Man I hope they cancel standardized testing, any education professional can tell you it’s a bunch of useless horseshit that does nothing except make students and teachers miserable while utterly failing to accurately gauge understanding.
“why yall gotta make everything about race?”

PHOENIX (AP) — U.S. Sen. Kyrsten Sinema is growing increasingly isolated from some of her party’s most influential officials and donors after playing a key role in scuttling voting rights legislation that many Democrats consider essential to preserving democracy.
Leaders of the Arizona Democratic Party voted Saturday to censure Sinema, a symbolic condemnation for the woman who just three years ago brought the party an Arizona Senate seat for the first time in a generation.
Donors are threatening to walk away. Several groups are already collecting money for an eventual primary challenge, even though she’s not on the ballot until 2024. Young activists are holding a second hunger strike to draw attention to Sinema’s vote.
The moves offer a preview of the persistent opposition Sinema will likely face within her own party in the two years before she next appears on a ballot. The independent streak that has given her tremendous leverage over the agenda in Washington has enraged many Democrats back home who are intent on preventing her reelection.
Just to let you know, this is what a President can and should do to insubordinate members of their party. Joe Biden could have done this to her and Manchin at anytime but has refused to. Ask yourself why he didn’t when they blocked Build Back Better, 15 dollar minimum wage, and all types of shit.
A lawsuit filed Wednesday challenges a Tennessee law that allows adoption agencies with religious affiliations to deny help to families with conflicting religious or moral beliefs.
The lawsuit was filed against the Tennessee Department of Children’s Services after a couple said the Christian-based Holston United Methodist Home for Children refused to work with them because they are Jewish.
Elizabeth and Gabriel Rutan-Ram claim the adoption agency in Greeneville, Tennessee, denied them foster parent training and a home-study certification when they attempted to adopt a child from Florida last year. […]
Tennessee Governor Bill Lee signed House Bill 836 into law last year, which authorizes taxpayer-funded foster-care agencies in the state to deny services to families who have different religious beliefs from an agency.
Conservative “religious freedom” agenda off to a great start it seems like
ID: Twitter account IMEU “BREAKING: Reports that Israeli police have created a barrier around the Salahiya home, blockading dozens of Palestinians on the inside. Witnesses are reporting screams and cries for help heard from outside the barrier as Israel prevents ambulances and journalists from entering”
“A journalist on the scene reports that Israeli military and police threatened to beat him if he came any closer to the barrier.”
Israeli Occupation forces are currently demolishing the home of the Salahiya family in Sheikh Jarrah, according to Muna El Kurd’s live feed, the Salahyia family is screaming for help after being beaten by the occupation military, more than 200 police cars surround the neighborhood.
ALL EYES ON SHEIKH JARRAH
Update: the home of the Salahiya family has been completely demolished. Users on live feed are talking about the things left behind. Photo albums, toys, clothes - an entire family’s history destroyed, a home they lived in all their lives. They had no time to collect any of their belongings and were woken up around 3 am to Israeli Occupation forces.
ID: Twitter user Adrian De Leon (@aadeleon) “when Israel demolishes Palestinian homes, understand that they’re demolishing Palestinian lives, entire generations, *genealogies* of Indigenous life.”
there’s nothing left.
occupation forces raided the home while the family was sleeping at 3am, beat the family, detained the family, then demolished their home without letting them pack or grab a single item
over 20 other neighbors were also detained for protesting this act of evil. journalists were beaten. ambulances were barred entrance despite the need for medical help and a family is now homeless and arrested for the crime of simply daring to exist
in case anyone was wondering what ethnic cleansing looks like, this is it.

This is not “oh my gosh, how do our bosses not understand that the culture before was modeled after being in prison, and that it stifled innovation?”
They knew that. That was the entire point. The workplace culture was like that on purpose, and absolutely intended to keep us busy and miserable, because there are more of us than there are of them, and the last time the working population was aware of that, bosses were forced to make major concessions.
Our previous workplace culture made no fucking sense to continue for as long as it did. We’ve known for decades that the 8-hr workday is not effective, that cubicles destroy morale, and that “lean staffing” is bullshit designed to keep the bosses rich while causing massive burnout to everyone else. More recent is the knowledge that they could afford to double their workforce AND sharply increase everyone’s salary and benefits and still make astronomical profit, but that they won’t, solely out of greed.
But our bosses always said, “well okay, maybe that One Study said this was bad… but there’s Just No Other Way, and even if there was, we can’t implement it! Oh no, things just have to stay the same!”
….until the pandemic forced a change.
Rather than completely grind to a halt and make $0, bosses implemented radical, sweeping changes, and they did it FAST.
And their lies have fucking fallen apart.
We can work from home, and we’re just as efficient- if not more so.
Wearing jeans, t-shirts, and even pajamas or no pants at all does not affect the quality of our work.
Since plenty of us are at home, and “stepping away from the desk” more often than managers would typically allow, we now know that actually, yeah- we can get all of our tasks done in 4-5 hours instead of 8.
Not every meeting needs to be in person. Not every meeting even needs to be a meeting- a lot of them can be emails.
…all those lies our bosses told us have been revealed to be ash, falsehoods to preserve the status quo. Their system of power that was broken beyond repair has been un-glamoured. We see it for what it really is.
…which is why our bosses want us to return to it ASAP.
Because we’re aware now that it’s broken, but we haven’t truly started to fight back yet.
We can see that the structure is essentially held together with sticks and spit, but no one’s given it a good kick yet.
They want us back under their thumb before we get a chance to remember what our greatest weapon is and use it against them.
Hint: it’s unions. It’s organization. It’s dignity, and knowing that we deserve it, and collectively deciding that we’re not going to put up with less. Unions, and collective bargaining, and strikes, have the power to completely dismantle the system, and they know it…
They want to returns us to the system that burns us out, because for the first time in decades, we’re not just smoldering coals anymore- we have a spark. And motivation to fan it into flames.
Nurture that spark, y’all. Unionize.
iww.org
The fact that they’re fighting so hard to destroy our unions is bad news…and it’s good news because that means they’re that scared of us, that we’ve gotten this far and have only just begun to fight.
