@democracydocket Wait, am I understanding this correctly? Ohio will not accept military ID as proof for voting? So much for Ohio's vaunted pro military stance. Ohio is apparently not worthy of being home to the extraordinary Air Force Museum or of Wright Patterson AFB. Whoops - goodbye 35,000 jobs!
This Axios article ... interesting to see how private thoughts about the purpose of #school are different from what we assume is important to the rest of society. What's missing here altogether, though, is preparing #students to serve as collaborative problem-solvers who value shared belonging. I'd argue that's at the root of the purpose of American public #education. If people aren't naming that in a survey, we have work to do. @edutooters @edutooter #edutoot https://www.axios.com/2023/01/17/american-education-parenting-k12-framework

Dear gods. This could result in Christofascism really being promoted in the US, as workers of other faiths find themselves out in the cold. https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/23559038/supreme-court-groff-dejoy-religion-twa-hardison-workplace

We are awaiting two SCOTUS decisions that will have major impacts on our democracy.
In Moore v. Harper, the Court could embrace a radical theory that may allow state legislatures to ignore their state constitutions when making laws for federal elections.

FL GOP Gov. "White is Right" Ron DeSantis: "AP African-American Studies Program, as Written, Violates Florida Law" - says the racist governor.
I believe this may be the most Blatent right-wing racist attack on education I've ever seen!
Racist Gov. George Wallace is dancing and drinking in his grave!
Peter Hotez says,
“People are saying this will be mild. It’s not mild. Do the math: With 400 or 500 deaths a day, that’s getting up to 150,000 to 200,000 a year, which is four- or five-times higher than the worst flu season.”
Masks are not a lockdown.
Nor is testing before events.
Or getting boosters.
Or improving ventilation & filtration.
None of those interventions (despite some people's best efforts to claim otherwise) cause more harm than good. Every person who cares about the economy, jobs & quality of life will support sensible #COVID19 precautions, not oppose them.
Some people are advocating for millions more to die and many more to be chronically disabled. Reject their patent lack of sense & empathy.
I was just laid off. I am a senior / staff-level iOS engineer looking for a new remote role in USA.
Did you know that if the battery on your #Tesla dies, you can’t even open the doors? I have a friend whose Tesla has been sitting in his garage for the better part of a week.
Just another example of how TFG is a criminal and a liar. https://www.rawstory.com/trump-has-intel-on-everyone/
So the folks in the knitting club here at the Activity Centre have been making dog sweaters to raise funds for the centre. They have a couple of toy stuffed dogs they’re using for general fitting, and it’s stupidly adorable.
