Pro-tip: if you could get your ass to a Trump rally, you could get your ass to a no-mandates rally.

I can't take any of you people seriously anymore. You don't love liberty, you love your idiot king. I voted for the guy second time around, but this is absurd. 1/
The more time goes by, the more clear it is how much his fuck-ups led us here:
-who agreed to 15 days to slow the spread?
-who decided to use taxpayer money to pay Pfizer et al?
-who did fuck all about education until the 11th hour, and that was't much? 2/
-who spent most of his time talking about himself and the media out to get him (true or not; never make yourself the story, press on)
-who walked his own supporters right into an obvious trap at the Capitol?
-who had no "Kraken?"3/
-who has spent his time out of office begging for money to pay his legal bills and to run another campaign, and mocking better men than he will ever be (DeSantis)?
-who still doesn't get he had his turn, and it's someone else's now? 4/
Enough is enough. Enough Trump, enough Clinton, but bough with these DC narcissists who see the country as a company they run, and who feel entitled to do so, because reasons. 5/
We need new leadership. Spend t and money looking for them, not defending Trump! /END

I think a lot of people grossly underestimate the power of having a target upon whom to project all manner of evil, while quietly, secretly, working at implementing the evil while you're busy defending/attacking said-target.

The Presidency has become too important. 1/
If I hold conservatives, the right, republicans, etc...accountable for anything, it's believing in the exclusive power of the executive, like kids believe in Santa, or the faithful believe in a Savior. But think about it...2/
Just as Biden, despite having the House, and having a friendly administrative (deep) state, ideologically 100% in his corner, cannot completely implement his agenda, neither can Trump, or any Republican. Difference is, 3/

Making a list of "Books kids should read before High School" for two bright kids (4th and 5th grades, reading at-level/slightly above) whose mom has asked me to do lit lessons with them b/c the school is only doing "reflections" and not "interpretation" or discussion.1/
Their vocabularies are weak b/c they read from the same genre all the time, and their critical thinking skills are almost dormant because they're merely asked to write ABOUT what they read, for a check-mark. 2/
The evidence showed up on recent SSAT scores. Perfect math scores, decent verbal scores compared with most kids, but not as good as they ought to be given their potential/cog. abilities. LOW synonym scores, and low higher order/interpretive scores. 3/

To those pragmatists out there saying "But isn't the important thing that the contract won't be signed?" Let me say this:
NO. That's important, but it's not THE important thing. THE important thing is that @CTruittNCDPI stop pretending she opposes critical pedagogy. 1/
If she can't even identify it when it's right in front of her face in plain English; if she hasn't taken any time in the past YEAR, when this topic has been front-and-center, even in her own state with @markrobinsonNC and his task force's admirable work, to educate herself, 2/
she is just putting out this one fire. If she can't see how inappropriate it would be to allow them to rewrite their contract, rather than put out an RFP for OTHER providers, who do NOT trade in anti-enlightenment, anti-American, racist quasi-religious dogma, this is no "win."3/

First, it was "You don't understand SBE process/facts. BOE already voted for it." Implying, repeatedly that Truitt lacked the power to stop it.

A week of bad press later, the story is that we misrepresented her intention to sign it, she never did, etc...1/
When an elected official who not only can, but should SPEAK UP before, during, and even after a vote *doesn't,* her constituents (and the unbiased media) have no choice but to think "actions speak louder than words." 2/
@CTruittNCDPI was alerted to the CRT materials created by the company whose contract was up for renewal, and was asked specifically if she planned to oppose the renewal. We have the email alerting her, and her snarky reply, mocking the suggestion there was cause for concern.3/

It's just a bad idea for mainstream journalists to block independents for asking questions, even very pointed, borderline accusatory questions. If you can answer them, do, if you can't, say "I don't know," or "I will look into it," or even "touche" especially if 1/
you *claim* to agree with the core point which is that CRT should not be in our schools. But when you block, and completely disengage, you leave the field wide open for people to wonder why you're so thin-skinned about it? 2/
Mature adults who genuinely think they're being harassed unfairly can contact the person directly, especially when you *know* the person personally, and have communicated with them on these topics neutrally before. 3/
