“When educators from public schools go on strike, it's a teaching opportunity. Showing students how to stand up for themselves. It’s a vision of justice.”

Fairfield took more than a year to investigate a former Vallejo officer in its ranks for badge bending — and only began after he retired. New from me for @OpenVallejo:

Leave The Kurds Alone,

BREAKING:

Kurdish separatist groups publicly say they will not participate in an invasion of Iran, say there is no ground incursion as of now.

[CNN International @cnni]

Everyone is watching to see whether Kurdish fighters will launch a ground offensive into western Iran.

So, who are the Kurds?

Amazing how everyone and their grandmothers earned a PhD in Kurdish history overnight🤡

Over the last 75 years, the Kurds have been armed — then sold out — by the US on 𝙚𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙨𝙚𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙤𝙘𝙘𝙖𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨.

But hey, maybe the 9th time’s the charm.

On the occasion of International Mother Language Day, we extend our warmest greetings first and foremost to the Kurdish people, and to all peoples around the world.

In this process, one of our fundamental demands remains the official recognition of the Kurdish language in Syria and the constitutional guarantee of the right to education in one’s mother tongue.

We will continue our struggle with full determination to secure legitimate linguistic rights and to protect the achievements of our people’s language and education.

Don’t betray Syria’s heroic Kurds. They share Western values and were instrumental in the defeat of the Islamic State caliphate, writes @BHL

The Kurds have been one of America’s most steadfast and valuable allies in the fight against ISIS in Iraq and Syria. We must not abandon them.

The Kurds deserve their own state. I’ve served with them in Iraq. They were our friends and helped many of our servicemen and women survive.

Ladies and gentlemen, it is an incredible honor to share that I have won my race for Bellevue City Council with 53% of the vote. For the first time in our nation's history, a Kurdish American has been elected to public office, and Bellevue made it happen.

Many questioned whether this campaign's success was within the bounds of possibility. The odds, by any measure, were formidable. Yet I have observed that fortune seldom abandons those who possess the resolution to act upon their convictions.

Our victory was a narrow, but healthy margin rather than an overwhelming mandate. This does not serve as discouragement, but rather as incitement, as is usual, to attempt something more full and satisfactory. I am now bound by a sacred obligation: to earn the confidence of those who withheld their support, and to justify the faith reposed in me by those who granted it.

I am in deep gratitude for the honor you have entrusted to me, and will dedicate the remainder of my days in your service.

[Scharo Bajalan @ScharoBajalan]

The Syrian Government under Jolani has stopped all Kurdish lessons in Afrin.
Teaching Kurdish in a region that was once +95% Kurdish has now become illegal.

This comes days after Jolani has stated that the Kurdish people will be guaranteed equal rights in Syria.

Marc Benioff exposed himself as craven and hollow.

He's not alone.
