Elon Musk should be mentioned in the same breath as Leopold and Hitler and any other mass-murdering human monster; he should be equated in the public mind with "genocidal racist mass murderer" and little else. And he should be brought to justice for those crimes.

So sad to see this. My 15 y-o son’s Global Studies teacher assigned Persepolis this year just as Trump started the attack on Iran. My son loved the read, and also appreciated his teacher’s courage and willingness to dig into the issues in These Times. So glad for her work. RIP.

Not been here much, I follow too many news and politics folks and in These Times I can only take so much in. But my girl is home from Uni for break, and the fam insisted on braving very cold and snowy weather to hunt our tree. Definitely took me back to my childhood winters in IL. So pretty. ❄️🌲💗

Trump spoke about arming teachers today, claiming that it’s “something that a lot of people like." This is not what teachers sign up for—they are trained to teach, not to be the first line of defense against a shooter. Forcing more guns into schools does not make us safer. etwn.us/3IxMC2M
