Imagine having children instead of grades to worry about.

Any leader who calls a free and independent press “the enemy of the people” is an existential threat to democracy.

There is a culture of collusion between boards of directors (often CEOs or former CEOs of other companies) and top management to make sure everyone gets lots of money COMPLETELY REGARDLESS of how the company performs. This is not wild-eyed imaginings, it is fact. Plenty of CEOs have driven companies into the ground…

Totally off topic, but in case anyone is looking for good in the world.

They need to stop eating lead paint chips.

I’m involved. I’ve been involved with this stuff all my life. But I’m involved. So I know when you are telling the truth or when you are not. I just see many, many untruthful things. I will tell you what else I see. I see tone. You know the word tone. The tone is such hatred. I’m really not a bad person, by the way.

Yeah, ladies, naked is the new normal! Sending nudes is the new handshake! Women who are proud enough of their bodies to show them off makes men respect them MORE!

This guy said all kinds of stupid bullshit, BUT: I fucking hate being pregnant, you guys. I 100% feel like I am an unwilling host, unable to control anything about my body, and I really want this fetus to be done growing and get the fuck out of me (23 more weeks to go!). I’ve come to terms with hating this fucking…

And there it is.

It warms my heart to know that, in a few short years, it will no longer be difficult to explain why “Bati, bati,” was one of the funny arias in Don Giovanni, back when it was written.

Always remember: Bad schools make future Republicans! If don’t bother to teach kids how to think, they won’t bother to learn. This locks in your base for the next generation.

I have always loved writing. I’ve never really done a goddamn thing with it, but I’ve always loved it.

Public education has benefited me by allowing me to live in a society composed largely of people who’ve been given a basic education. No one has burned me or anyone I know alive for being a witch or sorcerer, or killed me to ensure a good harvest. When I’m sick, I can go and see a doctor instead of a shaman or priest.…

I learned to appreciate literature thanks to some incredibly awesome teachers. I found my people because of band classes (low-brass shout-out). I had a US history class that didn’t just focus “We’re #1" but actually talked about the darker things the US has done without sugarcoating it. My AP calculus BC teacher…

Public Schools benefitted me by making me smart enough to not vote for Trump.

Nope. All keeping Sessions on did was give cover to a couple Republicans to vote in a way they viewed to be politically expedient. Now, they have their “I opposed a Trump nominee” badge. Now they will fall in line and confirm every one of his remaining cabinet members. And Supreme Court Justice. This is all theater.…

I’m sitting at work, with you in spirit. I have 3 kids in public schools. All 3 will have her policies come down on them and at this moment if I could afford to send them to private school I would.

I am a public school teacher. I am sitting at my desk, which is in a classroom in a public school full of minorities and SpEd students, and I am weeping. I have about 9 minutes left on my lunch break, and I don’t know that I can pull it together in time. I am crushed, absolutely gutted. I am afraid for my students, I…

Wow.
