#ResistTrump

Finding it harder and harder to keep depression and anxiety under control. I am scared for my country, my students, friends, family, and myself.

Today I wore #RedforEd to support my students and colleagues. We participated in a nation wide walk-in to communicate that the demolition of the Department of Education will only hurt students.

Today is the kind of day where I find myself looking at vacation spots when I should be working.

Oh no!! Sending lots of love!

I have decided to call @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social EVERY DAY to tell him to fight harder. The days of being cautious and timid have led us to fascism. I will remind him he works for us and that he needs to ramp it up.

I called and left a message today. Please join me.
His number: 202-225-5936

Sharing more townhall videos today because they’re giving me hope.

THIS is good trouble!

Who is this man? I want to shake his hand and buy him a drink.

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

DOGE recommended firing workers at:

-FDA, which oversees Neuralink

-FAA, which oversees SpaceX

-USAID, which probed Starlink

-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.

"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Angry and scared. A home in the neighborhood where many of my BIPOC students walk through now has a ton of trump flags.

REP. JONES: “Happy Black History Month — we know by ‘DEI’ they mean Black… we need to stand up for racial justice & Black history… this building was built by the enslaved… our history should guide us… let’s tell the truth about it and make 🇺🇸 what it ought to be.”

We are at this inflection point in American democracy being no more bec a majority of adult white people can’t handle black & brown (& women) being treated w/dignity & equality to their humanity, & most white Americans would rather destroy🇺🇸democracy & their comfort than see that come into fruition.

Was hoping this little democracy experiment would last…. Guess that was just a little too much to ask.

Facebook added Trump and Melania to my follows.
Thus it starts.

With everything so seemingly terrible these days & no sign of anything remotely hopeful in the near future, I thought you might need this photo of a baby giraffe.
