Teachers are reportedly spending an average of $895 out-of-pocket on school supplies — a nearly 50% increase since 2015. Is there a “teacher shortage,” or a shortage of jobs that treat educators with the dignity, support, and pay they deserve? https://youtu.be/AbBbhoHRPSU?feature=shared
normally I would simply discard such speculation as not worth my time, but seeing how things developed in the US, everything I thought felt like I was the conspiracy nut yet it still kept happening...right there! So yeah, call me crazy, but a former KGB officer doesn't seem the general type to me.
Quite so, and I watched in horror as in both Europe and the US that Russia has simply weaponized migration. Starting problems, pushing them over borders, and, I wouldn't hold it above them to incite terrorist attacks to destabilize the west. ==>Careful now though, the latter is wild speculation!
Corporate executives who defraud nursing homes? Pardoned. Reality TV stars who evade millions in taxes? Pardoned. Thousands of January 6th rioters? Pardoned. Anyone who opposes Trump? Prosecuted.
On the plus side, I see nearly everyone in my circles getting extremely upset with the far right being insufferable and reproachable bastards for pulling this insane stunt. They're not having it from the get go and they're vocal and online about it.
Well, in The Netherlands the extreme right types are trying to pin the murder of a 17y old woman (femicide) on migration and race. As if the murder wasn't bad enough, they're trying to gain political traction from it through deception. I lack the words to describe my disappointment & contempt.
"Never waste a good crisis" "No good crisis should go to waste" "One man's death is another man's bread" Tired of the bullshit yet? Me, too! No system should promote or allow such rampant inequality.
wait, they STOLE from a kid? x_x damn... that's...insane
😂 that guy smoked the grass or something, either that or he's pushing it up already

Say "cyborg" again. See what happens!

I guess the weapons of the surveillance state is turning against itself 🤷♂️
I'm feeling this post
This is like picking up a book with a screen in it that says, fuck reading, use social media. 🤯
So instead of killing fire with fire, did we ever set fire to fire? 🤔 That would be pretty wild
Vote for Jaun 💥👍🤣🤣🤣
He is the number Juan in all our hearts!
There are 3 major, key events in timeline of the 🇺🇸 United States that polarized the country in a way and on a scale that doesn't compare to any other event in its history. 1: The Civil War - Slavery & Racism 2: The Vietnam War - Communism & Cold War 3: Donald Trump - Fascism & Epstein Files

Staying calm, avoiding cursing and staying seated during tough times and passionate, heated arguments isn't idyllic and peak civilisation: it's a hurricane with less shrapnel, but it's still a hurricane. All you did was redistribute the turmoil to be handled privately.
Martyrdom I would rather see prevented. 💔
Competency replaced with loyalist sycophants
UX work is like IT security. Businesses simply will not care until it affects the balance sheets enough. I have seen zero businesses that do this from inception or by design. I have seen plenty of businesses that say they do, but do not.
The public is coming for you Epstein files!
Quickly looking up some US numbers from a US university on population and % of transgender people living in the US yields that 0.8% of people in the US are transgender. If you apply that to these numbers, 4:4193 (0.09%) and see the comparison. 0.8% vs 0.09%. Blaming transgender people is bullshit
Coworkers are coworkers, not friends. Coworkers that are also friends are called friends. Saying coworkers are friends and businesses are family is the corporate bullshit line. Don't buy into it. You're still a number on a sheet.
Plan B: Give the Nobel Peace Prize to the doctor that called the time.
I admire that kind of courage, and I would still do so if it were just madness. Onwards, to victory!
I need to know more about this topic...the reader will be bothered by my lack of experience in , and it's entirely reasonable for them to expect me to know everything. Guess it's time for Wikipedia...again...
So cute 😍
😂😭😂😭
The more I ask myself this question, the more I realize that the outcome of a military saying: "No" also means you've become the joke you used to call: "banana republic". A military answer to a civilian problem cannot miraculously contribute a civilian solution. Best they can do is be passive.
Dutch National news just reported a man died in his own home in Rotterdam because he was attacked by ... get this ... his own 2 dogs ... at home... When police entered the building one of the dogs had to be shot (before you ask, not by Kristi Noem this time). The dogs were killed in the yard. WTF?
Babies cry because they have limited communication tools at their disposal, and they're dependent upon care from caretakers. Humans, as a species compared to other mammals, take a lot of time to become independent and self sufficient (mild simplification). That being said, RFK jr is clueless
When you're smart, you will feel like you're surrounded by idiots. When you're right, you'll feel like you're surrounded by liars. 😔
Denying claims using AI? Where have I heard that before? Hmmmmmmmmmmmm...
The more I'm learning about the Vietnam War the less I understand it.
whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.......................... ok....now I know, too! ...wow! I always heard "can't" instead of "can", just like you said... WTF!
🎤🎵🎶 ❤️
😂 wonderful, just wonderful!
Instantaneous total destruction in a flash of bright, pure, light. I'm not saying I like the killing part, but damn is that a flashy way to do it 😎⚡
Maybe, but a divine smite would still dispel all the evil from their infernal beings, right? Or am I playing too many Heroes of Might and Magic games?
the way you just made it sound
This framing only works if the audience lacks even the most elementary understanding of the subject matter. Something something bigger picture than one individual's or one region's interest something something government responsibility.
Two countries are bombing each other. One in the oil refineries, the other is shooting back at civilians instead. Actions speak louder than words. 🇺🇦✊🏻
I'm not holding back on this one. It protects the working class from mass exploitation by powerful businesses. You know, being able to sleep, earn enough to live, have time to go to the bathroom, not be traded like a commercial, interchangeable, expendable number. It's about being human.
If you'd put a pedometer on Trump it wouldn't say the amount of steps, but just say YES!
I have the utmost respect and appreciation for what you just said. It takea tremendous heart to put it this well. Thank you Mr Reich!
The next days and months and years will demand from all of us great courage — and solidarity. Be prepared.
Merci! 😊❤️

The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it. ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures. Losers with power become the most dangerous kind. (c/o Caroline Codsi)
This looks promising! I look forward to seeing more news about it!
Crusades have been started over less
oof, that's a strong reference...
aaaaaaah, that's pretty damn funny 😂
Not sure if this is tongue in cheek funny stuff or seriously questioning the value of learning how to write. Either way , it depends on what you mean with "needed skill". If the only objective is, to be able to write in cursive in ink?Debatable...but there's more to it than just that.
riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.....
The financial cost of warfare "This CRS report provides estimates of the costs of major U.S. wars from the American Revolution through current conflicts in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere..." (source from 2010) --- Feel free to look for yourself: sgp.fas.org/crs/natsec/R...
Social Credit > Political Credit
And when they have succeeded, you can be sure that what has won was not entirely a selfless public servant, but a successful campaign runner only. I feel entirely uncomfortable having to rely on luck that a successful campaign runner is a positive force for the people. (2/2)
When in any democracy, a strategy is formed to gain support rather than to earn it by serving the people, when they skirmish and weigh words tactically to select positive election outcomes instead, how is that different from deceiving and betraying the public trust? (1/2)
Well, if you make it easy to live a life as an artist that does nothing rather than share their gift with the world...you can expect things like this! Take the capitalism thinking out of art 👍 it's too important for our species to stuff into a money algorithm.
Russia killing people and children in Kyiv. Again. 💔 This is not normal. This is not acceptable. This is a war crime and we do not believe their false "peace talks". All they want is land power and control, through force or words or both. Do not comply, do not surrender. Support Ukraine! 🇺🇦
Today I heard an older gentleman punch down on today’s younger generation. To him I say a great big ‘fuck you’. Young people today are just trying to get by in this debacle of a world that you older selfish arseholes have left them.
For what it's worth, anytime someone from my generation talks shit about other generations, up or down the ladder,I tell them to put a sock in it. Each generation has its own struggles, and adding generational class struggles isn't gonna unite us to fix a damn thing!
exactly! It's like trying to watch everything on YouTube. cannot. be. done. There's more coming in then you can view.
@call634-5789.bsky.social asking the real(!) questions!
This association cannot be unseen 😂 I'll see dogs and cuddles at every shout now haha
the right people meaning: "trump loyalist white supremacists" What a fraud!
This? This is just fighting while talking, talking while fighting. If Russia wanted peace they can just retreat and give back the land, the dead, and the stolen children. They do not, and they will not, so they have no intention of peace.

Excellent read! Thank you for sharing!
Spying on students and teachers is a tool frequently used by authoritarian regimes to maintain control over society and ensure that dissent and opposition are effectively monitored and suppressed. (1/44)
Low key loved the wii golf
Time for your daily reminder! Epstein
dear lord, it's adapted to stop using — It could be anywhere!!!
Wait, your name is "russ . bot" here??? 🥸 😱 scary
That is the only acceptable outcome for dangerous criminals that threaten and assault society and cause so much human suffering.
Don't you just love the part where they try to make Europe look like we're the Nazis while doing this 1984 shit? Goebbels would have been proud of this Russian adaptation of High Tech Totalitarianism
Can we use AI te replace all flags behind anyone from the Trump administration to the Nazi flag? I'd hate for anyone to be confused about the reality of the regime and their fascist methods, concentration camps and everything.
This comment deserves to be a standalone post.
Epic!
Now that's what I'm talking about!!!👏👏👏
