The disappearance of America’s leadership class at a time like this means that the rest of us have to be leaders. We can no longer wait to be led by those with the power and authority to lead. You must lead, I must lead, all of us must lead. We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.

🧵A few weeks ago I broke a story about how the VA is arbitrarily capping the number of PTSD-treatment appointments that veterans can have, regardless of symptoms, regardless of doctors’ opinions on need for continued care... open.substack.com/pub/onoffens...
They Saved My Life. Now They Need Saving.
Veterans are being cut off from care. Whistleblowers at the VA that saved my life are sounding the alarm. This June 6, we’re fighting back.

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.
Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Thank you for everything, school librarians & library workers!
At a loss for words thinking of how you somehow find a way to continue doing your unnecessarily stressful jobs. I have to think your library kids are a big part of why.
Whatever the reason… thank you. We love you, we support you 💛
