Today I took advantage of the fact that my office is also my laundry room to invite my graduating seniors “behind the curtains” (a trans pride flag and a disability pride flag hung from their grommets behind my desk chair) so I could show them how to do laundry when they leave for college.
Jesus
i am genuinely astonished by how this guy speaks exclusively in cliches
This is true, and everyone actually doing this work knows it. And we do it anyway, because fuck ICE.
Oh look, it’s Cromwell!
I wonder if we can draft Henry Rollins
What the actual fuck please someone tell me this will be overturned on appeal
Thanks for the constructive commentary
Corvids are the BEST
Most of what I’ve seen from schools and teachers when (if) kids return is massive support. Psychologically one of the things that is reassuring for kids (and adults too tbh) is a sense of normalcy: welcome home followed by familiar routines
ICE is not just aggressive in case after case, courts are finding that the agency is operating outside the law. Federal judges across the country are issuing injunctions, and ICE is violating those orders too. Here's the pattern.
This. They’re going to jump on the “sleeper cells” to double down on their racist deportations.
Under Dem presidents the 20-day rule was largely adhered to. Certainly both the Obama and Biden administrations’ records on immigration are pretty crap, but “both sides” crap is crap.
Certainly not enough of us. Yet.
But you have more actual wild birds around, THANK GOD
Me either. But as an American, this is my responsibility to combat and bring to an end. That’s what citizenship means to me.
Lol I’m pleased to say that as a teacher it didn’t even cross my mind: my school doesn’t do punitive shit.
It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on not doing so
Lol. Lmao. This clown has no idea what “educated” means.
1. There are more productive actions than protesting
2. Where did I suggest you personally storm detention centers?
3. The shrug emoji and “sorry” undercut the “delightful” (which itself feels kinda off) rather badly
The people on this site need a break. Post 3 good things that aren’t the cessation of a negative.
1. Today I helped 10th graders understand why Paradise Lost is so amazing
2. Our elderly neighbor came over and sat on the porch a bit
3. Our tenant’s dog came to greet me today when they got home
“Moisture” ::shudder::
This seems obviously bad.
“We’ll be greeted as liberators”
Suddenly feel relieved that I didn’t attend Haverford, 40 years after making the decision.
Imagine being an fbi agent and being told you have to take part in this.
The Pentagon dismantled its civilian protection effort as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made “lethality” a top priority and the Trump administration reorganized national security around two principles: more aggression, less accountability.
My students today reminded me of why fungi are our closest evolutionary kingdom. “I dunno, Tedra, maybe you should retake 9th grade biology…”
Jesus. Fucking. Christ. This kid wants to get out of detention in time for his school spelling bee. What the fuck are we doing.
