the way out of this is two-fold: (1) mass cooperation with our neighbors— a historic DIY effort at the zip code level to ensure sure we’re fed, safe, housed, connected, and have medical care. (2) pervasive noncooperation with this illegitimate regime. 🚨i’ll say it again: hide regime targets now. 🚨

This is embarrassing. Like I've always thought our country's collective sense of superiority, paired with its profound lack of curiosity outside our borders, has made us pretty gd dumb on the world stage. But this is like on a level embarrassing even for cartoon villains. Pathetic piece of shit.

This is not a border crossing.
There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior.

This is a blatant civil rights violation. How is anyone supposed to know whether this man is a real ICE agent or just pretending to be one?!

WGN, this woman’s employer, is now reporting she was not charged with any crimes and was released.

DHS said earlier she was arrested for assault for throwing objects at agents.

you don't need to use the LMS to teach online. there are a lot of us out there who do teach online but who refuse to use LMS because, well, they suck and always have. i also create joyful assignments, rooted in play, that a computer can't mimic and even if it could they're too fun not to try out.

I know Mike Johnson says there is nothing for the House to do but there is.

You see by law a budget was supposed to be in place by Sept 30th, but Rs haven’t passed one. The reason? There isn’t a GOP budget. They haven’t even started working on one. This is what the House should be doing FFS!

Mr. President. Stop breaking the law. 

The shutdown does not give you the right to fire thousands of hard working federal employees.

Instead of giving huge tax breaks to your billionaire friends, show some respect for the struggling working families of our country.

yes. i already teach in a way that moves around this nonsense. it's not that hard, but you DO have to let go of policing as the primary tool in the teacher's toolkit.
