The National Guardners
Many people adamantly believe there are litter boxes in high school bathrooms, and I just don’t understand how we got here.

The National Guardners
I believed it before I saw it was from The Onion, and that’s not because I am prone to gullibility. Just sayin
Being ok with just a few constitutional violations is sort of like being ok with a little bit of shite in your brownies. You can’t tolerate any of it. The line must be strictly drawn at zero.
Because making a baby always means that baby will always believe exactly what their parents believe. Charlie, you’re a smart one 🤣
That’s fine that he doesn’t blame himself. We all blame him. That’s what matters.
In Pennsylvania, if you order cheese grits at a Cracker Barrel, you get not-good grits with cold bagged shredded cheese on top And the old dude in the logo is creepy And it is super weird that all these people are upset about that logo It’s Cracker Barrel Get a damn hold of yourselves
A succinct way to describe a man I left: He thought Charlie Kirk “made some good points.” He talked a lot about being an alpha male. He also held onto the hurt of being passed over for the accelerated classes back in middle school. He thought Ben Shapiro was a righteous dude.
No no, it’s not that Clinton had sex. It’s that he LIED about it. But Trump always tells the tru—- Ugh. I can’t even joke.
He’s the smell you can’t quite locate and eliminate.
I always thought museums were about chronicling reality. He sees them as propaganda machines. What a tool.
I am imagining this like a scene that will be reenacted in films and stage plays long into the future. I want it to be a tide-turner. Considering how everything always seems about to blow and then it’s always just crickets, I’m containing my hope.
As one who just successfully completed this transition myself, I say hell yes we do NOT care.
🚨 State Representative Ann Johnson from Houston, TX, is speaking some truth to power. Her message carries weight; it carries values, American values. ✊🏼
“Republican extremism” is a great term for it. As non-political Republicans feel the consequences and finally wake up, “republican extremism” gives them an option to turn against MAGA and pretend it was just this wild extremist faction that was to blame.
It’s infused into tools we all use. Make America Dumb Again. Easier to control that way.
They look like some moronic and deeply misguided reenactment of storming the beaches on DDay.
According to the woman who married my ex (who is a teacher himself), the problem with teachers is that they don’t make anything. They don’t create a product one can sell. They’re weak because they don’t generate wealth.
Typical Boomer condescension…
Why can’t Psaki do more of this? Start every show with a victim sharing their ordeal. Make it must-see tv and screw Congress for refusing to uphold their oath.
Man Caves scream “I’m insecure about my masculinity”
Everyone talks about liminal spaces these days. Liminal spaces are kind of my daily reality. Have been for quite some time. Anyone else?
This is the kid who wrote disturbing essays in English class. The teacher was concerned, but the guidance counselor said, “Nah, he’s just weird.” And here we are.
Virginia Foxx is nasty. Her campaign is hate. Her pastime is cruelty.
Shouldn’t Virginia Foxx be sitting by a picture window watching the neighbors and getting pissed off about whatever they’re doing? You know the type.
All these buffos strutting around in camo and masks…it’s like some dude video game came to life in America. In the worst way.
A very weird Nevadan?
I’m semper paratus for karma to catch up to this one. Also, are we absolutely sure she isn’t a Cylon?
"Democrats don't want the Epstein files released because it would compromise Bill Clinton." Yeah, no, I don't care who's in the files. If Bill Clinton is implicated, I want him held accountable. I'm not part of a cult. I don't give a shit if they're a Democrat.
Ugh. First husband talked about this regularly, selling it to me with such conviction.
Thanks for giving me a new quote for the wall of my English classroom. Love it.
That’s how to handle it. Call it what it is and move on. No one’s going to change this fool’s mind.
But I thought he said money was already pouring in from tariffs
Back when I was an Antiochian Orthodox Christian, the priest’s wife ridiculed me at a party for voting for Obama. Lots-o-that-later, much of it from the pulpit, here I am. No longer even Christian
I’m not especially follow-worthy, but if you want to follow me, I’ll try to provide decently useful content.
If you’re anything other than straight, white, faux christian, wealthy, male, and English speaking, he has no interest in your wellbeing
I’m guessing your 7 year old granddaughter outshines Trump on every metric.
And I really do appreciate your spirit here. I know you’re a good one doing a good thing. I just hate that we accepted this as the way forward. We have to fight for funding. This current reality works out super well for those who want to kill public education. Let’s stop accommodating them!
For 27 years, I’ve watched funding goes down and teachers fill the void. We didn’t solve the problem itself. We normalized a bad solution. Teachers need to draw a firm line. We already have a teacher shortage, and now young teachers are expected to fund raise, too? It’s nonsense and unsustainable.
I’d honestly rather spend my time lobbying lawmakers to properly fund education. I am a teacher myself, and while I love the spirit of all this, it’s morally wrong to expect educators to fund or find funding for basic supplies. Let’s teach without supplies and let the world see how that goes.
No! Teachers should not have to post Amazon wishlists for supplies!!! Can’t remember the last time I saw anyone from the corporate world asking for post-it note donations. How about we just properly fund education???
I have a career with benefits, but when a family member needed intense and lengthy treatment, Medicaid meant I didn’t go bankrupt. Just one hospitalization was $24,000, and there were many of those. Just in case anyone thinks Medicaid is a handout for lazy people. I kept working. We survived.
💯
Well, as Lizzo says…
Dwight D. Eisenhower chuckles and rolls his eyes…
I see her ending like Sharon Stone in Casino.
Did your employer plan ahead and pay you early? Or did they at least alert you that pay may be delayed?
Cozy scene! Preparing for a heat wave in Pennsylvania 🥵
Another brain that thinks such thoughts…hi!
Slandering the trans community with his lies. He’s truly foul.
Celebrating the memory of my father by listening to music he introduced to me, music that I adore. I miss him. He was such a good human.
Poster board companies will post record profits this month.
Heading out! #nokings
I do not believe there are Americans anywhere who are so frightened they want to live under military control.
He left out, “if you beat a cop with a flagpole, you’re going to get a pardon.“
He went to private schools, so exactly how is public education to blame here? When American public education is funded and supported, it is the greatest engine for democracy and economic growth.
It’s not that simple. They can’t just say, “nah” and walk away.
Accurate
Dinner a few nights ago was birria done in the instant pot, otherwise traditional. Today, I used the remaining beef and broth, and served it over bean threads with Oaxaca cheese and cilantro. Holy hell yes
I wonder how many Trump fans bought one of those silly Tesla trucks out of sheer allegiance to TACO. And I wonder what they’re gonna do now.
Next time she gives a “sincere” apology, remember how capably she delivered this fake one. She’s a great actor! Lousy human, but great actor.
As an English teacher, I am increasingly seeing the need to change what and how we teach. My hopeful self wants to believe we will see a massive revival of interest in what makes us human. We read to discover and understand ourselves and others.
We’re toast
What’s he gonna do? Throw paper towels at them?
Food magically appears for everyone now. It’s all he knows in his own world, and the man has no imagination.
Intimidation and Big Talk are not leadership. He just motivated every single person who intends to fight back against authoritarian bullshit. He’s like the teacher who says “Respect me or else.” That teacher is a joke.
Relax!! He didn’t say girls should have “fewer dolls.” He actually said girls should have “fewer dollars,” so before you get all— Oh
Trump wanted to be president to pardon his own crimes. Now he wants to be Pope to pardon his own sins.
bye, liar
Has anyone asked Moses to help?
Tragic lack of foresight, and any questions just get brushed off. It’s about to get real for a lot of people who didn’t think any of this through
If there is an election, it will have a pre-determined outcome. Eventually, though, he will die, and I don’t see any cult of personality big enough to hold onto it all.
He misses the point: as he is doing his job, he needs to follow the law. He doesn’t get to unilaterally decide a man’s fate without providing due process.
Burn! 🤣
I saw Falsettoland on Broadway with my boyfriend in 1992. To this day, it is a favorite. “What Would I Do” is among the finest love songs of all time. Rest Peacefully and thank you for the music 💜
More like an Undead body
No way he spawned from a human
There they go again, peeing on my shoes while telling me it’s raining.
The word “groceries” is neither beautiful nor very descriptive. And it’s not old-fashioned. He just hasn’t bought any in so long, he thinks shopping is now a quaint part of the olden days.
Signing also. The scary thing is we are only ever one election away from no longer being allowed to teach what we currently teach (democratic ideals, decency, truthfulness, curiosity, you know…really crazy stuff)
Disrespectful to the “remaining two Beastie Boys.” Don’t put them in a category with Kid Rock - yikes 🤣
youtu.be/Bb3HNTnE_CQ?...
If you give Trump enough power, there won’t be any elections to vote out weak Democrats. Chew on that, Schumer.
Who bought you, John?
Look! Donald has an eye, nose, and mouth just like every other human being. You can put his up against other faces, and you find out… Nothing. It means nothing. Christ, what an idiot.
Makes me realize that many men in their 40s-60s grew up on a diet of “women are pretty and dumb and meant to be conquered, and the ugly ones are fodder for humiliation.” Guys like Kavanaugh thought this was the goal.
I celebrated Women’s Day by watching Club Paradise, a silly movie from the 80s that reminded me again and again how far women have come, and how far we have to go. It was so UN-self-aware of its own misogyny.
Just let me know when to break out the extra buttery popcorn!
“Let the market decide.” *market decides* “Woke mob - waaaaaa - not fair - waaaaaa - the liberal left is so touchy - waaaaaa”
I think parents who choose to allow their children to suffer through preventable illnesses should be reviled. Remember when America held bad people in low esteem?
I’m so tired of this stupid “Kubrick stare” image of this turd.
Is your title an allusion to “Letters from an American Farmer?” I used to teach de Crèvecœur. Just curious.
Well, the first part of the prophecy would be pretty magical, no?
I suspect she will just continue on being a callous monster with a terrible case of RBF?
None of them flinched when the WWE mom, who participated in a staged slap fight with her daughter, became the head of the Department of Education, so I’d say you’re right.
Impressive recovery time, honestly
This quote has been banging around my head ever since he came down the escalator.
So helpful. So relevant.
I am a public educator, so you know what I make. Last week, I kept my students safe, stoked their curiosity, challenged their assumptions, guided their writing, and modeled decency for them. Now I want 5 accomplishments from the guy making 4 million per hour. Justify that nonsense.
All dominion, whatever all dominion is
