I for one think it’s bad that the president can just say crazy stuff all day every day and 99% of it doesn’t make the news because we’ve normalized having an insane president

The Constitution is a promise that has never once kept itself. Though it waits, every generation, to find out whether the people living under it will.
It’s our turn to answer. And I refuse to believe we’re going to be the generation that went quiet. (Link below)

Monday morning in academia: teaching future educators to build humane, inclusive systems while watching policymakers defund public education, criminalize difference, and rename structural abandonment “accountability.”
Anyway, my annual compliance training says I should practice self-care.

On this I cannot disagree. Mainstream media and legacy media have been bought and paid for and are willing turning a blind eye to an obvious coverup. No one is willing to go to the hospital and find out the truth? Shameful.

Walking across campus, I overheard two students describing a professor: “really hard” and “locks the door once class starts.”
Rigor is not the same as rigidity. If locking students out is part of your pedagogy, do better.

America has gotten to that last part of Monopoly where the game is effectively over and we're all just watching the Elites suck up all the money, nobody else is allowed to really keep playing the game & we're all getting more pissed by the minute.
Flip the damn board over already.

Yes. Men. Men are the problem.
The richest man owns X.
The second and fourth richest men control Google.
The third richest man owns The Washington Post.
The fifth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

"Why don't Americans-" The ruling class of America has intentionally disempowered its citizens spread across 3,000+ miles of land and then funded the police force as an occupying army that happily murders anyone who opposes them and imprisons whoever is left as slave laborers. So phone calls it is

Early childhood policy doesn’t end at pre-K.
When the state detains children, it teaches a lesson about whose childhoods are protected and whose are disposable.
That is a values problem, not a logistics problem.
