Last minute I accepted an invitation to a late dinner. Said I could arrive between 9:15-9:30. He enthusiastically said yes because he was already ready. I arrive on time. No him. 8 mins later called and said he’s 20 mins away. 🤯 Would you stay or leave? What’s the convo if I stay?

Dismissing the top generals and commanders is setting this country up for a military that won’t represent and honor the constitution. This is the coup. Protect yourself and those in your community. We are on our own adrift.

They don't want to teach history so they can repeat it.

They created a college going culture -had us all decorating our doors with college banners and posters and wearing our alma mater sweaters on Friday. They never discussed: The wage gaps that persisted Last hired & first fired Social capital/who you knew was often more important than what you knew

The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.

Be sure to cancel that Tesla insurance. They’ll find a way to charge you after you return the vehicle if not.

A Thing you should KNOW & CONSIDER: The rich send their children to schools with teachers who have extensive experience & expertise. They rely on different teaching modalities. Project Based Learning, Experiential, Creative, Tactile style classrooms - Engaging. NOT SITTING AT LAPTOPS ALL DAY.

One of my pet peeves as an environmental journalist is when people go on and on about how "toxic" our environment is. Bitch, compared to what? 100 years ago women were literally eating radium (radioactive substance) for work Lead was in everything So was arsenic /1
