Not really important in the big scheme of things, but it drives me wild on FB when somebody posts "make this sharable" to somebody else when they post a meme but have privacy settings enabled. Clearly they don't want everybody seeing their shit. Just download the meme yourself and share it.

The Right is focused on education—banning books & history, & defunding schools. The Left hasn’t been as focused on education, but should because: 1) Students deserve to learn the truth & with it they can change the world 2) Educators are the most unionized workplace & can be a force for justice

I don't get excited about working in general, let alone working OT... but OT's not so bad when you paid a fair wage. Grateful everyday that I have a decent job, and a union that fights hard for me and my team to bring us closer to what we deserve.

A reminder of all the harm Kennedy could, and likely will, do in the HHS secretary role. Of all the confirmations, this one is going to have the most noticeable impacts on people's daily lives. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
