As a novice pandemic podcaster I am so grateful for @BisforBerkshire and @MimiArnoldLyon willingness to be interviewed. As a Grad student I learned a lot and I know you will also by listening to the Episode wherever you find podcasts.

When accumulation of capital becomes a metric for morality and "proper" ethic you know you are living in a capitalist hellscape.

Yes on 1 says "Right-to-Work" creates economic opportunity, but that opportunity only extends to corporate executives, not the working class who built America. #NoOn1 #1u

@parkerschramme @heymrsbond Token economy: paying children for aligning with made up constructs and withholding pay from children who don't.

We then have the nerve to tell them to go be world changers.

[Blake Barber @bluffcity_teach]

I cannot tell you how healing it has been to have a child so keenly express emotion and me parent in away that doesn't try to "correct" the feelings expressed.

If you have time respond to this survey. The search must be national. The last superintendent lacked transparency in MSCS finances and was unable to establish research aligned reading practices in K-8.

Sold a house out from under the owner for 5 grand in back taxes. This shit is gross. Housing is an international right. Get your taxes from the business you have given tax breaks to.

[Blake Barber @bluffcity_teach]

Is anyone reporting on how @MLGW cannot be reached. We are still getting bills for a house we canceled utilities to over two months ago. We call and are hung up on. Offices are closed. The website does not work.

[Blake Barber @bluffcity_teach]

1. Policy matters: years of political tension and compromise has decreased the number of children living in poverty.
2. I will never understand why someone would be opposed to such social safety nets.
3. I do not care if some people abuse such policies.

Homes are not and should not be anyones investment. A home is someone's sense of place, a means of security, an international right.

[Steve Mulroy @SteveMulroy901]

No A/C. No heat. No running water. Bedbugs. Constant fear of criminal assault due to lack of security. These are just some of the conditions tenants face due to out-of-state corporate absentee slumlords. The DA's office could do so much more to make low-income tenants safe.

Without literacy there is no dissonance and without dissonance there is no change.

[Blake Barber @bluffcity_teach]

I am convinced that illiteracy is a major contributing factor to the collapse of our democracy. A large portion of society is unable to summarize, analyze, and then meaningful respond to content across multiple mediums.

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

KLEPPER shows Trump supporters clips of Trump’s own people (Barr, Ivanka, etc.) saying the election theft claims were “bullshit” — and the excuses they come up with are mind-numbing.

Michele Rhee tried this approach 10 years ago. Results weren't great. Massive change in personnel shouldn't be seen as an indicator of success, especially when you are well into your tenure.

@KeithMont The coal and oil industry isn't threatened by his limit on guns. His grandchildren 30 years from now need to be on his mind.
