Olmsted Falls Schools superintendent calls state voucher program ‘welfare for the wealthy’
"Residents are paying local taxes that not only don’t benefit the community but, due to the decrease in public school funding, will lead to district having to seek new money."

I have never seen so much value destroyed deliberately. This is the worst leadership ever.

I’ve been reading Nothing to Envy by Barbara Demick abt life in N.Korea. She talks about Kim Il Sung propping himself up as their leader, then father and provider, and as their god - while the regime couldn’t provide enough food so ppl starve. Alongside that, this language feels eerie and deranged.
Kudlow: "Buying cheap goods is not a real prosperity, and we don't have to accept that. So you lay the law down, that's all. Look, all the badly behaving children in Asia and elsewhere are coming home to papa. They're all on the phone begging for mercy."

If your pastor is trying to preach bravely right now, support her or him.

Up your pledge (to make up anyone threatening to withdraw support) if you have the means.

Tell them that you have their back.

Speak up in defense of bravery and truth.

Pray for the pastor-and your fellow parishioners.

You were told in church that you were depraved and couldn’t trust your intuition.

They will use that to further gaslight you these four years. Do not let them. What you’re seeing is what you’re seeing. Trust your intuition. It’s not ok.

I’ll never get over that all of this was avoidable and our kids could’ve had a better future had voters just made the obviously rational choice in November. It’s water under the bridge now. But what the fuck, people.

It’s wild how people are getting mad at Amazon workers for going on strike during the holidays, instead of being mad at Bezos for mistreating his employees. I saw one post calling the employees selfish for delaying people’s Christmas gifts.

My town today. Reportedly chanting “white power, praise trump.” Not surprised, we normalized it, we accepted it. And here it is, boldly.
