Seriously. 😐
Teacher, mother, firefighter wife. My dogs follow me everywhere. Scatter kindness and listen to Pearl Jam. Nerds are cool. Read books. M. Ed. Opinions my own.

Seriously. 😐
If you’re enjoying a long Labor Day weekend, thank organized labor and consider that the GOP is neutering OSHA, putting kids to work, and rolling back paid sick leave as part of its multi-pronged, systematic attack on working people and the poor.
And voucher money. Don’t forget that.
I just saw an article that said a CEO that stole a hat from a kid at a tennis event was the most hated man in America. I feel like that's forgeting someone.
Not surprising at all.
The only gun that should be in a classroom is a glue gun.
FEMA is giving $110 million to faith-based organizations and schools for safety upgrades. Public schools get thoughts and prayers.

You had me at beginned 😂

Hey, let’s give all the nonexistent teachers who want to relocate to Oklahoma all the questions before they take the test!
There, it’s spelled bibble.
I love how they posted all the questions like it’s some flex.
The National Guardners
Oh my guard, this is amazing
PragerU spelled certify wrong on the Oklahoma certificate of completion, because of course they did.
CEOs are trying to convince you that quiet quitting is worse than wage theft, while they plan on replacing you with a robot. Unions know better. Happy Labor Day Weekend.
Truth times infinity
If you’re in favor of shutting down museum exhibitions or banning books because they make you feel bad, that’s a pretty good tip that you deserve to feel bad.
NEW: Many of the unaccompanied minors who Trump is trying to traffic to Guatemala today are in foster care - some of which seem to be Christian facilities. These 10 represent a putative class of nearly 600 children nationwide. Our government is trafficking children.
It’s so demeaning to teachers.
The PragerU test for teachers moving to Oklahoma is as bad as I expected it to be. Take a minute and read this thread.
We went from modern science to medicine wagon in 7 months.
Then require a yearly evaluation.
“It’s not a gun issue. It’s a mental health issue.” Fine. Let’s start requiring a mental health evaluation before any gun purchase.
Trump's tariffs are ruled illegal. Of course they are. He's a convicted felon. He's been a conman his entire life. His entire presidency is nothing but illegal actions. www.bbc.com/news/article...
If he’s on the golf course tomorrow, I hope it’s next to Ivana.
But I like jumping to conclusions. Stomps foot.
Your daily beauty
When your 11 year old, pregnant, unvaccinated child bride can't check "What to Expect When You're Expecting" out from the school library, but has a bulletproof backpack and a midnight shift at the unregulated meat-packing facility, you might be living in Republican utopia.
Jess! Good to see you. How are you?
I truly don’t understand the people who think teachers telling children how to run, hide, and fight during school shootings is normal but think a teacher acknowledging that someone has two moms or two dads is indoctrination.
I feel like we are a news cycle or 2 away from Republicans passing the Purge into existence.
This is good: With Trump/RFK destroying CDC, JB Pritzker's officials are exploring the possibility of buying Covid vaccines from manufacturers and distributing them in-state themselves, source tells me. Dem govs must step up and fill the void. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1998...
Labor Day feels like a good time to remind everyone that the current administration is actively weakening labor unions and rolling back worker protections in a concerted effort to destroy the middle class and stifle upward mobility for the working class. Enjoy the BBQ.
Right? Look how quickly they got that changed!
It's too bad Republicans don't care about gun violence as much as they care about the Cracker Barrel logo.
It’s hard to deny that.
We live in a country where it is harder to get access to a vaccine than an assault rifle.
I was two years into teaching. The only thing that’s changed is we’ve created a nation of traumatized kids who can barricade a door.
I grew up in the Columbine era of clear backpacks, when politicians thought that would stop shooters. I was 13 when that happened and I'm almost 40 now. It's getting worse. FFS.
After a mass shooting, it doesn’t matter if the shooter was gay, straight, bisexual, transgender, or a pterodactyl. What matters is they all had access to guns.
GOP hypocrisy in a nutshell. substack.com/@toshyou/not...
Just back from Ireland with my baby & how refreshing it was to hear objective,unbiased news reporting every day. It clarified how much the American media has been complicit in normalising recent US events. This is why we do the work in highlighting our government’s failures. We are the media now.
Dear journalists: The President has not fired Lisa Cook. The President is trying to illegally fire her. Your words shape reality — get it right.
Yes, we do. Urgently.
😂
It’S FrOM haNd SHakINg 😉
I can’t believe his hand isn’t healing as quickly as his ear did.

Number 6 says you shouldn’t commit adultery.
I can guarantee you I would squeal.
FOUNDING FATHERS has a good feeling when said with the right emphasis. Especially in these times. Works around kids, too.
I need a word stronger than fuck.
The fact that this administration is hell bent on punishing Kilmar Abrego Garcia while rewarding Ghislane Maxwell tells you all you need to know about their violent racism and misogyny.
“In a rare move for a U.S. public official, Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., called for a paper that found no link between aluminum in vaccines and disease to be retracted. The journal rejected the request.” www.scientificamerican.com/article/rfk-...

Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."
The FBI just scrapped its decades-old bachelor’s degree requirement for recruits—and slashed academy training from 18 weeks to 8. What could go wrong? www.msnbc.com/msnbc/amp/sh...
The orange fraud never paid his $200k Fulton County bond. He walked out on a cashless bond. Now he wants to ban them. RULES FOR THEE, NOT FOR ME.
A festive wipe?

If you burn an American flag, you get a year in jail. If you attack a Capitol police officer with an American flag, you get a pardon.
Trump isn't using crime data to decide where to send the National Guard. Trump is using election data to decide where to send the National Guard.
😂
It’ll literally never happen. US culture is gun culture.
That’s the way we used to do it. Now we have to coach them on how to flee or fight back. Imagine the questions they ask.
Ugh. I hate it.
🤦🏼♀️
I won’t even have time to trans anyone this week. I’ll have to book the secret room for next week.
We were told the same, which is why I have decorative bowls of rocks.
I’m gonna be pissed if it’s my classroom that gets dismantled as one of the lockdown rooms. (We line the desks and other furniture from the door to the wall as a barrier.) I already set the room up on my own time this summer.
We have meetings tomorrow morning and then a three hour drill. Three hours.
My god. Instead of common sense reform, we’re needing to ask kids to help us police the schools.
This one is for staff only, and then the one with the kids will be scheduled. I hate everything about it.
You mean it doesn’t??!
Nothing says it’s back to school season in America like an active shooter drill on the teachers’ first day.
No wonder he’s a raging alcoholic.
I agree.
“God will perfectly provide and organize everything you need” while Marge votes against anything that could help actual children.
If you're so confident about this, then interview the victims.
Eight people (insert maniacal laughter here)
😂 She's running for governor and can't even get Mom's for Liberty to show up to a speech 😂
I must have missed all the Law and Order SVU episodes where they didn't interview the victims and just asked the criminals what happened.
Walking around as president while wearing a hat that says you were right about everything should automatically trigger the 25th Amendment.
He knows it.
He’s my lovable misfit. 🐕
Stable genius stuff
Bingo
They’re painting the United States side of the wall black. Not both sides; just the US side. Read that again.
Frost: Trump traveled this nation and lied to everyone, told people the reason you can't pay your rent is because of that trans kid . The reason that you can't afford your healthcare is because of that immigrant. They want us to look at each other and blame our neighbors instead of blaming them.
What’s that? I was only half-listening.
Apparently learning about the Civil Rights movement is "inappropriate." www.upworthy.com/parents-comp...
In case you're wondering, THIS IS SOCIALISM
“There is no Epstein list” - Ghislaine Maxwell Well Ghislaine, when you take all the rich and powerful people who regularly spent time with Epstein on his island, planes, boats parties etc and write them all down on a piece of paper… That’s the Epstein list. Hope this helps.
