The most antichrist thing I can think of is developing a political movement that infiltrates the church and spreads the idea that Christ's words are woke.

Fox News Headline: Sen Smith (D-MN), Musk Trade Blows Over DOGE Photo: side by side of Sen. Tammy Baldwin and Elon Musk.

That’s Tammy Baldwin — not me. You can keep track of all the hundreds of white men but it’s the 28 women in the Senate that trips you up, Fox News?

Happy Public Schools Week!

As a former teacher, I know that public schools are not just where our kids go to learn - they’re the center of our communities.

That’s why I was proud to make the largest investment in public schools in state history.

fixing headlines is fun.

In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…

Senator Tina Smith said: This is the ultimate dick boss move from Musk - except he isn’t even the boss, he’s just a dick. That was in response to Musk saying “Consistent with President @realDonaldTrump's instructions, all federal employees will shortly receive an email requesting to understand what they got done last week. Failure to respond will be taken as a resignation.” Musk responded @SenTinaSmith “What did you get done last week?”

Elon, I hate to break it to you but you aren’t my boss. I answer to the people of Minnesota.

But since you bring it up, I spent last week fighting to stop tax breaks for billionaires like you, paid for by defunding health care for moms and babies

So true!

Rising Need, Falling Finances: Layoffs Hit LGBTQ Student Support Groups Hard As Trump edicts drive donations down, suicide hotlines ring off the hook and the future of in-school protections are in doubt

My friend Beth Hawkins has a piece worth reading: "LGBTQ student support groups face rising needs but shrinking funds."

After Trump’s first election, donations to LGBTQ advocacy groups soared. But now, as anti-LGBTQ laws increase, funding is declining — just as the need grows.

For the love of God, will you guys stop sending me things written from ChatGPT? It's not cute, and it's disrespectful. Just so you know, there are about eight or nine words Chat loves that we never use in common conversation. It's a big giveaway.

BTW - I don't include Grammarly in this.

Instead of Napoleon, Trump should cite Óscar Benavides: "For my friends, anything. For my enemies, the law."

The last time someone gave me a hard time about saying "master bedroom," I was hanging out in a pub on Mars with the Easter Bunny and The Avengers.

You know things are bad when you agree with Three Shirts McGee.

First, I'd be good with engaging the daughter of a coffee plantation owner and someone who lived under a foreign dictatorship. Us non-Ivy Leaguers don't have access to that world fund of information.

Second, emancipation, reconstruction, integration, and civil rights cause animosity.

In a world without Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, a FOX News gets the position leading the military so he can fire a four-star general and combat veteran.

Merit is a myth.

Thanks, Anne!

Black futures in trouble Black children are no longer the focus of education reform. The rest of us can't be so callous.

Black children are no longer the trendy focus of education reform. The rest of us must continue working toward educational equity.
