After spending an entire year, warning Americans about project 2025 & you elect this man anyways reminds me of “Don’t look up.” We’re cooked

One day we are going to talk about the conflation of someone having blue-collar job with poor.

Damn right. Also? Not one of us needs a cookie or praise for behaving like a decent human being or knocking some doors. I mean... good for you, honey, but demanding hosannas for doing the work that Black people have been doing for decades is peak white fragility.

I don't have to say "not all white people" because the white people who voted for Vice President Kamala Harris know exactly who I'm speaking about.

Just FYI, you can be a good teacher and still fantasize about a long lost relative leaving you enough money that you would drop the semester like it's hot and go anywhere but school.

We must not delude ourselves in this moment. Multiracial democracy in the United States is less than 60 years old. It has always been contested, often violently so. It has always been fragile. Since this nation's inception large swaths of white Americans -- including white women -- have claimed a belief in democracy while actually enforcing a white ethnocracy. In the face of shifting demographics where white Americans will lose their numeric majority, we see a growing embrace of autocracy to keep the "legitimate" rulers of this country in power. History teaches us that we are in a perilous moment.

America took a character test Tuesday. We failed.
We elected a felon, a career con artist, and voted in some senators similarly lacking in character.
Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you have done to our country.

The sun rose where I am. I spent the night not sleeping in my hotel room. It was dark and slow and lonely.
I had thought if it happened it wouldn’t be as hard as last time. Because it would be less of a shock. But it was harder, actually, and for the same reason. No one went into this naively. This was chosen.
But now my people are checking in with me, and vice versa. The sun is up. I already feel less alone.
This is me checking in with you: you’re not alone and you’re NOT wrong. This is going to feel bad. It’s going to BE bad. But the sun rose. You deserve its warmth, every day, and we are already closer to a future in which this will be the fucked up past.
Take care of one another and yourself. See you tonight if that’s helpful to you.

Pennsylvania is the birthplace of our democracy — and we recognize the value of our fundamental freedom to vote and our voices heard here in the Commonwealth.
Tomorrow, get out and vote.

When will there be enough women Presidents?
When there are 46.
There have been 46 men & nobody’s ever raised a question about that.

Hey Academia,
Just a friendly reminder that showing compassion is not a sign of weakness
Thank you for coming to my Ted talk

Gov. Tim Walz counters former President Barack Obama's "don't boo, vote" slogan:
"Well hell, I'm just petty enough. Boo and then vote ... We can do both! We can multitask."

A good rule of thumb when evaluating a person or group is to ask yourself “will they encourage or seek to limit my access to reading?” Anyone who tries to restrict what you read—and this happens more often than you would imagine—is dangerous and should be avoided.

If you have friends who are social studies teachers, buy them a coffee. Or a Xanax. A tasteful LEGO set. It's going to be a helluva week. 🙏 – at Taylorsville, UT
