Brutal but effective public health messaging from New York Public Health.
The CDC is compromised. They’re no longer a reliable source of information.
They push anti-vaxx & anti-science grift.
Get your vaccines. Wear a respirator. Clean the air
Get public health advice from experts, not RFK Jr

It’s the same old same old. Republicans do a tantrum and break the dishes. The Democrats clean it up. It’s an abusive relationship.

Absolutely wild that congressional Republicans woke up today and decided to call millions of patriotic Americans terrorists. If you want to change your profile picture today to tell people you're showing up on October 18th, we've got you covered.

Thank you Michael Fanone. For those who do not recognize the name, Michael is one of the officers who defended America on January 6th and was left permanently injured as a result. He is a true hero of our Democracy.

New Post: Beware Self-Care
Why does "self-care" advice for teachers ring so hollow? Because it misses the point entirely.
What if instead of telling teachers to care for themselves, we created schools where we all care for each other?

Beware Self-Care
I know that sounds like a strange title for a blog entry, but go with me for a minute here. I worry a little bit about how many educational organizations are preaching that educators have to engage in self-care, and the reason that I worry about that is because it feels to me that there is some organizational abdication of the need to take care of our educators when that is the message.

Dystopian positivity much? Heroism is always the byproduct of systemic failure. This is a disgrace. Of course the kids have to do the right thing when the adults in the room abjectly fail.

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

Friendly reminder. In the United States, criminals are entitled to due process. Even if you pay hush money rig an election, steal top secret documents, or incite a mob to overthrow the government; no matter how egregious your crimes, you’re entitled to due process.

North Carolina, you chose Allison Riggs to serve on the Supreme Court. Don’t let Jefferson Griffin and his election denier friends tell you otherwise. #OurVotesCount
