but I would like to point out this is not just about this money, this is not just about the wall, this shutdown and this protesting against the wall is a statement against trump’s white supremacy.
The reason people are fighting it is because the fear-mongering alone is damaging to relations between people. It’s a statement of hate, and to reduce it to just a cost thing is to ignore why trump wants the wall in the first place
this isn’t representative of the people, this is a representation of the white supremacists that govern our country despite not winning the people’s vote.
they continue to make laws and structures that terrorize people
My sister would like to get paid again sometime in the future and also FUCK that useless wall.
Agriculture is suffering, food regulations are suffering, nearly a million federal employees are suffering … and all for this.
ALSO THE 5.7 BILLION IS JUST THE F DOWN PAYMENT, LOOK FOR THE ESTIMATES OF THE COSTS AFTER ITS JUST STARTED, ITS WORSE.
I’m trying to balance being a union member — and not wanting to make it any easier for the district — and being a teacher and a mom and wanting to give my kids everything.

LA teacher Jennifer Liebe-Zelazny, on bracing for a possible strike Monday.
United Teachers Los Angeles’ more than 30,0000 members have been working without a contract for over a year.
On Friday, the union once again met with leaders of the LA Unified School District to try to hammer out an agreement. LAUSD is the second largest school district in the country, and a strike would affect roughly 480,000 public school students.
Alta Loma Elementary School teacher Jennifer Liebe-Zelazny is ready to strike if there’s no deal come Monday. But she knows it will come at a cost to her fourth-grade students.
“I am obviously really concerned if this drags out what the real impact is gonna be to their progress,” she says. “I’m a little stressed about that.”
Liebe-Zelazny has spent the last few days collecting donated books to send home with her students so they can have something to read during the strike.
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
