ICE ended up returning the man, Saly, after realizing he’s a fucking US citizen with no criminal record, per his sister-in-law. These fucking animals.

Have you noticed ICE is consistently using suppressors (silencers) on their rifles?
Why are ICE agents using suppressors and battering rams to arrest old men and nonviolent people in broad daylight? This is for maximum effect imo.

Sunday, at least 7 ICE agents stormed a house and took an elderly man out into the freezing cold, wearing only his underwear and a blanket.
He was a member of the Hmong community, which came to the area from Laos in the 1970s after siding with the US in the Vietnam War.
Notice the suppressors

Comedians/satirists (think SNL) are often able to shine a light or call out wrongs in a way that many others can’t (or won’t). They really are here to hold our leaders accountable. Silencing them for doing just this is wrong; it’s scary; it should be what we call UnAmerican.
When a network lays off one of America’s greatest satirists, it’s not because he failed. It’s because he succeeded too loudly.

If you have a student (or newish) teacher on your gift list, I cannot recommend this book enough! @mrtomrad.bsky.social gives it to us straight while also demonstrating what a beautiful profession this can be. It’s helped facilitate many wonderful conversations with the new Ts I work with. #EduSky

Here's the thing—I’m good with my taxes subsidizing welfare benefits for neighbors who cant afford food.
But I’m enraged with my taxes subsidizing corporate welfare for billionaires who won’t pay living wages or their fair share of taxes.
You wanna cut waste? Pay workers. Tax billionaires. Period

Imagine that. Now let’s do paraprofessionals.
Shockingly, we solved our bus driver shortage by raising the pay, but also working w/the city to give them full time jobs, rather than asking them to work for a few hours in the morning & a few in the afternoon. There are other issues contributing but a full-time job w/good pay will fix most of it.

I feel like it is so important for ME to read and respond to student writing. It provides me with so much insight to where they shine and where they struggle. And they deserve to have ME look at their efforts. I just need more time. #EduSky #Englishteachers
To be very clear, as a teacher I don't want "time-saving AI tools."
I want time.

Okay, let’s give this one a try. Left the bird place a while ago; enjoyed threads. Looking to follow and engage with fellow high school educators, people who care about kindness but aren’t afraid to get tough if it means protecting the rights of others, and oh yeah, perimenopause - ugh.
