This remains timely:
If I ever have another job interview, and someone asks “Why do you think you could do this job? You’ve never done anything like this before...”
I will proceed to tell them the story of teaching during a pandemic...

Also, if you’re a straight across Democratic voter—Beware.
There are judges on both the Dem and conservative line.

Don’t be like me, do a little research before going into the voting booth.

Did not know about this proposition on the back of the ballot in NYS so I had to leave it blank.
but you don’t have to.
Trusted friends say vote yes.

This is absurdly bad PR. These are the images that need amplified. If you're online, think strategically about which images need to go viral to tell the story of the horrors of this moment. RT and share the shit out of them.

Here is a gift link to the article about what Graham Platner said about Military Sexual Assault survivors, and the documentary about MST called The Invisible War. Full disclosure: I was in that film. wapo.st/3L086sy

Maine Senate candidate downplayed sexual assault concerns in deleted posts

Democrat Graham Platner disavowed the comments in an interview with The Washington Post, saying, “I don’t want people to judge me off the dumbest thing I said on the internet 12 years ago.”

Vance, miserable liar that he is, referred to these bigoted, Nazi-flavored Young Republican posts as a "college group chat."

But most of the quoted in the Politico article are GROWN ADULTS with JOBS.

ADULT REPUBLICANS RUNNING A REPUBLICAN ORGANIZATION.

Filth.

100% Diabolical

Andrea Junker @strandjunker.com · 19d

Pretending to the world that you are the president of peace while waging war at home is diabolical.

It is not nothing that this paper is posting details of No Kings events for Saturday.
It’s the biggest paper in a fairly red county and tends to lean right in reporting…

Disability is one of the only minority groups you can join at any time.

Everyone thinks they will be the exception.

It won’t happen to them. They will “try harder” and overcome.

They think we’re failing.

It is not a moral failing and very few people will be the exception.

Decent, patriotic Americans are ANTIFA, Donald.

We are fiercely, steadfastly, unapologetically anti-fascist, and you know why? Because Americans are f*ckin’ supposed to be.

Here's Jennifer Schulze with a reality-based view of Chicago.

@NewsJennifer (Jennifer Schulze) @newsjennifer.bsky.social · 23d

Chicago is safe, beautiful and vibrant. In fact, it was just voted the best big city in America for the ninth year in a row. If the jaw dropping images you’ve seen recently on TV or social media make it look like a war zone, that’s on Donald Trump. My latest:

Fearless journalists & vigilant residents tell Chicago's story

The abuses of federal power are far worse here in Chicago. Don't look away.

I’m currently out of the country and mostly staying away from the news.
But someone sent me a link last night to write to the Nobel committee, pleading with them not to do the wrong thing.
What a relief to wake up this morning to this beautiful headline.❤️
Thank you, Nobel committee.

Listening to The Book of Hope by Jane Goodall.
So many great quotes for today’s world.
Here’s one:
“Hope does not deny the evil. But it is a response to it.”

Please do not give up Hope. It’s our only way forward.

“We have to be the consequence…
Stand strong…
Don’t give up.”
