Respectfully, step up man. This is giving “thoughts and prayers”. You are literally watching the country burn from the sidelines.

Can someone get on the phone with Obama? Or Bush? Or literally any of our former presidents. Are they really just going to sit on the sidelines while WW3 starts and America becomes a police state?

i'm surprised by how low energy and farcical that whole military parade situation was. I was expecting Moscow 1945 and we got Spirit Halloween instead.

You are right. For me, it’s not a terrified of being around people. It’s terrified to retaliation or of being arrested. I can’t afford bail. I need to go to work to pay bills and feed my family. And I recognize others aren’t even getting that opportunity. That’s the part I am struggling with.

What about those of us who are terrified?

Undocumented immigrants paid over $70 billion in US taxes last year. Amazon and Jeff Bezos paid ZERO.

This is an argument I've gotten into with other teachers and admin, and I don't understand how I'm always in the minority on this. If we don't believe there's value in what we're doing, how can we expect students to? They can tell when we're phoning it in or using AI and they tune out.

When the dust settled, the Supreme Court ruled time and again that the US government could not put suspected terrorists in a black hole at Guantanamo Bay, but that they had fundamental legal rights. Surely undocumented immigrants have at least the same level of rights as suspected terrorists.

One thing that most people are missing in the group text scandal: The Trump officials don’t appear clear on what *exactly* Trump approved, which is a huge problem in using military force. Stephen Miller says “as I heard it … green light.” 😱😬 www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/six-short-...
