I have also gone down this road mentally. If we think Jan 6 was bad, now that they are in power it will be much worse and widespread. I hope not. But it seems inevitable.

My take from the Smith hearings: To be a GOP senator today, you have to be a lying piece-of-shit, who puts loyalty to party & our lying piece-of-shit president, above their oaths to the Constitution & their obligations to tell the truth & do what rights to the American people! Repost if U agree

Of all the cruelty and ugliness of this administration, this one hits home for me personally. For my trans child, my gay child, and my gay self, school was hell. But we don’t matter.

I had a vivid dream last night. Dolly arrived at the pearly gates and was met by Fred Rogers. He opened the gates and there was Carl and all the folks from the holler waiting with open arms. Dolly is home.

We're being told that if we sacrifice the rights of some people, then the rest of us get to keep our rights. We all know that's some BS.

You know you’re old when you can name every of those artists. Nowadays they would all sing their parts in remote locations and be spliced together. So much of the power of this moment is that they were all physically there. Present in the moment.

Lost my keys once a few years ago on a forest trail. Walked that trail back and forth for hours and couldn’t find them. Got back to my car to meet my spouse who I had called to bring the other set of keys. A couple was waiting there for whoever showed up looking for their keys. Good people rock.

When I had cancer and had to take FMLA leave, my dr’s office had a pile of paperwork to fill out that was approved by the HR office. Someone was hired to ensure legal/financial stuff was covered. If I had just posted pics of me w/my wife as proof I was ill for months, my ass would have been fired.

Marco Rubio is against birthright citizenship. But Marco Rubio *is* a birthright citizen. Ted Cruz is against birthright citizenship. But Ted Cruz was born in Canada. He only got US citizenship by a birthright citizenship law because of his US mother. They are both shameless hypocrites.

Imagine if a woman president crashed the economy and started a war with no end in sight, and her biggest, seemingly ONLY concern was building a ballroom and redecorating the White House.

Not seeing a connection to test scores. Seems to me this is a moral issue, possibly criminal. How about if we blame their parents who one would expect to teach moral values?

There is no national education system. Your experiences are based on state systems and often specific to local districts. In some places it’s better or worse. But there is not a national education system. Period.
