@todmaffin.com plz help - sent an email last week about moving to Canada to teach. Things are dire in the US (as you know) - Trump is withholding crucial ed funds. I’m a Canadian citizen and certified teacher who works with multilingual students. Is there hope for me in the great white north?

Please do not conflate tr*mp’s bombing of Iran with b*sh’s bombing of Iraq. While motivations may have been similar, it negates the absolute chaotic and unhinged decisions of tr*mp on the global stage

les mis should always be sung in front of oligarchs.

my mom was born in canada 🇨🇦 to mennonite refugees. she’s been a us citizen for ~20 years, and has never been into politics or liked trump. but his recent targeting of her homeland has her referring to him as “nutso”. which, in her canadian dialect, means “motherf**king lunatic”

a week into this absolute terrifying administration teachers are navigating constant, viable threats of ICE entry into schools, eliminating budgets, right wing anti science anti DEI curriculum, LGBTQ+ kids in fear for their safety (just to name a few), & my union sends this as the top headline:

my neighbors have a kid’s chalkboard easel w/ messages to the neighborhood. 70% of the time it’s related to weather or Seattle sports teams. Today it read, “don’t forget the orphan, the widow, the foreigner & the poor”. they gave me some homemade hot fudge & then we hugged and both cried a little.
