Today is the day for Governors of blue states, who actually fund the federal government, to get together and come up with a plan to withhold all funds from the federal government and to deprive red states who take the money from the ability to do do.
The deadly shooting in Minneapolis today was a straight-up execution of a protester by Trump's federal brownshirts.
The thugs wrestled him to the ground. They pistol-whipped him, then shot him multiple times. They murdered him.
The videos don't lie. A man is dead, killed in cold blood. There is no conceivable justification for this intentional homicide. And make no mistake, that intentional, unjustified homicide was committed on behalf of Donald J. Trump.
Trump's militarization of Minneapolis and other parts of our nation isn't about illegal immigration. It's not about enhancing public safety. It's about destroying any sense of that safety—to intimidate political opponents, and to punish dissent. It's about a corrupt, out-of-control regime's effort to provoke citizens in order to justify the violence it desires to commit against them so that it can expand and retain its power.
That is fascism. It is tyranny. It is governmental criminality.
And the ultimate legal check the Framers of our Constitution provided to stop this kind of tyranny and criminality in the executive branch is impeachment and removal of the executive.
Congress needs to do its job.
Now.
Before it's too late.

It would be very much appreciated if you could post something supportive of me for this nomination. Thank you!
Hot Take: What if we as educators stop taking it upon ourselves to make students into “good humans” (in our eyes) and instead focus on making them academically smart humans leaving the moral education to their parents (for better or for worse)?
Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat.

My amendment is simple: If Elon Musk leaves government by May 30th, like he’s supposed to, then he followed the law.
But if Musk refuses to leave, we cancel his contracts and save our government $3 billion a year.
Teacher Appreciation is when admin realize their school is full of competent, dedicated professionals. They don’t need micromanagement — they need support, encouragement, and the space to be amazing!
At the first school I worked for, teachers took a trip as art of our PD to tour local businesses and talk to the owners about what they need from their future workers.
I’ll never forget it because, to a one, they stated they wanted workers with habits that we, as the school, habitually impeded the formation of.
Schools love to say they’re preparing students for the real world. But then they build a system where deadlines are suggestions, effort is optional, and consequences are negotiable.
