Some days you feel helpless & hopeless, that’s human nature and those of us interested in politics, know this all too well.

Just when you want to throw your hands up, you remember that things change in the blink of an eye, like dictators for instance.

Things change, never give up ❤️ #everyone

I really like this guy, he’s diplomatic yet direct. I think he’s showed tremendous restraint until now. We support teachers in our house.

When asked about the UCP's statement on the last offer by the ATA which said teachers need to expect a deal that is "rooted in reality"...

ATA President Jason Schilling held very little back in his response.

Today...

Sigh.

Danielle Smith couldn't articulate the difference between students and teachers and then postulates that if every registered teacher was working full time hours we wouldn't have a class size problem.

Roll the clip.

Her response?

"I don't know"

So we're back to doing complex policy via "Dani free associates words" again.

They told Kipnuk it wasn’t worth funding. They called it “wasteful.” And now, homes are gone, families are stranded, and lives are shattered. This was not politics it was people’s lives. And nothing can erase the heartbreak of what they’ve lost.

The E.P.A. canceled a $20M flood protection grant for Alaska's Native village of Kipnuk in May, calling it "wasteful DEI spending." On Sunday, Kipnuk was devastated by floods that destroyed homes and left residents stranded. - NYT
