The felon in the White House has now threatened Norway over Greenland because he didn’t get his Nobel Prize for ending his imaginary 8 wars. This is not normal political engagement.
Senators are tut-tutting that war would trigger his impeachment.
This is a train wreck.

When you read fiction, you step into someone else’s mind and practice empathy in the most human way there is—through story. Read with curiosity. Let a character’s life brush against yours, and see what it teaches you.
My current read is just that for me. Have you read it? I’m enjoying it! #booksky

Do you think I could find a Pulitzer Prize on eBay? I’ve always wanted one. I’ve been nominated but I’ve never won. It’s such a shame.

Demonizing specifically white women who act in solidarity with racial minorities isn’t new. Here’s a southern political cartoon depicting Harriet Beecher Stowe, published in 1853. Surrounded by devils, she‘s holding a book titled “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” Subtitle: “I Love the Blacks.”

I made this blackout poem for a student’s journal. Elon is a 5th grader in WI. Her journal has been to places such as OH, Costa Rica, FL, now MI, and I sent it to a friend in NM.

Ooh, good on the Detroit auto workers for throwing shade on the felon from the White House when he visited the Ford plant.
And now you know what that man really thinks of them.
He pointed at them and said “F-you.”
