All school lunches should be free. And it’s a complete societal failure that they’re not.

These are $65 USD plus shipping.

Only shipping in the US for now.

My colleague: did you see the news?

Me: there’s a lot going on, which thing specifically?

Her: ICE is coming

Me: *panicking* here? To school? When?!!!!

Her: tomorrow morning.

Me: *visibly panicking*

Her: oh… no, mean the weather. Do you think we’ll have a delay?

You know what’s hilarious? So many bigots are posting on social media things like “OMG! These Bad Bunny lyrics are DISGUSTING, let me read a translation of them for you”

Then they read lyrics he didn’t even perform at the Super Bowl. So the people actually guilty of “spreading filth” are the bigots

Is anyone else’s targeted ads just a bunch of countries offering citizenship to Americans? No? Just me??

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:

"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

Where were all the “this music I can’t understand is too sexually explicit for kids?” when I was 10 years old and learning how to shake my hips to the Macarena?

You know one thing that sucks about jury duty as a teacher? You spend your prep time doing sub plans for the day your summoned, only to find out that night that your jury duty has been canceled and you did all that labor for nothing.

Ok Zillow, but this is exactly what Bad Bunny is warning against in "Lo Que Le Pasó a Hawaii" which he and Ricky Martin sang during the Super Bowl

Were you even listening??? 😩

Note to self: Being the Spanish teacher in your building means every single person you interact with today will ask your opinion on the Bad Bunny performance

The essential question that guides my 5th grade Spanish class is “Who are the people of the Americas?” so of course I added a clip of Bad Bunny naming all of the places in the “Americas” in my slides this morning.

Teachers,

If you waited until February to include Black history in your classes, you’re doing it wrong.

In Spanish we don’t say
“I love you”
We say
“Chinga la migra”
And I think that’s really beautiful.

We didn't say body cams on ICE. Their murders are already on video. We said no more ICE.

Spanish was given to my people
at the end of a sword, forced in our throats gory,
sharpened under the colonizer’s constant eye….

The languages I speak are bursting with blood,
but they are all I have.

Complaints about Bad Bunny's Grammy win because he speaks "The Language of the Colonizer" (Nena, I'm gonna hold your hand and tell you ANY Language dominant in a region, spoken by a marginalized community was learned via conquest. There wasn't DuoLingo in PreColombian America or West Africa

How does it feel trying to sleep at night when you spent your day arguing with strangers online that the government has every right to murder people?

Your government is lying to you.

The second amendment bros are real quiet as their brains try to figure out how to make “he was murdered for legally carrying a concealed firearm” agree with their “he deserved it” worldview.

The question is no longer “will this administration kill us?” it’s now “how many of us will it kill?”
