Every ALICE drill my kids have to do in school embarrasses me every single time.
"Every lockdown drill is a confession of failure. Every barricaded classroom is an indictment. Every child taught to hide is proof that the adults in charge have surrendered."
What Are We Doing to Our Children?
We taught kids to read, write, and dream; then trained them to hide, barricade, and bleed quietly while adults chose guns, cowardice, and silence over their future.

Rob Reiner was a good guy. He made a lot of movies about good guys, in worlds where not everyone was good and you didn’t have to be good. He made movies about people trying. He was angry, as many hopeful people are. He knew the world could be better and he wanted it to be. His death is devastating.

We could see this coming, but the fact this administration put it in writing as official policy is mind-blowing. In a single document release, the US has surrendered the last 80 years of global power and now endangers everyone to global chaos and war.

On this Thanksgiving, let us remember that it wasn't based on the Pilgrims hanging with the Wampanoag eating turkey and pie (which never happened). But based on the sacrifices in the Civil War and the successes of the Union armies to save the US from the treasonous Confederacy.
