Well that's another reason never to buy a @fordcompany.bsky.social product. So now people can't shout out stuff at the convicted felon without his minions getting their undies in a bunch. #FirstAmendment #WorkerRights

"Silence is consent. And silence where life and liberty is at stake, where by a timely protest we could stay the destoyer's hand, and do not do so, is as criminal as giving actual aid to the oppressor, for it answers his purpose."

If it can happen to a mother of three, it can happen to you.

The bangs on the door of your neighbor can be on yours.

The stop of a special ed students bus can be your kid's bus.

The invaded school can be the one your kid attends.

Denying due process to one can deny it to you.

Sometimes I remember how darn proud of the adults many of my former students have become, of what they have accomplished and what, I am sure, they will accomplish. So, this is my reminder to them #Advice

If the Bears win the Super Bowl their fans just might stop talking about 1985 and some of them might stop wearing those Mike Ditka outfits. Erasing Ditka from their hero worship would not be a bad thing.

Some friends, former colleagues, and relatives know why the Dead always had a special place in my heart even though I only came close to seeing them live.

@thisamericanlife.org Glad I came across this episode this morning. The 1st half is about military calling help lines about illegal orders. The second half is about the power of women rising to their moment in history. Could learn a lot from them. #podcast #resist

I guess if you’re okay with invading, bombing, killing citizens of foreign lands along with arresting and killing U.S. citizens, you’re probably okay with this too.

I was going to suggest the word "pudendum" for today's Spelling Bee, but then I looked at your submit caveat. AI models? WTF. Makes me suspect how you write your news now, too.
