How does the Teacher of the Year get laid off?β she asked, stunned.
Across the country, schools are slashing special ed, packing classrooms, and cutting staff.
In small towns, entire schools are at risk.
Fight back!

It feels like very few outside of the area realize the extent of the damage. Many thanks to the legion of citizens like Snoopy and friends who have been volunteering to help out.

Yesterday my hometown was hit with massive tornadoes. We weren't expecting them in places that have never been hit before and have no idea who will help us. FEMA is all but dead and our state is run by Republicans that hate the city. This is the canary in the coal mine. My latest.
Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.
βIn Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.β
It costs less to house people.

A New Hampshire man with a green card was detained by immigration officers at Logan Airport and is being held by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement at the Donald W. Wyatt detention facility in Central Falls, Rhode Island. Fabian Schmidtβs family said they are unsure of why he is being held. They said he has a recently renewed green card, and no active issues in court. Schmidt had been visiting Luxembourg and flew back to the U.S. on Friday. His partner had gone to pick him up at Logan Airport, and waited four hours before calling authorities. βIt was just said that his green card was flagged,β said Astrid Senior, his mother. She said she didnβt hear from her son directly until Tuesday, when she learned heβd been hospitalized. Senior described Schmidt being βviolently interrogatedβ at Logan Airport for hours, and being stripped naked, put in a cold shower by two officials, and being put back onto a chair. She said Schmidt told her immigration agents pressured him to give up his green card. She said he was placed on a mat in a bright room with other people at the airport, with little food or water, suffered sleep deprivation, and was denied access to his medication for anxiety and depression.

This reminds me of John Doar's meeting with Freedom Summer volunteers before they went down to Mississippi.
He sympathized with the work but told them, accurately, that the federal government couldn't protect them and they were on their own. Some were furious; others appreciated the straight talk.
Millionaires can write off the entire cost of their private jets on their taxesβ¦
Teachers can only write off up to $300 for school suppliesβ¦.

WHO AGREES?! π€β¨
He certainly does, as well as room costs for all.
Moulton: He doesnβt have any sons or daughters who served in the military after 9/11. If just one of them had signed up, maybe he would know that we served on the ground alongside Canadian troops, French troops, troops from the UK, the Danes, the PolesβAnd you know, they lost a lot of lives there
That is how recessions start. Disruptions and layoffs in one part of the economy affect others and the ripples are felt throughout.
