On this anniversary of the murder of George Floyd, we remember him, all people murdered by police, & those wrongfully convicted. Standing with @caarprnow.bsky.social, we demand justice for them all! No to the Trump regime’s expansion of police power!

I teach online and see a lot of plagiarism and suspected AI misuse. I only dock for plagiarism when I find word for word matching & include the URL. When I see awkward, bulky phrasing, I ask if the student used AI but only dock points for poor writing style. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/17/s...

My Saturday PSA: Joe Biden isn’t the president anymore. Instead, we’ve got a mentally deranged and ethically compromised old man with the nuclear codes trespassing in the Oval Office. Stop talking about Joe Biden. Start talking about the Convicted Felon, Donald Trump.

Seriously? Donald can have a gold-plated airplane but American girls are to make do with a couple of dolls and all our children can expect no more than a few pencils for school and creative expression? Seriously?

If you live in Texas, please tell your legislators to vote "no" on this bill. We need to make exemptions harder to get, not easier, as exemptions put all of us at risk. www.texastribune.org/2025/05/01/t...

wapo.st/3GDzJFT Donald, the answer to "Do I have to uphold the Constitution?" is a simple and emphatic "Yes." You *do* need to uphold the Constitution.

I've gotten several hundred new followers today. I guess someone included me in a starter pack?? Anyway, thanks. I repost articles I find interesting; comment on absurd and infuriating stuff; and post about Resistance actions, pop culture, my locale, and my dog. Howdy.

We had a good turnout today to protest trump's budget choices. This week it was Congressman Jodey Arrington's office's turn to "host" the gathering. In addition to the signs, we now each write a letter to the member of Congress we visit and give those to their staff.
