@Najmom @heymrsbond If she's assigned to test, then she can't do that. I worked on her campus for 10 years. She will most likely have a testing assignment. It's an awesome suggestion but not practical given the circumstances.
@heymrsbond I was diagnosed with T2 diabetes in September 2024 and needed appointments directly related to that. I also had appointments for other health issues that my T2 can affect and vice versa.
@heymrsbond I had to take days off for medical appointments and because I caught Covid and Type A Flu. My district is not renewing my contract. I'm resigning to avoid termination.
The White House rescinds yet another decision; this time, the funding freeze.
I would caution you not to get overly excited about each issue they rescind. We are being conditioned like lab rats; Intense fear immediately followed by deep relief. How many times now in less tha 10 days?
Dear Ma & Pa MAGA,
I have a question for you, one I very much doubt you’ll answer even if you do manage to read this post all the way through. And yes, I understand that facts are about as useful to you as a cousin-less dating pool and a case of woke beer you can’t shoot, but for now at least, they are still facts, regardless of how you feel about them.
So, here goes… what I want to know is this - what has Donald Trump done since he returned to office that has benefitted you or your life in some tangible, measurable way? How has he made your life better?
Did pardoning or releasing the most violent January 6th insurrectionists make you safer in your home? Did shutting down the Office of Gun Violence Prevention make your kids safer at school?
What about the freeze on cancer research? Halting the operations and external communications from federal agencies like the FDA & CDC? Did you get a job you otherwise would not have gotten thanks to the dismantling of DEI?
Did ending protection from discrimination at work make your daughter’s professional path easier? Did stopping the aid we were sending to Ukraine and Taiwan put more food on your plate?
Did raising prices on your prescriptions make it easier for you to manage whatever medical condition you have which requires treatment? Does shutting FEMA down make you worry less because you live in a state recently ravaged by hurricanes or wildfires? Do you sleep better at night knowing that ICE is raiding offices and citrus groves in some blue state nowhere near you?
Because here’s the thing — eggs are now more expensive than they were a few weeks ago and in short supply due the Bird Flu we can’t get any official government health or food safety information about, gas and groceries are more expensive, school shootings are still happening, you’re still not going to get a job you were never qualified for, your daughter can now get fired for being a woman, the hurricanes the government won’t help you with aren’t going to stop coming, the immigrants who picked your citrus fruit aren’t showing up for work, the crime rate which was already lowering hasn’t decreased in the least and isn’t going to, and the bridge repair project your town has been counting on, is indefinitely on hold.
“Re-taking” the Panama Canal isn’t going to change any of those facts, neither is “annexing” Canada or “taking” Greenland.
Your taxes aren’t going down, prices are going up, your towns are no safer, you aren’t suddenly more qualified at your job, your daughter can be discriminated against, you don’t know and won’t know if there’s a public health emergency or if your food is safe, your roads aren’t getting repaired, your produce isn’t getting picked, and your government won’t be coming to help you in the middle of a natural disaster.
So, what have you gained? What will you get? Nothing he has done has improved your life. None of it is designed to. Is this what you voted for?
Is it enough that he hates the people you hate? Is that all you think you need?
Because from where I’m sitting, given the fact that he’s actually made your lives a heck of a lot harder, it sure as shit does look that way.
OK, here we go.
God, the Bible & Jesus never condemn abortion, nor command any penalty for ending a pregnancy.
Christ's religion of Judaism doesn't consider a fetus to be ensouled until its first breath.
Exodus 21 really does say that a fetus is a man's property. If 2 fighting men strike a pregnant woman & the fetus "goes out of her" they pay the husband a fine. If the woman dies, they pay with their life.
That's the Bible saying that a woman's life has more value in God's eye than a fetus.
This is why abortions are legal and free in Israel right now. But MAGA Christianity will never direct any of their hatred and scorn towards our Israeli friends, however; because they are in a cult that does not allow this.
Their hatred must be directed towards their fellow Americans who think women should control their own bodies.
*The Bible never commands men to force women to be pregnant against their will.
*It never says governments should force rape victims to stay pregnant.
*It never commands us to punish poor pregnant mothers with greater poverty.
*Jesus says in Matthew 25 that we'll be judged by how we cared for the poor, the sick, the prisoner and the immigrant. That's it. Not by how we scream at women outside clinics.
Christ opposes the death penalty, but never mentions abortion - and abortion existed in His day.
40 years of Jerry Falwell bullshit has reprogrammed American Christians to replace everything Jesus talked about with something He never mentioned.
MAGA Christianity fights for things they've been groomed to believe Jesus taught. But MAGA Christianity rejects, votes against, and wags their junk at the actual commandments of Jesus.
It's a blaspheming, anti-Jesus, authoritarian movement. And hate won't beat hate. It's going to take us asking our MAGA Christian friends which words of Jesus guided their vote for this agenda.
Ask them to please cite one actual commandment of Jesus that Trump or MAGA fights for.
Chapter & verse, please. Something Jesus said that the GOP fights for legislatively. Just one.
You'll quickly see how little they know abut what Jesus taught and commanded.
Thank you & peace.
