My class studies a song or poem every Monday. I plan to share this one with them when we return from our break. Kelly Hayes, coauthor of Let This Radicalize You, just posted her blog with many ideas, if that’s something you’re interested in. organizingmythoughts.org/must-reads-a...
Thx for sharing.
More than anything, I am thinking about the future and about how our commitments to one another will be essential to our survival. As a Native person, I know that while our communities are beautiful and full of vital knowledge, our liberation cannot be achieved in isolation. This is true for all of our communities, Native and non-Native. We need each other. We will sometimes disappoint each other, as we have in the past, but we must move forward together. There is no other path.

Happy fall break to all educators, and to anyone to just needs a break from the news, from the world, from #atmosphericrivers and #bombcyclones, and from teaching kids during these weather patterns…

Getting ready for my book group tonight. Octavia Butler was a visionary and frightening accurate. We didn’t want to believe her.
President William Turner Smith lost yesterday's election. Christopher Charles Morpeth Donner is our new President- -President-elect. So what are we in for? Donner has already said that as soon as possible alter his inauguration next year, he'll begin to disman-de the "wasteful, pointless, unnecessary" moon and Mars pro-grams. Near space programs dealing with communications and experimentation will be privatized-sold off. Also, Donner has a plan for putting people back to work. He hopes to get laws changed, suspend "overly restrictive" minimum wage, environmental, and worker protection laws for those employers willing to take on homeless employees and provide them with training and adequate room and board. What's adequate, I wonder: A house or apartment? A room? A bed in a shared room? A barracks bed? Space on a floor? Space on the ground? And what about people with big families? Won't they be seen as bad investments? Won't it make much more sense for companies to hire single people, childless couples, or, at most, people with only one or two kids? I wonder, And what about those suspended laws? Will it be legal to poi-son, mutilate, or infect people- as long as you provide them with food, water, and space to die?
