If it were legal to fire you, they wouldn't put so much effort into getting you to resign voluntarily.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Dear Democratic orgs and politicians, enough is enough! I’m not sending you another $20. Especially if you’re not publicly talking about how to fix our problems as a party. Money won’t save us. Real talk—SPEAK OUT. We’ve been patient, but your silence is exhausting. No action, no donations!

Deportation flights never stopped. The Biden Admin deported about 1 million people per year. Republicans never talked about that because it didn’t fit their narrative, and Democrats never talked about it because they feared it would anger part of their base. So ignorance ruled.

Billionaires own everything, even reality itself.
For example, a hospital is understaffed, the nurses overworked. A patient’s family member doesn’t get seen for over two hours. Who is to blame? The nurses? The family…for getting mad? No.
Greed is to blame.

Being mad about corporate greed doesn’t mean you’re an extremist terrorist.

I need someone to explain to me why it’s always “if you can’t pay rent, buy fewer lattes and avocado toasts” and not “if you can’t pay your employees a living wage, buy fewer yachts and real estate”.
Explain it to me like I’m in kindergarten.

"ABC News has opened the floodgates for a newly-emboldened Trump to wage war against everyone in the media he doesn’t like. They have made the entire media ecosystem less safe, and ushered us one step closer to the very brand of illiberal democracy that Trump has threatened for so long."

Writing is thinking.
It’s not a part of the process that can be skipped; it’s the entire point.

This is what's so baffling about so many suggestions for AI in the humanities classroom: they mistake the product for the point. Writing outlines and essays is important not because you need to make outlines and essays but because that's how you learn to think with/through complex ideas.
I'm sure many have said this before but I'm reading a student-facing document about how students might use AI in the classroom (if allowed) and one of the recs is: use AI to make an outline of your reading! But ISN'T MAKING THE OUTLINE how one actually learns?

One thing I have actually learned from covering Trump the last 4 years is how to blame every problem in America and the world on the American president. I fully intend to apply what I learned over the next 4 years.
