My resentment towards ed tech is on the rise.

It feels more and more like we’ve sold our schools to them for little more than shiny promises and electronic waste.

I am so tired of Ed tech companies selling us their latest nonsense.

If Ed tech wants to impress me, how about building a copy machine that works

These bozos are weak and trying to project strength.

Real strength is when the people support you.

Dunno man, seems a little misleading to write an article about Trump describing activity in Portland and Chicago as “insurrection” with a 33 year old photo of a burning donut shop taken in the 1992 LA Riots (sans caption explaining that) as the header on all your posts about it.

The picture from
The article with a picture of an armed men standing in front of a burning donut shop. You must click through to read the caption “
Two National guardsmen stand guard outside a burning donut shop in Los Angeles on April 30, 1992.
The National Guard was called in to aid police during the second day of rioting in the city.”

I know schools are busy places, so who knows, but that feels like showing who is boss/in power.

The top federal prosecutor reviewing the trumped-up case against New York Attorney General Letitia James has reportedly decided not to bring charges.

Elizabeth Yusi told colleagues that she sees no probable cause to believe James engaged in mortgage fraud. Prosecutors expect her to be fired.

ICE is hog tying protesters in Portland and removing them on Dollies.

This is dangerous and could cause serious injury.

The Department of Homeland Security thinks it’s a joke.

They’ve shared this video with the tagline “Refuse to Walk? We’ll give you a ride”.

Stay strong Portland.

People need to understand that the president will have more powers if there is some kind of war.

They’re bullies. They are going to try and provoke as provoke and provoke until they get a reaction, then they’re going to claim powers.

We must resist.
