If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

Farmers grow what they grow because of farm policy.

We don’t need all the soy and corn that we grow, but those are the commodities that receive subsidies and markets.

If we want something better, if we want to heal the Earth and grow food, now is the time to do it.

If Mike Johnson is refusing to call the House back into session during the shutdown, then we’ll do the work right here the Bronx.

The New York Essential plan is being eliminated entirely next year due to the GOP healthcare cuts. People’s lives are at stake.

And that’s why we’re fighting back.

If measles hits Alaska we will most likely see it first in the home school community before public schools.

It won't take long to get into our public schools because the Interior (including Fairbanks) has a very low rate of vaccination for Kindergartners (ages 5-6) of 57%.

This is a tinderbox.

I said something similar back in 2020. So did many others. The consequence of not holding them accountable is all around us now, threatening to consume all of us. The consequences of "expedience" aka cowardice will haunt us until we face the core issues that keep driving them. Start with racism.

Charter schools are not delivering on what they promised according to reports I've seen. So, I'm preliminarily concluding that they've been nothing but a scam all along, with the side benefit of gutting public education and dumbing down the population while profiteering.

The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social · 22h

FLORIDA now requires public schools to share space with charter schools, and “one charter operator intends to occupy space in more than 100 public schools (!)” 🤔

OK, seriously, who thought they really intended to do anything meaningful on renewables when they can keep raping the planet for profit without penalty, but with US government subsidies for fossil fuels far larger than any for renewables?
