special education teacher • changing perspectives through kindness inclusion and empowerment

[Read Jackson Rising @JPHilllllll]

To ask teachers to be on the front line of mass shootings, the front line of a pandemic, and the front line of the struggle against inequality all while underpaying them and systematically underfunding the education system is both cruel and a recipe for societal collapse.

Women should not have to go back to work days after giving birth. We must end the international embarrassment of being the only major country on Earth not to guarantee paid leave for workers.

With our budget reconciliation legislation, that's exactly what we're going to do.

[Brian Tyler Cohen @briantylercohen]

Holy shit. @TimRyan isn't messing around.

Superb article by #autistic reporter ⁦⁦@EricMGarcia⁩ on how the QAnon Shaman’s lawyer’s vile “defense” of his client reinforces myths and misconceptions about #autism. https://t.co/ahEwBSOaRw

Studies have shown that people with intellectual and developmental disabilities have a higher likelihood of dying from the virus than those without disabilities—so why are they being overlooked in federal COVID-19 tracking? https://t.co/IiOmoOnlA4

I know more about Tiger Woods’ accident than where to find a vaccine for my parents.

.@tedcruz - a Senator from our 2nd largest state, during the height of a pandemic killing 4,000+ Americans every day, weeks after he encouraged an attack on our gov’t that killed 5 people, and he’s spending all his time tweeting insults at an actor while his constituents die.

[Sam Sanders @samsanders]

One of the worst outcomes of this political moment is that it’s led a lot of us to mistake decency for bravery.

[Louis Virtel @louisvirtel]

I’m looking forward to living a single day we won’t be reading about for years.

To anyone complaining about a private media company kicking Trump off their platform:

Think of Twitter as a Christian bakery and Trump as a gay wedding cake.

#BanTrumpFromTwitter

[Sarah Cooper @sarahcpr]

I like the president's new tone! Silent!

[billy eichner @billyeichner]

Don’t just ban him from Twitter, FORCE him to join Bumble

My tenant who rents my guest house told his friends to break into my house. They broke a bunch of shit but thankfully weren't successful in occupying it, and I got out in time. His lease is up on January 20th anyway, so should I let him finish up his lease or kick him out now?

[Beth Huang 🌹 @bphuang12]

I want Trump to be removed so that every 5th grader who asks “why was Mike Pence President for 2 days” hears a story about why white supremacy & fascism are threats to democracy. Millions of students in the next decades will ask this question and will know to reject fascism.

[George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d]

Anyone who thinks @realDonaldTrump is chastened by what happened yesterday misunderstands the mind of a narcissistic psychopath. Driven by narcissistic rage, unrestrained by conscience, compelled by sadistic impulse, he may lash out at any time in increasingly destructive ways.

[Chris Lu @ChrisLu44]

In case you missed the last four years: Teleprompter Trump isn’t the real Trump.

Give it a few hours and he’ll disavow everything he was just forced to say.

[Jennifer Palmieri @jmpalmieri]

It has not escaped my attention that the day social media companies decided there actually IS more they could do to police Trump’s destructive behavior was the same day they learned Democrats would chair all the congressional committees that oversee them.

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

The quickest and most effective way—it can be done today—to remove this president from office would be for the Vice President to immediately invoke the 25th amendment.

If the Vice President and the Cabinet refuse to stand up, Congress must reconvene to impeach President Trump.
