New— I wrote about the amazing success of the Greg Bovino Bitch Fund Benefiting Immigrant Rights in Minnesota (more than $18k raised just from bluesky!!!), how people far and wide are inspired by the fighting spirit, and why I feel it’s my duty as a journalist to use my platform for material change:

The thing about America today is that if you just describe what is happening objectively and unemotionally you sound hysterical and partisan and what you have to remind people is that the reason for that is not you, it's the people doing the things you are describing
This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars

It should piss everyone in the U.S. off that a first-year public school teacher averages $45k a year, while a first-year ICE agent averages about $80k and gets a $50k sign-on bonus. We are bankrolling terrorists & bankrupting teachers. This is a systemic values problem, not a budget one.

Union leadership need to start taking concrete steps to get their house in order and ensure they're internally organized enough to take job action when needed.
