“Kids are safer in schools” is the new “Kids don’t get Covid”

[Peter Kalmus @ClimateHuman]

Billionaires are more damaging to society than most people know. Billionaires are a social disease that must be cured and prevented with good policies

Kids remote learning during a polio outbreak in the 1940s. Teachers read lessons over the radio.

Fuck these politicians always trying to pass off a nothing like it’s a something

Now that the news is sinking in, I want to take a minute to talk about all the people who have been cruelly left behind. Those are the folks with high debt loads for whom $10k or $20k won't make a material difference to their total debt or their monthly payments. (1

I support every ounce of forgivenesss, cancellation, relief, all of it, irrespective of if I myself ever benefit from it. The system is a moral horror and an outrage and paired with the collapse of non-adjunct, TT teaching jobs a giant scam on the young. /end

Its all going really well in the UK at the moment

It’s wild to me that 15k nurses in Minnesota are about to go on strike protesting working conditions and there’s barely anyone talking about this!

I only discovered @MonteSyrie this morning. This tweet has my head spinning with ideas for application.

They say we're the reflection of the 5 people we spend the most time around. Well you spend the most time with yourself. Your self talk, thoughts, and attitude, Influence you more than anyone else.

An update on the potential teacher strike in Columbus, Ohio — today a federal mediator called both sides to the negotiation table. The union came with a counterproposal. The board’s lawyers came with nothing.

Less than 2 weeks until school starts and 9 schools still have no AC.

Today it's been revealed that the energy price cap is set to rise to £4,266 in January.

We’re not going to accept corporations making record profits from the misery of millions.

It’s time to build a campaign to fight back: https://t.co/1SeHcIXdMr

So,Rees Mogg is on news saying Scotland is a failed state.Well, I love living in a failed state with: free prescriptions, free personal care, free childcare, additional £25/week child payment to help families living with disastrous Tory economic policies, superior NHS, education.

Thread: As Democrats push for $10.5 billion for 100,000 more cops next week, I'm thinking about Cindy Rodriguez. She was a 51-year-old mother of two living with a physical disability. Police arrested for shoplifting from a grocery store. What happened to her next is important.

[Jean Su 蘇安君 @ajeansu]

Shameful that ppl are gaslighting @SenSanders for being the Senate's moral compass. He has been the sole voice to raise legit concerns about the fossil fuel giveaways & community harms in the IRA and sweetheart MVP deal. He's opened an honest conversation and is met w/shutdown.

[David Sirota @davidsirota]

Schumer can replace the parliamentarian or Senate Dems’ presiding officer can ignore the parliamentarian.

They’re not doing that because they are actually cool with the insulin provision being removed.

But nobody mentions this because it’s too impolite. https://t.co/bJj9cVpiGk

[Ken Klippenstein @kenklippenstein]

Insulin costs a few dollars to manufacture. Nothing short of a national humiliation that our government lets pharma price gouge huge numbers of people into debt for a medicine they need to live
