Great article tallying the impact of National Park firings. Illustrates how “probationary” employees can include very experienced employees who just took on new positions

Oh, now we're dragging people out of the SOTU. Democrats, your job is not to be quieter because Al Green got dragged out. It's your job to get LOUDER.

youtu.be/KBOJhU2pLMo Full Illinois Gov. Pritzker State of the State address. Brilliant speech about how seeds of hate are planted. We need leaders like him and Maine Gov. Mills who won’t bend the knee to Trump because they know they serve the people and the Constitution of the USA #learnfromhistory

I can’t believe I wasted so much time on IG posting pics of my dog, when I could have been here on #BlueSky keeping current on politics. Also, here is a pic of my dog.

Just had to tell my college-aged kid to hurry up and finish off her meningitis and HPV vaccine series. I put off getting my COVID update because my pharmacist said an annual vaccine is coming. Not risking that wait.

This. Having taught special education and in Title I schools, it’s the most vulnerable children who will be hurt. You think education funding is bad now… An even greater loss is the protection of the civil rights of children to an equal education. He’s destroying democracy itself
