Hey all. I’ve been quiet for a long time. Find me on LinkedIn for any professional needs, personal check IG - it’s a similar name. I might hit up BS. And honestly you can dm me for contact info.
I’m sad to leave but it’s downward after tomorrow’s update in ToS. It will be soon.

“Teachers need to either stop complaining or quit!”
𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗡𝗢𝗪
Teachers have left the profession at record rates. America is currently short 320,000 teachers….and it’s only getting worse.
NOW WHAT?

Happy Public Schools Week!
As a former teacher, I know that public schools are not just where our kids go to learn - they’re the center of our communities.
That’s why I was proud to make the largest investment in public schools in state history.

“I didn’t even learn the basics of classroom management in my teacher prep program. I couldn’t begin to meet the needs of my students or advocate for myself coming out of my teacher prep course. We had way more emphasis on social emotional learning and ideology than we did on student academic achievement or classroom management.” — Virginia Public School Special Education Teacher

There is no such fucking thing as being “too woman” to pilot a helicopter, “too gay” to land a plane or “too black” to be an air traffic controller.
There is however, such a thing as being too hateful, too stupid & too sociopathic to be president.
And we call that Donald Trump.

Black history is American history.
Our music, art, sports, literature, leadership, resistance, and resilience are fundamental to the fabric of our nation and the progress that we fight for.
This month and every month, we celebrate Black history, and we continue our fight for justice and equality for every American.

The Pentagon has informed its resident press corps that NBC, NYT, NPR, and Politico will “rotate out of the building” to give space to New York Post, Breitbart, OANN, and HuffPost.
NBC, who has an entire booth w/ cameras etc.

To be clear, you're calling for a New Jersey-born bishop to be deported because you don't like that she exercised her First Amendment right by delivering a sermon in accordance with her faith imploring Trump to show empathy to people?
21 Jan 2025
The person giving this sermon should be added to the deportation list.

Throughout his life as a civil rights leader, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was committed to ensuring equal opportunity, especially in education.
Today, we celebrate his life and the countless lives his work has impacted over generations.

As I said today, let’s remember where the power in that Capitol rotunda comes from: the people. The construction workers, teachers, health care workers, and the firefighters in LA. Our democracy must match their grit and determination.

I’m grateful for your life.
I’m honored by your legacy.
I’m growing in your teachings.
May our commemoration move beyond quoting you (often in ways that are intentionally misaligned with your principles and steps of nonviolence) to hopeful, strategic, mass nonviolent action.
Thank you, Daddy.

ICYMI: Minnesota was just ranked the second-best state to raise a family.
Investments in education, tax cuts for the middle-class, paid leave, and public safety have made Minnesota an example — and I won't stop fighting until we're number one.
