Secondary school teacher turning to BlueSky for quality journalism. My students deserve the facts, not sanitized garbage. We are in the midst of the worst Constitutional crisis since the Civil War, and people are just so apathetic.
Not this guy.

Perhaps the "Cruelty First" folks should split from the Christian faith. The movement should be called The Church of Sadism.
Conservatives are welcome to slander strangers and protest the sharing of resources and celebrate the suffering around them and assert their right not to give a damn about anyone but themselves—but we can’t allow them to pass the buck to God while they do.

Is it just me, or did Mike Dukakis look better in a tank?
"Bovino wants the community he is embedded in to see him not as a law enforcement officer but as an occupying military commander. He has not tried to establish a working relationship with the city; he has tried to dominate it."

Harrison Ford says Trump’s assault on climate policy ‘scares the shit out of me’
Indiana Jones star calls US president one history’s greatest criminals for attacks on science and boosting of fossil fuels
Harrison Ford has said that Donald Trump’s assault upon measures to address the climate crisis “scares the shit out of me” and makes the US president among the worst criminals in history.

[Trump] knows better, but he’s an instrument of the status quo and he’s making money, hand over fist, while the world goes to hell in a handbasket.” Continue reading...

SNAP is not the reason your taxes are high.
SNAP recipients don’t need to “just go get a job”.
Most of them work. The rest are disabled, elderly, children or caregivers.
People need & deserve assistance
Your taxes fund wars and tax cuts for the ultra rich
Be mad about that

So you should really watch this. Just 2 minutes. But a window into the truly radical nature of the people Trump is nominating.
When pressed today, the nominee to be Ambassador to South Africa refuses to oppose reinstituting laws to prevent black people from voting in America.
