When life’s a bitch, call one.

Teacher, Mayzie Coates never needed anyone, until a student’s suicide shakes her foundations. In her room. His 5 final words scrawled on her board. From her lessons.

All she has is Olivia, fiercely, aggressively in her corner. Stage 6 Does Not Exist #Holipit #A #Q

Yet another ICE impersonator caught. How many are they not catching?

As @MarshaBlackburn @SenJohnson & Sexton try to protect masked unidentified vigilantes with legislation— we should be banning this dangerous insanity instead.

It would be a real shame if this query filled up with how to correctly remember history:
National Park visitors opt not to flag signs with 'negative' information

MUST WATCH: Oceanside CA: Militarized DHS (HSI) smashed windows, assault rifles drawn, tossed flashbangs and sent drones into the apartment which had 2 kids inside. They then told neighbors they were going to use tear gas, and they’d probably be exposed. Please share widely. WTF

This isn’t policy. It’s cruelty plain and simple. And it’s happening on U.S. soil.

New pitch for #smallpitch:
Facing police questions after a student commits suicide in her classroom, a teacher finds herself with no answers, but her upbeat, irreverent fellow teacher fights to save her best friend from being consumed by guilt and grief.

This…
It's depressing. It's confusing. It's fraught. You don't like where the world is going. You don't like what's happening. What are we supposed to do? Especially when we are so powerless, as ordinary citizens, people who do not hold office, especially when we are matched against billionaires, against madness, against inertia, against so much. "Remind yourself that your task is to be a good human being," Marcus Aurelius writes in Meditations, in reaction, it must be said, against his own dysfunctional and cruel times. "Remind yourself what nature demands of people," he added. "Then do it, without hesitation, and speak the truth as you see it." We are not emperors. We are not senators. But we are human beings, connected to all other human beings. Our job is to do our job-to do it virtuously and honestly. Our job as citizens is to participate in politics—not to cede the field simply because it disappoints and disgusts us. Our job is to help the people we can help closest to us-those who have lost their jobs, those who have been targeted, those who do not have the advantages we have. And most of all, per the tradition of the Stoic Opposition (which as we discuss in Lives of the Stoics included hallowed figures like Cato and Helvidius and Thrasea and Rutilius Rufus), is to courageously speak the truth as we see it. To not go along with lies. To call things what they are. To condemn what deserves condemnation. To stand up for principles and programs that deserved defense. To say who we are, which is good, which is kind, which is very much not on board with any of this and that even if we can't stop it, we can say clearly and loudly that we do not accept it being done in our name.

Making the world better for others is what a society is— a place where we all agreed to give mutual aid and to expect mutual aid.

It’s not about making a dollar—it’s about making a difference.

FAFO:
The high cost of owning the libs means giving yourself away for free and selling your children’s education off to a corporation and giving your parent’s social insecurity, and selling oligarchs our national parks.
