I made 38K my first year teaching in Arkansas. I held a BA.
I made 41K in Missouri after 16 years of teaching. I held an MA.

finally, proof that posting through it works
Oft remarked that two wrongs don't make a right, but never seen anytime establish in general that if you've done n wrongs then n+1 won't fix it. Keep going, dig deeper, there's still hope.

anytime a dork tells you the usps needs to be profitable ask them how profitable sewers are
NEW: The U.S. Postal Service posted a net loss of $3.3 billion in this fiscal year’s second quarter mainly due to “significant challenges out of our control,” including workers’ compensation costs, Luke Grossmann, USPS chief financial officer, said at the open session of the governing board meeting

Don't cheat on people. Have the uncomfortable conversation you need to repair or end a relationship. No one wants to be betrayed.

Members of the press love to marvel at the ineptitude of their own industry. Like an FDA inspector idly musing about how wild it is that there are so many salmonella outbreaks and asking if EPA inspectors would get fired if water pollution closed the beaches in Florida

So. When I say that arresting Mayor Ras Baraka, who is currently running for governor of New Jersey, is an insult to every person in New Jersey, every person in Newark, and every Black person, every poet, and every leftist in America, I stand by those words.

This is a concentration camp.
A non-legal system of indeterminate detention & denial of due process that operates in (at best) a legally liminal space & refuses legally required oversight…
…& disappears elected officials legally doing their job.

Not just a protest. Newark is suing the Delaney Hall Ice Detention Center, which never got legally required permits to house immigrants & refuses legally required inspections. Today is one of several times they have barred entrance to Mayor Baraka and other officials.
HAPPENING NOW: Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was just taken into custody while protesting outside the Delaney Hall ICE detention center

“Abolish ICE” is the moderate position. Radical is “prosecute every ICE employee under RICO.”

It is unlawful, unacceptable, and chilling.
They must free Mayor Baraska and respect cities' jurisdictions and sovereignty.
