Quick introductory post: I teach English as a Second and Third language and Ethics to high schoolers in Germany. I also support students with Special Educational Needs and am a passionate advocate for accommodations for those who need them. I've been teaching for >20 years and still love it. #edusky
You don't have to watch the video. I did and it was awful. This account is accurate. Don't look away. Do believe your eyes and your ears.
You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

Thanks, Bavaria, for demonstrating to my cousins why I moved here "for a couple of years" almost twelve years ago.

My Dad always used to donate blood, and received two corneas from organ donors in his lifetime. I have always been quite terrified of needles so didn't donate blood until after he passed away. I'm going to try and do it more often so if anyone in Munich ever wants a blood donor buddy, I'm game!

One of the most popular and crowd-pleasing arias in classical opera, "Perché non c'è cibo nella mia ciotola, donna?" tells an emotional tale of a desperately malnourished waif and translates into English as "Why Is There No Food In My Bowl, Woman?"

M made an appointment at the orthodontist after her checkup today, not realising that the date was during her school trip. I called them to change it... And got their AI assistant. I asked to speak to a person but it persisted. It even made little typing noises while it was "checking the calendar".

Year 10: dystopia and The Hunger Games.
Year 11: Bog Child and the Troubles.
Ethics classes: propaganda and manipulation in politics and the media.
It's all blurring together a bit too much for comfort.

Oh my god. M realised - far too late - that she left her iPad charging in her maths classroom. I emailed security and copied in her maths teacher. He saw it and called me straight away - he had locked it in his cupboard and will be in early tomorrow morning 😮💨 M has baked him some biscuits.

A student in my Baccalaureate ethics class commented on Monday, "ICE is behaving like the SS." He's German, well-educated in this country's history. He sees it.
How is this not inciting violence?
Why must they remind ICE that they have immunity?
One of their agents just shot a killed a woman in broad daylight and they’re effectively telling them to go ahead and do whatever they want because they’re above the law.
Be safe Minneapolis.
