I had a silly little video about teaching difficult history blow up on the clock app. Some people say ‘what’s the big deal, everyone learned that.’ Some say they never did. Some people think it’s all I teach. It’s just the stuff that sometimes doesn’t get covered, that the P2025 group doesn’t like.

Apparently, allowing Americans to file their tax returns for free is a bad thing. A big gift to the Big Tax lobby and a big middle finger to Americans.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

The cruelty is a feature. Holding SNAP, Title I, TANF, Head Start, and other assistance programs hostage. Calling anything you don’t like ‘Marxist.’ We are entering a Very Bad Time. I fear for my students and my community.

If you’re calling yourself a “Christian” and gleefully wondering if God is punishing California - you’re not a very good Christian.

Found out my neighbor is a terrible human. Something was said after a blessing about California ‘getting what it deserves.’ I said that it was a terrible thing to say but we were guests and didn’t want a fight. This was a holiday gathering and we have lived here a long time. Ick. Didn’t stay long.

The deep goal of bluesky is to decentralize the social internet so that every individual controls their experience of it rather than having it be controlled by 5 random billionaires. Everyone thinks they signed up for a demuskified twitter...we actually signed an exciting and bizarre experiment.

Hating me as a teacher is probably valid because I had the audacity to hold you to high standards and expect you to do your work. #teacher

So how do we stop the Democrats from getting blamed when Trump tanks the economy? How do we fight the disinformation machine?
