“Communism is only good in theory” - person who never read the theory

ICE is kidnapping people! The government is disappearing people! People who study fascism are fleeing the country! This is fascism and will not be defeated by Democratic Party. You can’t be tolerant of fascism. You fight fascism by any means necessary.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

Socialism works everywhere it has been tried and works amazingly until the US works to destroy it. Saying it “fails” is like saying someone fails to walk after you shoot them in the spine.

I love democracy. Democracy replacing dictatorships/monarchy in the government was human evolution. Now we need to replace dictatorships in our workplaces with democracy for our next phase of human evolution

Me: this book is only 100 pages?! I’ll knock that out real quick. My students: 5 pages?! I’m not reading all that 🤣

🎶 these are a few of my favorite things 🎶

All students have a right to enroll in public schools and educators have a duty to keep them safe… … even from the Dept of Homeland Security

I’ve been teaching that THIS is the Americas for years (making everyone in it Americans) so I don’t think Trump’s nonsense is really the own he thinks it is

Happening in Aurora, CO this morning. Protect each other BAMN

I cancelled presentations tomorrow in preparation for the one day general strike (A Day without an Immigrant). In solidarity ✊🏼

One Main Street wonders why one Main Street would do such a thing

I’ll be going on CNN Friday to discuss how Trump’s “Operation Aurora” is impacting our diverse community.

Any person who has the power to allow someone into a school can demand a warrant from ICE. Keep them out of our schools

What’s the charge if ICE shows up to a school and a teacher *cough* umm… prevents [physically] the abduction of a student? Asking for a friend

If you don’t know your neighbors, now is a good time to introduce yourself. It’s the best way to protect each other for what soon may come

I tend to assume “spin” so I had to watch it myself… THAT WAS 100% A NAZI SALUTE!

And as inseparable. Before one says, "but I benefit from capitalism," consider how the other two also provide benefits, usually to the same people.

“The evils of capitalism are as real as the evils of militarism and evils of racism.” — Speech at the SCLC, 1967

Day 2 of no internet and no way to take attendance (IC is down) in a district that has moved everything to online

Beginning hour four of no Internet in a district that requires us to put everything online 😅

Climate change is class war. Imperialism is class war. Prison industrial complex is class war. Patriarchy is class war. White supremacy is class war. School vouchers are class war. Private healthcare is class war. Commodified housing is class war. Maybe the working class should fight back 🤷🏻‍♂️

Congratulations to Colorado’s newest state senator and Colorado’s first Muslim and Palestinian elected to the Senate, @imanforcolorado.bsky.social

If you didn’t know, “Caucasian” is a word created to place white people at the top of the racial hierarchy. You should remove it from your vocabulary and replace it with “white”

“Where’d you learn that?” Is my new go-to when people make wild claims

Pancake loves the lights! We were able to sneak them in tonight before it closed

Only 13 million of them are bots

Every book I read in December. Lmk if you want my thoughts on anything 1/4

4th week of December is complete and I finished two more books. What are you reading?

Although I will argue forevermore that no President was good, Jimmy Carter was likely one of the least bad and, (possibly) more importantly, spent a lifetime after his presidency committing to doing good. Leaves very big shoes to fill.

The postal service doesn’t “cost” money, it saves money. It costs everyone less BECAUSE it isn’t private

Sometime soon we’re going to hear people say “Squid Game went WOKE” having transgender representation, ignoring the fact that the entire show is a condemnation of capitalism

People who hate socialism hate gentle-parenting for the same reasons: they don’t actually know what it is, they have internalized trauma from the status quo, and they lack imagination for a better world

A Festivus for the rest of us!

3rd week of December’s completed reading list. What should I read next?

In the US, we don’t condone murder of people over political differences Right?!

Happy solstice

A lil matinee

"Voucher systems have been a “catastrophic failure,” and the weight of evidence shows that this is not the sort of program that the federal government ought to be throwing $5 billion toward." progressive.org/public-schoo...

Amazon couldn’t exist without the US postal service

The choice isn’t for who you think it’s for

Based on recent news, I cannot recommend this book enough. When you challenge capital, they label you a terrorist
