Attacking public education is a classic authoritarian tactic because schools teach critical thinking and foster pluralism. In my new book, "Why Fascists Fear Teachers," I talk about what this fight for public education means for our democracy.

It feels like being thrown out of your home after you’ve finally learned what home feels like.
I am going to try to go back to grief counseling because everything I’ve been through and accomplished so far in this emotional state is apparently not enough and somehow also too much.

Exactly right.
Remember, the Holocaust didn’t start with gas chambers in Auschwitz.
It started with politicians dividing the people with “us vs. them”.
It started with intolerance and hate speech.
It started when people stopped caring, became desensitized, and turned a blind eye.

The real fertility crisis is that globally, one quarter of all women cannot say no to sex. One third experiences sexual or physical violence. One quarter are not allowed to make decisions about their own healthcare. 220m women can’t use contraception. And half of all pregnancies are unintended

Haven’t Blueskyped in a while. It’s been about a month since I moved to Pittsburgh and things are going very well. I’m calling this time a personal sabbatical. I’m still sad, the absence still howls like 100 decibels of static. But I met two dogs and four new neighbors yesterday.
