What I really hate about literally everything with this administration and it's bullshit right now is that nothing, NONE OF IT, is for any real reason. Just dismantling shit and blowing up shit just cause. And that makes me furious at the people who thought letting this fool back in office was ok.

Oh.

We could’ve had a Black president for Juneteenth

That would be awful. Don’t share this.

Thread from @shellrouch asking “Parents of middle and high schoolers: if your school has the grading portal that is regularly updated, progress reports every three weeks plus report cards: do you consider this notice of your child's grades or do you also expect a call or email or other communication when your child is underperforming? I truly want to know. I hear so much "the teacher never told me" when you have 24/7 access to grades. I'm baffled, but willing to listen.” Qualifier: all students can pull up their grades in the portal as well. And either have wifi or were given a hotspot by the school so this is not an issue where the grades can't be accessed.

The conflicting answers to this question posed on Threads are why I chose to start home adult emails from students updating them on the students’ progress. It was a game-changer and it forced students to be accountable in a tangible way for their own progress.

My great uncle was lynched after coming home from WWI because he went to town & wanted a drink and they refused to serve him— a VET who just fought for this country

After missing for hours my granddaddy found him hanging from a tree

Dang! So sorry and hope you feel better soon! Rest and stay hydrated.

Jamie Dimon says the *best case* scenario for the US is now a recession.

Cool, cool. From the best economy in the world to a self-inflicted recession in 4 months.

Gotta be some kind of record.

It’s a criminal agenda.

AP Headline: USDA ends program that helped schools serve food from local farmers

Bad for school kids, bad for farmers, and sure as hell won’t “make America healthy again.”

I think the lightness in my soul comes from the vindication I feel at literally decades of systemic injustice in this country being proudly put on display. These people are who they have always been. Black people aint never lied to you

Any politician or pundit telling us to stop advocating for due process for the men in CECOT because it's not "politically expedient" needs to go,

spring is your reminder that you are not stuck, every day you have the chance to start fresh

If anyone you know in ICE tells you they’re “just following orders” remind them of the following:

- they can read

- they’re aware of the SCOTUS ruling and numerous injunctions around the illegality of what they’re doing

- feigning ignorance will not soften their place in history…or in America.

RFK Jr. is very loud and very WRONG about Autism.

1. It’s not a disease
2. There are thousands of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder who pay taxes, have jobs, can use the bathroom on their own, and are thriving in life.

It’s one hour left in April 12th…le sigh

The President’s unprecedented Executive Order yesterday targeting Messrs. Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor for nothing but the exercise of their First Amendment rights is the President’s most constitutionally corrupt Executive Order to date.
