My life’s calling exacerbates my anxiety/depression as I’m still teaching in a pandemic, worried about being shot, helping students with mental health, supporting parents, losing valuable planning time to do other tasks, and testing the crap outta my students for no reason.
If the borders were OPEN (like they were in the early half of the 1900s), this wouldn’t happen. I don’t support an “open” border, but we have to figure out a.) why people are willing to undertake such horrific conditions to migrate illegally, b.) whether or not we can… (1/2)
"At Least 42 People Found Dead Inside Truck Carrying Migrants In Texas. These deaths are on Biden. They are a result of his deadly open border policies. They show the deadly consequences of his refusal to enforce the law." - GOV. GREG ABBOTT

This isn’t freedom.
This isn’t happening in any other high income country.
No other nation would tolerate this.
We don’t have to either.

Gotta abolish the electoral college. It’s a major reason we’re in this situation where the majority of Americans struggle to be represented and we’re limited in our options. It would change the electoral landscape entirely, allowing a more democratic system & process.
Today I had the honor to escorting my 104.5 year-old friend Ruth to vote.
She was born before women had the right to vote.
Her 1st vote was for FDR.
Her dad died of the flu during the pandemic of 1918, when she was 2.
This is her voting story today.
I waited almost four hours to #voteearlyinga in #fultoncoga on the first day. I think the long lines = holiday, unemployed, voters motivated by 45s voter insecurity speculation. Fewer polls open during early voting is normal, but how to proceed with covid? Pack in more machines?
Trump postulating whether or not he’s immune hints at him having super-human health/strength. We see this with dictators building their #cultofpersonality#potusponderings
Watching DT’s video, I watched a man say “Don’t let it dominate you. Don’t let it beat you” as if MAYBE he’s talking to a single person w/ covid. And then he says, “Don’t let it ruin your lives.” Seriously? Words matter, sir. You are about to cause a huge rise in cases pre-winter
What is going on right now? The WH, which has a deep credibility issue w/ many, needs to clarify when the president got sick, whether he was ever on oxygen at any time, whether he is on a clear path to a full recovery, and whether he was traveling and holding rallies while ill?
