A profile of courage

submitted 39 days ago • 0 comments

“American exceptionalism” is the pinnacle of arrogance. It’s a falsehood that has motivated a sociopathic man to declare economic war on the world. This one man could be the downfall of civilization as we know it. Think about that. How bad is the system if one man has that much power?

For my trans friends on this National Day of Visibility… I see you. I see your humanity. I see your dignity. I see your struggle, both internal and outward. I see your courage, your hope, your pain. I see your right to live, love, and be. I’m glad you are on this earth.

What Trump doesn’t understand is that when he tries to bully art, art punches back. Only he’s too stupid to know it’s happening.

We have to care about this as much as we do about Signalgate.

In a world of Columbia Universities, Paul Weiss law firms, ABC television corporations, Metas, Mark Zuckerbergs, and Jeff Bezoses, be a Governor Janet Mills and a Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde. #resistanceisawoman

As shocking as it may seem to read the news about Columbia University surrendering to the fascist assault on education, it should not come as a big surprise to anyone who has been around higher education. The main motivator for nearly every decision made by “leadership” in higher ed is FEAR.

Resistance. Defiance. Courage. In the most beautifully human way possible.

Every single educators conference, workshop, & PD clinic this year needs to be singularly focused on working to unite against the fascist government threat. Classroom management, pedagogy, and repertoire won’t matter if this administration wins its battle to destroy American education.

Trump is defying the rule of law. His sycophants are supporting and allowing it. When will the oppositional powers make a stand against them?

Many Americans are discouraged today. It seems as if no one in leadership is willing or able to fight for decency, democracy, and the defenseless. This latest essay asks the question, "When is it right to do right?" I share truths that I've learned over my lifetime in answer to this question.

What’s behind the mindset of “toxic” empathy or empathy as “sin”? It comes from a place of arrogance in conflict with self-loathing, politics infecting religion, faith replaced with fear, bigotry conditioned by moral and intellectual laziness, and privilege mistaken for providence.

I’m looking at every college & university administrator. Every C-Suite executive. Every governmental bureaucrat. Every spiritual leader. Every military commander. Every politician. Every mirror. EVERYONE.

The concept of "toxic" empathy keeps building up steam within Christiamerican circles. One of the leading voices in this misguided movement is Allie Beth Stuckey, a Christian nationalist podcaster and author. Here is an open letter addressing the moral and ethical problems with her views.

“The artificial line of separation drawn many years ago will finally disappear,” said Trump regarding the border with Canada. So we can accept that borders and countries are just made up things? Like even the border with Mexico?

It’ll be strange to see music ed conference clinics switching from an abundance of DEI related clinics to ones about how to remove it from education so that you don’t get fired.

Much like a buried giant of Greek fame, With broken limbs askew across the land; Here at our white-washed, fastened gates did stand A beaten woman with a torch, whose flame Is now extinguished lightning, her new name Spurner of Exiles.

Ideas and beliefs for the closed-minded, non-critical thinker are created through INDOCTRINATION. Ideas and beliefs for the open-minded, critical thinker are created through IMAGINATION. Learn more about “thought authorities” and how they impact your world view and beliefs.

"What does it mean to be an “Independent Minded” thinker and how might someone know if they are one?" I discuss the ideas of thought authorities, dependent vs. independent thinking, idea genesis vs. idea generation, and non-critical vs. critical thinking.

It is never wrong to stand up against lies and bullies. Period. Full stop. Blaming Zelensky for the stupidity and evil displayed by Trump and Vance is no different than blaming a rape victim for what she was wearing.

The reason the Trusk beast is using DOGE to cut jobs is not about efficiency. It’s not even about wanting to put loyalists in place. It’s about setting up a government run on AI. Technology whose loyalty can be programmed. Technology that can be programmed to discriminate. AMERICA IS ICARUS.

It’s February 21, 2025 today. My 50th birthday. The universe says I should be wearing a badge that says “Midlife Crisis”. But it’s not a midlife crisis. Not even close. It is my midlife realignment.

So this would be the appropriate time for the educational system to grow a collective pair and two tell Trump to go take a hike.

Now that musk is saying he’s doing the DOGE stuff “because the globalists have plotted a Great Replacement in which they use government handouts to buy votes from illegal immigrants and urban blacks” maybe we don’t have to act like this is about deficits or cost cutting anymore
