Old life meets new life 🥰

Put my boat on the roof rack solo for the first time since pregnancy. Becoming mom to sweet W changed me in many ways. I’m so grateful for it all. AND there are these small moments when I find my “old” self again & it feels like a new kind of reconnection 🥰💛

I work with some of the most incredible colleagues in the nation who teach their hearts out for students daily… and this is the state of our schools. We all deserve so so much better 💔

I think we made the right call by postponing our camping trip by a day 😬

Inspired by our awesome librarian, I kept more visible track of my reading this school year:

Never would I have imagined that I’d be teaching an early US history course AND wow what an incredible year of learning! I’m forever thankful for @zinnedproject.bsky.social - their resources have created such a beautiful backbone for our study. This text is up next for me as I look ahead:

Our 2026 Robin’s Nest Observation Log had an unfortunate ending today. Sweet W and I found it on the ground with a hole… we talked about predator/prey relationships. The robin is back. Sitting on her empty branch. I wonder if she’ll start again 💛

In the background, there is a window that displays a clear line to a crab, apple tree, in the foreground there is an observation log that list dates and observations. It includes the first date of April 25 when the Robin was building, from there there are many days of sitting, and on May 13 it says nest down.

Today we’ve been talking about our sweet bunny at home, “this is Johana and we’re working to keep her safe” In the coming weeks, I’ll continue to explore how to talk about safety with Sweet W (2.5 years old). 💔

The ICE agent who put hands on me is responsible for the crash in front of our school. Also, whhhhhy are our tax dollars going to stake out a mama and her sister and children who have an active (legal) asylum case?! He just happened to run random plates?! www.sevendaysvt.com/news/south-b...

Ice agent Colton Riley was stalking at the Dorset Street home around 7:30 AM when he saw two men climb into a Toyota Camry according to an affidavit he wrote Riley ran the plates and found it was registered to deadeye Danielle Corona Sanchez a 24-year-old Mexican man who is facing a pending driving under the influence charge from January and he was accused of illegally entering the US after previously being deported

When I got home, I gave sweet W the same bunny. Part of my own metabolizing of yesterday meant building connection & retuning to the home with love. In my dreams, these two bunnies connect two beautiful souls. Two young kids who both deserve freedom 💛

With town meeting day right around the corner, I hope my VT friends remember the importance of local elections (and of passing public school budgets!)

I find it very difficult to enthused over the current news. Just when you think that, at least the Outlook is so black that it can grow no blacker, it worsens, and that is why I do not like the news, because there has never been an era when so many things were going so right for so many of the wrong persons.

Okay… so this is beautiful 💛 Elders in Vermont taking action:

On Thursday, January 22 at approximately 1 PM, a group of about a dozen Vermont community elders with whistles entered the atrium of White cap office Park in Williston Vermont. Home of ice is national criminal analysis and targeting center. They refuse to leave when ordered by Williston police, the property manager, and federal agents, demanding instead that the landlord renegotiate and cancel the facilities lease. For the next 3.5 hours, they sat together in silence, pausing every 90 seconds to read the name of someone killed by ice, followed by a loud whistle blast. Williston police arrived at around 1:30 PM and ask protesters to leave and start making noise. A group of five elders refused and remained in the atrium, accompanied by a medic and physical therapist. property, manager, and landlord supporters gathered outside that he would have them arrested. Around 315, the Willis estate police announced that they had determined that the protesters were not breaking any laws.

After the Williston police left, several DHS agents approached the group and threatened to charge them with classy federal misdemeanors, but did not actually do so, likely because they locked authority to do so. The agents attempted to physically remove the elders and carry them away from the doors, but the group continued to exercise their right. Eventually, the agents left. The group continued their protest with banners and singing, until the sun began setting in the office park left the office park of their own accord karen, 83 Bethel, said “ I’m taking action to bring attention to our state role in this horrific situation”

The office of white cap is one of many eyes related facilities in Cheney County, which serves the national nerve center for ice operations. The notorious law-enforcement supply center on harvest Lane is home to Isaac‘s nationwide Tip Line but at least 10 other nearby locations totaling an estimated 400,000 ft.² of office space are used by DHS for data processing surveillance administrative work. On Tuesday, the Williston select board pass a resolution condemning ice activities in the town and several hundred protesters marched in the fridge temperature to announce the ice call center on harvest Lane. The elders risk risking arrest and Thursday sit in we’re not representatives of any official group or organization, but simply community members concerned about the safety of their neighbors. They expressed hope that their action would help others to find the courage necessary to get ice out of Williston.

I realize our heads are spinning with all of the horrific actions happening (which… is likely be design). If you have room in your heart for one more story, our students’ family could use support 💔 The way ICE is just decimating communities 💔
