Finally, some common sense from Oklahoma education.

Ryan Walters turned classrooms into culture war battlegrounds. Reversing his Bible mandate isn’t “anti-religion,” it’s accepting the fact that the Bible is not a history book!

Schools should teach, not preach.

"Pablo" is picking oranges in Woodlake, CA. He shares, "We fill around 5 bins in a 6 hour work day. The work is very hard on the bodies as they have to go up and down a 16 foot ladder while carrying a sack of oranges that weighs 60lbs-80 lbs." #WeFeedYou

I continue to see media comments that Chief Justice Roberts is afraid to buck the Trump administration. Instead, the evidence is that Roberts is on board with the whole plan for an authoritarian executive shored up by extreme right wing evangelical and Opus Dei-style fundamentalism.

I can’t emphasize enough how useful being autistic is for academic research. In particular, the ability to make connections & spot patterns across large quantities of data. I feel like this is what my brain was made to do. #Autistic

I'll say it again. Our biggest help in bringing an end to Trump is that Trump is nothing more than a spoiled nepo baby fuck up with no vision, no skills.

Exactly! Absolutely, all day long! But what about $30B to bail out Argentina? America first anyone? While our own government is shut down? While healthcare is stripped away from working Americans? 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🫤

Yes your taxes should support disabled people.

They should support homeless people.

They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly.

This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.

Just watched a video (of someone from outside the book community) that started off with the premise “read diverse fiction to combat authoritarianism” and then went on to give 1984 as an example 🤦🏻‍♀️

Anyway, please follow BIPOC creators who read and recommend actual diverse fiction every single day

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.
