a bunch of little kids' voices doing very basic algebra, and you learn later that these are poor Black four-year-olds, and all of them are getting the problems correct. Oh, and they're super engaged.
Apparently, there was a group that figured out you can have kids go very fast in math if you just did direct instruction. But somehow, culturally, this was deemed "too hard" and too much of a "pressure cooker" for little kids.
It's pretty funny because it's not like there was any high-stakes testing or anything. It literally was just teaching the kids instead of "letting them discover it themselves."
I did a master's in education, and there was a lot of content in the program about equity, and how socioeconomic class, parental habits and attitudes, and level of education really shape a kid's academic achievement. It's just infuriating to hear that when they discovered a teaching method that works in spite of these disadvantages, it was thrown out as being, I guess, somehow not "fun" enough. It's difficult to believe that they didn't actually have ulterior motives.

THERE IT IS 🚨 Fox News Senior Editor of Investigation finds the mass protests in France are linked to 50 organizations, many are the SAME PAID PROTEST NETWORKS OPERATING IN AMERICA
“Most of them are Communist, Socialist and Far-Left groups — 2 of them are really strong Islamist groups. So you have this nexus of the red, which is the Far-Left and the Socialists and Communists, with the green, which is the Muslim and Islamist groups. And so, following the money brought me right back to New York City”
The investigation finds its the exact same organizations that are funding ICE protests and pro-Palestine protests and many other protests in America
It’s all paid and organized destruction of western civilization
“There is this global network of the socialists and communists that are working with anyone that they can in order to bring mayhem”
I looked into it and here’s a detailed breakdown of the groups
Communist and socialist youth groups:
- Communist Youth of Greece
- La Jeunesse Communiste (visible with hammer-and-sickle and “Class War” banners)
- Le Poing Levé (“The Raised Fist”; linked to Révolution Permanente)
- Union de la Jeunesse Communiste (UJC)
Communist, Marxist, Trotskyist and Revolutionary-Socialist Organizations
- International Communist League (Trotskyist)
- Jeunesse du Monde (linked to Organisation Communiste de France)
- La France insoumise (LFI / France Unbowed)
- Nouveau Parti anticapitaliste – L’Anticapitaliste (NPA)
- Organisation communiste révolutionnaire
- Parti communiste français (PCF; French Communist Party; leader Fabien Roussel publicly supported demonstrators)
- Parti des Indigènes de la République (PIR)
- Parti de l’égalité socialiste (Trotskyist)
- Revolutionary Communist Group (British)
- Révolution Permanente (Trotskyist)
- World Socialist Web Site (Trotskyist media)
Muslim Student and Pro-Palestine Organizations
- Union juive française pour la paix (UJFP)
- Urgence Palestine
Here are the troops in America tired to funding and organizing the protests:
- BreakThrough News (New York based; Neville Roy Singham network)
- Indian Alliance Paris (Neville Roy Singham network and People’s Forum ties)
It’s one global network of liberal organizations partnering with Muslims to bring down the West

WE AUDITED ALL 58 FOREIGN-BORN FEDERAL JUDGES SITTING ON AMERICA'S BENCH FOR LIFE.
I spent over a billion tokens and about 45 days on this deep dive.
Through this deep dive and the over a million court cases we have combed through, we have launched an American First Index (AFI) for the site. (More on it as we improve the metrics and refine deeper.)
Out of 58 sitting foreign-born Article III judges, 43 were appointed by Biden or Obama. Among those drawn from ACLU and public defender pipelines, border enforcement is blocked over 80% of the time and 60% of criminal sentences fall below federal guidelines.
We have added an interactive tool on bench receipts that allows you to drill down and look at how each of these judges behave on the bench.
This is just the start. The federal judges are easier to identify than the state level judges. I assume there are 100s if not 1000+ foreign born or first-gen American on our benches.
They do not judge on our laws, they judge on the culture they came from. This is a huge reason our country has lost its identity.

This is an excellent book on Direct Instruction. It details the logical analysis of communications and the empirical analysis of student learning.
In short, the materials your district purchased have flawed methods for how content is designed and communicated.

Here’s my idea to start to figure out our Special Education crisis. First, let’s make two completely different categories of disability, one being academically focused, the other being behavioral/mental health focus.
Of course there’s some overlap but that we identify and place both under the EXACT same processes makes zero sense anymore. We need a separate process and separate staffing to handle each.
We need new legislation that addresses the difference because currently a child with a reading disability has the same exact path and rights as the child who destroys a class and hits students as a disability. Both students should have completely different programs, placements, and rights.
By placing EVERY identified disability under the same umbrellas we’ve really messed things up. By specializing the policy and procedures to differentiate between cognitive and behavioral we can address each differently.
Will this ever happen? Not likely, but it’s a concrete idea. I’m open for others.

"Sold a Story" made @ehanford a hero to teachers by exposing how they'd been misled about reading. Season 2 will be a harder sell: it challenges the profession's deepest convictions about what good teaching is.
My review of the first four episodes:

Un profesor le dió un globo🎈a cada alumno que tuvo que inflarlo, escribir su nombre en él y tirarlo al pasillo. El profesor entonces mezcló todos los globos y dio a los estudiantes 5 minutos para que cada uno encontrara su propio globo. Tras la acelerada búsqueda, nadie encontró su globo. En ese momento, el profesor les dijo a los estudiantes que tomaran el primer globo que encontraran y se lo entregaran a la persona cuyo nombre estaba escrito en él. En 5 minutos cada uno tenía su propio globo. El profesor dijo a los estudiantes: - Estos globos son como la felicidad. Nunca la encontraremos si todo el mundo está buscando la suya, pero si nos preocupamos por la felicidad de los demás también encontraremos la nuestra.

Yes because educators aren’t taught execution at scale like corporations do thru goal>strat>tactics>programs>projects>tasks;a tree structure flowing down with reporting up. They name wishes, tell out, empower, and go. An org chart role IS execution to educators. No logistics.

What if the teaching profession's hostility to scripted instruction has come at an enormous cost to children, particularly those who need it the most? Season 2 of "Sold a Story" from @ehanford asks questions we'd prefer to avoid. My review:

@ScarboroughNow please, please stop making sweeping assumptions about tech in the classroom. “Rip it out” is a knee jerk reaction. Let’s focus on models of intentional use of tech as a tool. Tech is not the problem. Misuse of tech, like all things, leads to such debates.

Stephen King famously likened the exhaustion of teaching to having "jumper cables clamped to [his] brain" by the end of the week.
I, too, have issues with overstimulation and fatigue.
What are your go-to tactics for managing burnout and calming your mind?

Many professional development sessions I attend promote the same idea:
Teach grade-level texts to maintain rigor, and differentiate instruction for students who are below grade level.
But there's one problem these PDs conveniently leave out:
How do you manage a classroom where half the students are significantly below grade level while you're trying to teach a grade-level text?
Have you ever seen what happens when a classroom full of middle schoolers loses interest in a lesson?
Mayhem, bruh.

Education needs an overhaul.
It is not working for many students.
It is not funding, but the one size fits all that is the problem.

I don’t know about y’all, but I’m sick of subsidizing the whole world’s problems while Americans go without.
We are being overtaxed.
