The argument “young white men turn to hate because they don’t get enough empathy for the barriers they face” needs to square itself with the reality that men and women of color — and many white women — faced generations of barriers without turning to hatred in the same numbers. 1/

I deleted it but fuck it, this part was worth keeping: in high school I grew up in the same part of the city as Stephen Miller. I knew someone who stopped him from bullying them by throwing a chair at him. Throw a chair at Stephen Miller.

when i was a child, my family took CHIP and food stamps. this shaped my entire orientation toward government programs (positive) in a way most pundits don't have access to. and also, not to brag, but i think my siblings and i are proof that the ROI on feeding children is very high

Periodic reminder that any pundit who isn't demanding Trump's impeachment/removal and talking concrete strategy for achieving that goal is wasting your fucking time. There's a fire up the road, and they're juggling in the intersection where the fire trucks are trying to get through.

I’ve been fighting billionaire voucher schemes that cut funding for public schools and hang working families out to dry. It’s all part of the same push to gut Medicaid and other public investments—just to cut taxes for the ultra-rich. I mean. Literally. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

The tanking UHG stock price is cool and everything, but what really makes me smile is the thought of their investors crying and filling their diapers because UHC isn’t killing poor people good enough.

On Monday, May 12, A5077/S4375 unanimously passed the Senate Education Committee. This is a major win for educators because it puts the bill one vote away from Gov. Murphy’s desk. If passed, the bill would extend the pause on the use of SGOs for most teachers in New Jersey schools. #WEareNJEA

Everyone keeps saying that they can't say what they hope happens to the ICE agents who are doing this but I can - they're clearly engaged in gross violations of the law and I want every Democratic candidate from here to infinity to pledge to help prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law

Arizona educators poured into downtown Phoenix tonight to demand a CLEAN renewal of Prop 123 that protects public schools. NO to expanding private school voucher scams. NO to pay cuts for educators. We believe in public schools. It's time for AZ lawmakers to show us if they do too.

This is how I feel, too. I think a large part of how we got here is that test-based K-12 education is so deeply flawed. There is almost no reading or writing compared to when I was in school. Then, when students hit college they've never practiced those skills, so of course turn to LLM's.

I 100% would have used ChatGPT for homework when I was in school, because homework sucked ass. However, if I hadn't been forced to bullshit a lot of essays 15 minutes before class I wouldn't have learned that I enjoy writing. The moral is to destroy both ChatGPT and homework.

This is one of the subtle inequalities perpetuated by charters. Even some public schools have stopped providing transportation to some kids. Often in cities with limited public transportation, if any.
