People have gotten intolerable. At a DC area Wawa, getting gas, and all the bays are full. I get behind the one with only one car in line and wait. I hear the pump beeping like it's done, and I notice there is no driver. I can't back up now, someone behind me. 1/
I wait, and wait, and wait. Five minutes goes by. Finally a woman comes out, walking at a pace that says "I am all alone in the world." She has a bag full of snacks and a coffee. She settles her purchases in her car, and then takes the pump out. 2/
It's now been about 7 minutes. She gets in her car. I have done nothing but wait. I've not gestures or said a word. She sits in her car. Another three minutes go by. She's on her phone. There's a huge area she could pull out into for that. She sits, not even looking up.3/
My daughter had time to go into the bathroom and back out in all this and was airing with me. She asked "Why isn't she moving?" I had no answer. So I tap on the horn, to remind her she's not alone. She looks up in her mirror and shakes her head "no." 4/
I'm sorry what? I motion withy hand towards the area in front of her where she could pull out. She looks at me in the mirror, shakes "no" harder this time, and sits. A full five minutes had now elapsed. 5/
She was wearing a mask. She was thin (like goes to yoga daily thin) very well groomed and dressed, driving a brand new Acura, and sporting a ponytail. If her name were Karen, I would not be surprised. She is an insufferable she-devil, a maskhole, mad cow, & flaming cunexttues.6/
How much you wanna bet she loves mandates and calls people like ME "selfish?"

I left the north for a reason. She and people like her are that reason. Too goddamn many of them north of the Mason/Dixon /END

Advice for parents from Legal insurrection: cultivate relationships with local reporters; make their job easier. Write the articles FOR them. Give them quotes, and 800 words written. Do things by email, so you have a record if they misquote you.1/
Record interviews if it's legal where you live. If not, tell them you're recording. Keep answers short, so they have more trouble misquoting your or taking you out of context. Say what you want to see in print. 2/
Focus on the message: you are for equality, non-discrimination, and you oppose the racialization of education.3/

Finally made it to the hotel and our room. 18 hours for a 13.5 trip. Subtracting maybe 30 minutes altogether for stops, that's 4 hours extra in TRAFFIC alone, all of which was "construction" that wasn't. Lame closures and a weird number of state police cars and cop cars. 1/
Boston, even in the dark, looks like ten times the ass-crack of America it was when I left in 2005. GIANT BLM sign in Red Sox font with little Red Sox flanking the turnpike as you enter the city. It's like the city is saying "Whitey go home" as you enter. 2/
Saw a couple walking down the sidewalk, at midnight, no one around, both wearing masks. It's a fucking cult. That's the part that's gonna suck about this conference: having to wear a mask all damn day. Networking wearing a mask. Etc. UGH. 3/

While we've been distracted by everything else, who's been covering the courts, delays in justice, and direction of the judiciary branch in general? Guys: if we lose the courts too--if they're corrupted, if the older more sane jurists die or retire, it's over. 1/
How much justice has been delayed (denied) because courts are STILL backlogged or shut down? How many govt lawyers are woke and working to corrupt the system? How is this impacting the pursuit of justice in every other area (education, healthcare, family law, etc)?2/
I personally know dozens of people who have legit cases they could bring against their schools and districts, but they can't find willing lawyers, or can't afford the money and time. Waiting times for hearings are months, so kids would be stuck in school facing backlash. 3/

Went to lunch today with some women I've met through my work--they found me and invited me to join them once a month. It's lovely, they're a lot of fun, and we all agree things are messed up. We share stories, trade resources. Well today one mom told me a whopper of a story 1/
Her 14 yo son was in an art class recently, where he was working on a piece with lots of colors, somewhat rainbow like. A classmate who goes by they/them (FTM) starting yelling at him that he had no right to draw and color "their" flag, and demanded he stop. 2/
He was confused and tried to defend his picture, only to be told by the teacher to finish it at home. He had to stop working on it there. This same they/them is one of several who wear dog collars and bark at cis white boys in the hallway, regularly. 3/

If you're tempted to roll your eyes, or accuse me of hyperbole for comparing what's happening in education (and psychology, and media, and science, and law...) to Nazi Germany, it's b/c you think I'm making a 1:1 analogy. 1/
I'm not. What I'm hoping you'll see are *patterns.*
1. Politicization of every institution, in one direction
2. Gradual shunning/shaming/dehumanizing of opponents
3. Changes to the language to control speech
4. Takeover education, push ideas supporting the state 2/
The specifics could be the polar opposite (obviously, duh), in lieu of white aryans, you have "BIPOC" being the superior race, and victims of "oppression." Political opponents were even accused of being Jews, or Jew-loving (sound familiar to "Uncle Tom?") 3/

Once it sinks in that, legally, the state owns your child the minute he or she crosses the public schoolhouse threshold, you'll have the strength to do what needs to be done to disengage from the public school house. 1/
Until then, all you can do is try to find a specific evidence of civil rights violations against your child, and that's difficult, bordering on impossible. It's also very time consuming and expensive, not to mention risky for you and your child, socially and professionally. 2/
I realize asking you to commit almost an hour to this is asking a lot, but it could be the hour that makes a difference in your child's life. Please watch and share, or at least read the article I'm reading in the video by @CBradleyThomps1 /3
