Being in the grapes when a pesticide duster flies over and sprays you and everybody else in the field

As if they didn't see the cars parked near the field, or the people in the field?

They run like hell and strip naked. How can they wash it off?

What are we doing to our workers?

Ultraviolence?

Are they throwing people to the ground? Tackling? Kneeling on people so they can't breathe? Rubber bullets? Chemical weapons? Kidnapping?

Wait, resisters are showing up in costumes to a gun fight.

Not only will AI grading be the end of teaching because of the labor dynamics Marc covers, but it kicks off a process of what I call "self-alienation" where the teachers gradually remove themselves from the essential human experiences of their own work.

Sick and wrong - throwing her to the ground. Kneeling on her so she struggles to breathe. (Her pants 😭).

Without action ideas are useless. Poorly implemented ideas are worse than no action at all.

Right out of Netayahu playbook where, after Hamas accepted a ceasefire, he said he would come after every terrorist.

Remember, he's been bombing terrorists for nearly 730 consecutive days.

More importantly, the use of *sleepy town/ riot.*

Both are exaggerations, but he's still admitting these cities were fine before federal militarized troops AND that the troops' presence is causing the turmoil.

*I* simply means he's claiming to do a job delegated to him by Trump. #Miller #war
