This is a good and important thread. I have been around a LOT of veterans who know these fascist fucks are evil. I meet them every goddamn weekend when Iām doing immigrant outreach. Have the humility to know what you donāt know.

Calling your reps and senators can feel really nerve racking at first. We actually did an episode about this on How to Save a planet which I cannot fucking find but an easy solution is to do it with a friend. The more you do it the less stressful it gets.

I am going to do some weeding today because I need to get out of my head and away from the news so that I can keep doing the work to support my immigrant friends and neighbors and my neurodivergent and trans students. Even having coffee on the sofa feels like a sin today

We genuinely need a revival of virtue in the United States. In my view, thatās almost as critical a project as any other structural reform project necessary in the wake of trumpism. We should become a society that actually values human life such that we would feel shame about this.

This is one of the big reasons why I teach where I do (private high school). I would never be able to work someplace that expected me to follow a scripted curriculum.

Today I took a swig from the water bottle that lives on my desk, which is in a shed that also contains the washer and dryer, and there was something⦠solid in the water. It felt kinda fuzzy. I kept teaching until I had a chance to subtly remove it. It was a spider.

This is very good reporting that sheds light on just how small the extremely pro-Trump online right really is. The online right is totally astroturfed. The White House's own staffers are running meme accounts to make them look more popular than they are.

One would think that this would merit an emergency convening of all Blue state governors, Attorneys generals and Congressional representatives. It's a declaration of war on one state which means they'll do it to others too.

Just a reminder that every high-profile shooting by an ICE/CBP agent this past year was done by a long-time veteran who went through more extensive training, with many refresher courses over the years, and at least a couple were instructors themselves.

Been trying to think about what to say about Jesse Jackson passing all day. I remember the Rainbow Coalition: what a breath of fresh air his campaign was in the awful Reagan years. We all knew there was no way but he did it anyway. RIP to a man who was sorely and sadly undervalued, to our sorrow.
