Someone just finished writing a novel.
Spoiler: It was me.
It's called "Monsters of Ohio," it's my 20th novel, and it'll be out in November.
I hope you'll like it.
I'm very tired.

I used to work for Harry Belafonte. Shortly before his assassination, MLK confided to him: “I have come upon something that disturbs me deeply. I’ve come to believe we’re integrating into a burning house. I’m afraid America may be losing what moral vision she had.”
I think about that quote a lot.

As y'all know, I was a kindergarten teacher for a hot second and have a M.Ed.
This shocks my soul to the core, but does not surprise me the least.
Out of the thirty people in my M.Ed cohort I can point to six who, through actions and words I observed, would do this heinous shit. And that was 2004

Kindergarten teacher called a prank ICE hotline thinking it was real. She called to report her 6 year old student to ICE to try to get them and their family deported.

She does not enjoy hearing her own words and actions played back to her.

A good time to repost this about Ilhan Omar 💕
A mutual aid organizer in Minneapolis told us that Ilhan Omar pops in to help with the foodbank.
No press, no photos, she just shows up and asks the organizers where she should pitch in.

Dear Media: people who vote for Donald Trump, especially after Jan 6, do not actually care about “following our nation’s laws.”
They’re just authoritarians.
Laws are to be used on the people they don’t like. History backs this up pretty hard.
Hope this clears things up a bit.
