How many more people need to be murdered in the street? How many more children ripped away from their parents? As a mother and just as a human being, I feel so sick all the time. This needs to stop. ABOLISH ICE.

It is normal to feel scared in times like this, but if you are able to do so, get into community with people. Other people help you keep in touch with hope, help you understand that you can and will make a difference.

You have to go through Congress for anything resembling this type of war. Round up Massie and Paul types and have him removed. The people in this administration are on actual drugs and have insatiable bloodlust and bespoke mental illnesses. He has to go, and everybody with him.

4. All the evidence that is not anecdotal here, all the research, supports teacher burnout from too much tech and too many demands, but it keeps coming back to more training. It does provide a voice asking for fewer demands and less tech.
