I desperately hope this sentiment is shared by many across our country.
I’ll leave this here…from 3 days ago: Teacher asks ICE to raid his school, says many students ‘don’t even speak English’
there are many more fully resisting each purge attempt. shits getting dark af right now, but dispair despair cannot be an option.
get out and find community. I did a thing two days ago. stopped by one of the only houses in my neighborhood that openly opposed the trump collective before the election. let them know I (and my fam) were here if they needed anything. we shared ideas and history. face to face. in realtime. and we will be checking up on each other moving forward.

Good educators are a rare and dying breed. Unfortunately probably a lot who either openly or secretly harbour similar feelings.
The good ones usually quit before they get tenure. They don’t get paid nearly enough for all the shit they put up with.
yeah, I know all customer facing jobs have big cons, and working fast food isn’t easy by any means, but I see McDonald’s hiring ads and sometimes I wonder, 25% raise and far less likely to get bit? almost tempting. I would probably still have to talk to people as if they are children.
