‘Tears My Heart to Pieces’: North Carolina Braces for Medicaid Cuts www.nytimes.com/2025/07/06/u... Yes - elections have consequences but I never thought the death of Americans was in the mix.

And we are going to war…

How is this even a thing in our country. Espouse freedom and then limit ours - it’s inconceivable (yes I know what that word means). Who in power is going to stand up for us? Who in power is going to say enough is enough? I will not cower - l will be part of the protests nationally on Saturday!

Thanks for the opportunity to do this podcast. I’ve loved my two superintendent positions over the past 14 years and if my experiences can support and inform others that is awesome!

Dr. Peter Noonan joins @fearlessschools.bsky.social to talk thriving—not just surviving—in the superintendency. Purpose, trust, and joy in leadership. A must-listen.

Hey @chrislhayes.bsky.social - Did we just witness the greatest insider trading scam in American history in front of our eyes? I

Does this make truth social complicit in insider trading?

And he thinks others manipulate markets? How many new billionaires because he said buy before pausing tariffs?

Everybody say it with me - Munchausen by Proxy - make us all sick and then stop to make us “better” and look like a “hero.” This is a sick way to lead a country. @chrislhayes.bsky.social

Idiocracy exacts a heavy price.

Why isn’t anyone doing anything?? We need our people in power to save our democracy and our economy. How can this ill conceived and cruel experiment with our lives continue? Where are the republicans (rhetorical) - perhaps their wallets will reign since their hearts are cold.

Today's specials at the shit sandwich cafe: - Trump to dismantle the Department of Education - 240,000 Ukrainians to have their legal status revoked; subject to deportation - 70,000 job cuts planned at the VA - GDP receding. Prices on the rise. Markets in free fall. Trumpcession is inevitable.

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

Hey @uber - one of your drivers kicked out one of my employees of 395 outside of DC today and told her to go back to her country. She is from Peru and is an American! Your sick driver not only is a terrible racist but he also put her life in jeopardy. Do a better job screening your drivers.

Worried for our most vulnerable students for so many reasons. The freeze of federal funds that come from the USDA may interrupt our programs for students on free and reduced lunch. I don’t understand the play here - starve those families that have the least? They count on us for food assistance!

Just for clarity - if you desire to become a teacher in our division or Virginia we have a high bar…you can’t be a felon. We don’t trust our youth to those that are convicted. Just sayin…

Oh would ya look at that 😌
