Donald Trump just did something truly awful and is hoping you won't notice.
He fired all of the special education staff at the Department of Education.

Another book update (think I’ve skipped 1 or 2). Currently reading Strongmen: Mussolini to Present by Ruth Ben-Ghiat, Neuroqueer Heresies by Nick Walker, and Rubyfruit Jungle by Rita Mae Brown. Last 2 borrowed on Libby. Eclectic? Definitely but that’s my typical reading style.

I had one encounter with ICE, almost 20 yrs ago, when I was a teacher in NYC. Banged on my apartment door at 6am as I was getting ready for school, pushed their way into my apartment. Six of them, just me. 20 minutes of ?s. Said they were police. Scared the shit out of me, intrusive AF #abolishICE
