If they arm teachers, trust me that training will be a website where you click through minilessons & get a little certificate after like 25 minutes, & we will be forced to do it in a staff meeting after school when weโre already tired, & the DOE will say we were all fully trained
@atrupar Iโve been hanging out in DC for years bc my sister lives there. In all those years, I have wandered around alone, even at night, without fear. WTAF is this guy talking about?? The most UNSAFE I ever felt was this summer, seeing heavily armed military members at the waterfront.
I am so proud of my friend Mikey Baratz for this measured, kind, empathetic interview he gave about his friend, the detainee and Columbia student Mohsen Mahdawi.
This quote Omar Jimenez highlights is my favorite thing Mikey said.
"The ability to hear things that are uncomfortable or painful or just make us feel bad is important. And that's a foundation of our democracy today and Mohsen embodied that," says Mikey Baratz, a friend of Mohsen Mahdawi who was a prominent organizer of pro-Palestinian protests at Columbia University.
This quote has been breaking my heart since yesterday. Itโs like heโs been waiting for this to happen, like itโs to be expected someday. And honestly, I get it. #Appalachee ๐
@megynkelly It is WILD that youโd make this comment after Trumpโs horrifically misogynist ad hominem โblood coming out her whereverโ comment about you. It makes me sad for you.
@aySchleg@whalenonfools@awfulannouncing He was a guest speaker at a graduation. He wasnโt graduating. Of course it was recorded. Get facts straight, Andy honey.
@eldenmirz@beehiiv Hi! I can't DM bc of some Musk nonsense, but here are my two websites! (One is more ad-centered, the other general writing.) https://t.co/M3U9yHfpZy https://t.co/8jjk7T6dW4
@PayAlleria@ask_aubry Half yes - the men who want to control her or own her sexually are portrayed as the kind of trash the guy in this post is. As she gains independence & maturity, they canโt stand it. The man she chooses is the one who tells her she belongs to no one but herself & means it.
The children who died eleven years ago at #SandyHook would be seniors now. Their teachers would still be teaching, or theyโd be happily retired. ๐
