Reformed actor, now a 17 year veteran public school teacher in NYC. What happened to truth, justice, and kindness? Trying to stay sane while wading through the insanity…

The Constitution is not self-enforcing.
The only thing holding our Republic together are our norms.
And the only thing that enforces those norms is The People.
No one is coming to save us.
It's entirely up to us.

US only makes deals with CHILD sex traffickers, not ones who catch fake charges because this administration got in trouble for sending him somewhere he didn't belong.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been taken back into ICE custody and could possibly be facing exile to Uganda or Sudan.

The LAPD lived up to its atrocious press freedom record by beating, detaining, and jailing journalists covering a protest last week.
Journalists must cover these First Amendment violations, and the public must speak out against them.

The LAPD attacked reporters, despite a court order. Then it lied about it
Reporting on the force’s press freedom violations requires more than uncritically repeating the LAPD’s statements

Illinois stands up for the hard-won advances made for workers.
The Pullman Strikes. The Haymarket Affair. It has been the people of this state who have led the charge for progress, not just for Illinois, but for the nation.
We are ready to do it again — whatever it takes.

Don't let Republicans tell you that Trump's big beautiful bill won't hurt you. Hospitals are already warning that closures are coming.
But Jeff Bezos will get a tax handout to buy another yacht.

For all the people saying that immigrants should come in the “right way”, look at this. This is what’s happening to people doing it the right way.
You know what they call someone who tells you to do something and then punishes you for doing it?
An abuser. This government is one big batterer.
