America’s teachers are working two jobs and barely getting by | CNN Business Ashley loves her day job teaching math, reading and science to fifth-graders in Washington. But like many other teachers, Ashley relies on a side hustle or two to get by.

The overwhelming majority of American public school teachers (71%) hold at least one side job, according to a new survey released today.

But also be wary of debt cancellation during trump administration, as they plan to tax it

By that definition we could drop nukes… we can use AI killing machines (actually are apparently)… we can use all the bombs in the world…

Only boots = war?

Trump Gets a Laugh from Zelenskyy After Joking That 'if We Happen to Be in a War' in 2028, 'No More Elections' President Donald Trump once again hinted at finding a way to evade his presidential term limit during a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Aug. 18

I think about this from time to time

Even if he were to be honest on the progressive issues he is campaigning on, you cant be a (true) leftist and ignore antisemitism

*sees news of massive protests at US embassies, of Israel using it to expand genocide, of children being bombed….*

Oh ya, those videos are proof its allllll good bro

Literally a Trump sycophant at this point. Just blocking

What are they doing?

Ill to to anti war protests when they happen.

If you think assassinating leadership in Iran without a plan for stabilizing the region is good for the average Iranian…

Itll be a first in colonial violence history, is all i say.

Same way some Gazan refugees supported trump in 2024. Grasping at hope is powerful, but not always based on reality.

But again, i also dont really accept random videos without corroborating evidence as proof of anything

01.03.2026 18:48 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

I have no doubt many refugees are hopeful. But videos arent proof of broad consensus for one thing, and even if they are Iranians cheering the death of a theocratic despot (who could blame them?) doesnt mean what will play out will be a positive.

Some people will be dancing when trump dies, doesn’t mean we welcome an assassination Β―\_(ツ)_/Β―

Yeah. Granted im a mass transplants (of family that transplanted from Canada), but i never understood the state border hate.

I also grew up in rural Massachusetts, which the conversation doesnt ever seem to include.

I always find it ironic the free staters who moved here trash on Mass transplants.

Those extreme β€œfree staters” values were never part of NH’s fabric.

You dont believe that Israel bombed a school with children in it? Id be surprised if they DIDNT based on their actions in Gaza

They murdered dozens of elementary aged iranian school children in an illegal use of military force, and this is your lame ass response?

Resign.

28.02.2026 17:32 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

This is not it.

It is an illegal attack under international law. We are the terrorists here.

Call out illegal use of military force under international law.

28.02.2026 16:55 β€” πŸ‘ 12    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

It’s an illegal preemptive war and should be called out for that. Full stop.

The β€œWho β€œ is arbitrary

Congress approving it wouldn’t have made it legal
