OK "god bless america" and then naming every country in the americas from south to north is absolute king shit

Tried to watch Bridgerton for some down time but episode 3 ended up being about labor rights of maids and rich people treating them poorly while trying to claim they were “family.” 🤣😒 I can’t escape!

A great action you can take TODAY to support workers.

Today I saw ICE gas little white kids in the streets of Portland with chemical weapons. Imagine what they're doing to brown and black kids in the detention camps

Postponed from last week - state violence is escalating; we can meet this moment and stand in solidarity with targeted communities. We CAN prepare together for rapid mass mobilization and community care. Join us today (1/31) at 2 PM at the Haven!

So much collective action. People power is beautiful. 👊🏼

4 Black journalists have been kidnapped by the federal government

We just walked a big Fiveville loop… 5th st, w main, cherry all are good this afternoon in the sun. Will not be tomorrow am. Side roads are still spicy and sidewalks are nonexistent.

People are right to be incensed, but there are more names to uplift. ICE killed an immigrant man named Silverio Villegas González in Chicagoland. He had children. Victor Manuel Diaz was kidnapped in Minneapolis and died in ICE custody on January 14. Their names deserve to be repeated, too.

The Supreme Court forced schools to educate Black children. Education has always been political.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives. We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

5th street. Roads are doing well in the ☀️ but there is two feet of plowed snow on top of these sidewalks. Lots of students have to walk here to bus stops.

Just saw a guy ice skating down Cherry Ave 😂

Exercising our constitutional right to document and record ICE and other federal agents is more important than ever. This call will give you the tools to exercise your rights in a moment when federal agents are terrorizing our communities and using excessive force: www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

A nurse. A researcher. A helper.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

@tressiemcphd.bsky.social with the wisdom. Volunteer work has been grounding amidst the onslaught. Helping patients safely access care at Planned Parenthood, helping an Afghan refugee become a citizen, helping seniors stay independent, are small acts of resistance and community.

I would argue that the case for dismantling ICE has, at this point, virtually nothing to do with larger questions of immigration enforcement and reform, it's just clearly incompatible with a free and democratic society to maintain a secret police force with sweeping and arbitrary authority.

It’s always about the retribution

Every kid who has immigrant parents and is terrified for them right now owns my heart. I was you, little one. But in better times. I promise you that many of us will put our lives on the line for you. Don’t give up.

ICE took someone in Waite Park today while they were delivering food to their family. ICE violently smashed their car on a residential street and then started pointing guns at children in the neighborhood.

It's cool that these guys just use pepper spray casually now, against people who are wholly within their rights, without a moment's hesitation. Several shots of them using it as they climb into their cars and drive away, not even a pretense of urgency or need. Just a parting "fuck you" to them.

Smash your Ring (or whatever doorcam you have)

ICE abducted a man in minneapolis on january 6. by january 14, he was dead in a concentration camp in texas. victor manuel diaz was 36 years old. they say he did it to himself. ICE murdered him.

“Renée Good is one of at least nine people across the country who have been shot by immigration agents since September. There is something every case has in common: Everyone was in a vehicle at the time of the shooting.”

I'm just going to point out that ICE is about 23 years old. It was formed as part of the response to 9/11 and was reactionary, performative, and racist from the start. Its not eternal. This is not a thousand-year Reich.

This a.m. a coworker saw a police post about a search warrant being carried out in our neighborhood with city and state cops. Buses for schools were about to load. We have hundreds of kids in our neighborhood. …

In 249 years, this country has yet to outlaw slavery. We change its form, we change its name, but slavery has been constant. Powerful people and businesses just really love slave labor, and a chunk of our economy is built on that.

Made this tonight (but in the instant pot) and it is REALLY good. jamjarkitchen.com/2021/02/01/w...

Merry Christmas to meeeeee! @alixeharrow.bsky.social

There isn't a single problem "solved" by edtech that couldn't be fixed with smaller classes led by well-paid teachers given real academic freedom

On my walk to the hospital, in Fifeville primary roads look pretty good and secondary roads look pretty bad. And sidewalks are fairly slippery, even ones that have been cleared.

"The immigrants, who were already approved to be naturalized, were pulled from line due to their countries of origin."

If you’re looking for a story of powerful elites using state power to steal land, wreak havoc on the climate, and use narratives marginalizing out groups to reinforce their grip power only to be thrown out by a band of the common folk that make society great…you’re going to love Zootopia 2.

It was day 67 of the school year so buy every teacher you know a drink.

👇🏼 too bad CCS school board ignored all this evidence.

Took our K students to the central library today and their excitement over books and the beauty of the space was so lovely! Free field trips rock but if you’d like to sponsor a future trip for our babies… let me know ❤️

At UVA, we owe a lot to our own union @ucwva.bsky.social and @aaup.org who have helped organize and galvanize opposition to state and federal threats to academic freedom like the Compact

Hey Cville peeps: Starbucks union workers are ON STRIKE. Please go somewhere here else: we have LOTS of good locally owned coffee shops! Atlas Coffee, Grit, Cville Coffee, and JBird come to mind (not exhaustive, don’t @ me, but DO make other suggestions!).

Truly love that small town life means I can go on a run to the library to turn in my students’ library card applications so they will get cards on our field trip next week 📚 ❤️

I had the privilege of teaching @zysaidso.bsky.social in 3rd grade social studies. What a full circle moment to cast my vote and watch her win ❤️

good morning charlottesville!! what a lovely day to not vote for a school board candidate who promised to keep police out of schools and then voted in favor of it anyway, without robust data or engagement with the public!!

There is nothing funnier than watching my coworkers teach reading and math in full costumes. I love elementary school!
