Yesterday my hometown was hit with massive tornadoes. We weren't expecting them in places that have never been hit before and have no idea who will help us. FEMA is all but dead and our state is run by Republicans that hate the city. This is the canary in the coal mine. My latest.
A tornado tells a bigger story
My town was struck by historic tornadoes yesterday and a storm is coming for you too.

We collected well over 180,000 signatures to put it on the ballot. It passed by 57%. These assholes don’t care about us.
STOP VOTING FOR THEM.

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

Republicans just passed a budget that guts Medicaid, SNAP, veterans’ benefits, and free school lunches.
They swore they'd fix the economy—but this sure as hell ain’t it.

The U.S is the wealthiest country in the history of the world. We should not have the highest rate of child poverty of nearly every major country on earth. We should have the lowest.
It's time to end this international embarrassment & create an economy that works for all.

So, if they're defunding USAID, VOA, VA, Medicaid, libraries, museums, public education, FEMA. Screwing with ACA, PBS, FDIC, SS, and Medicare or whatever else is on their shortlist. What are we paying taxes for? It's not like they're doing anything to help us, just taking stuff away.

America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster. We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here.

Several red state AGs including mine are suing to dismantle 504s in schools.
Please, call your reps and AGs to demand they let all children learn in public schools. The end goal is to delete all special education services. All accommodations.

Missouri’s current AG, Andrew Bailey, is the worst in recent memory and that’s saying a lot because Josh Hawley was also a Missouri AG…

Diversity is a fact: All kinds of people exist.
Equity is a goal: All kinds of people deserve a chance at success.
Inclusion is how we get to equity. By including them, they can achieve success.
It's that simple.

What makes me sad is that most people really don't know how many fantastic things Harris proposed that actually had real solutions for real problems, but the media never reported it.
It wasn't "poor messaging." She was messaging it several times a day every fucking day. The media ignore it.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

As a retired 40 years middle school teacher, I totally agree!
I taught middle school kids for years…they struggle with impulsivity and regulating their emotions. The prefrontal cortex, is the last part of the brain to mature.
Every time I have an interaction with an adult Trumper, I’m reminded of those kids. Trumpers often struggle with underformed brains…
