Just finished an interview w/ a Black teacher who was fired from Bixby 9th Grade Center after she pushed back against students who repeatedly said the n-word. She alleges she was accused of not being 'neutral' toward racism and fired. Will have more details soon. #oklaed

Beware the Ides of March. Stab them first.

A patient was yelling at someone, then at me. I had a few options.

1) Call security.
2) Keep walking.
3) Go confront him.
4) Go find his nurse. (The RNs love this. But really. They don’t.)
5) Ask him what he needed.

You might have guessed I picked 5. Here’s what happened:

Hoping Conor has the day he deserves

A Texas church band member and owner of a music school that tutored children has been arrested for child sex crimes.

An Arkansas pastor who was previously convicted of child sexual crimes has been arrested again for sexually assaulting a patient at a faith-based addiction treatment facility.

We are optimistic. We are about halfway through this fight, and will continue to fight #hcpunion #hcponstrike

Been back on this hellscape for 3 minutes and already I wanna drink.

A Florida police chief who groomed and raped a 14 yr old girl at gunpoint has been arrested again for stalking her while out on bond.

Fuuuuuuuuuck this piece of shit

A year ago, I wrote about a 93-year-old woman who fell behind on her property taxes. So the government seized her home, sold it—and *kept the profit.*

The Supreme Court has agreed to hear her case. But there are many stories like hers, and they'll shock you. A thread.

NYPD is going $366M over its allotted OT budget this year––greater than the military budget of Albania. This has generated zero outrage in NY media which routinely gins up anger over 'fare evasion' 'costing taxpayers'. so I wrote about the double standard thecolumn.substack.com/p/despite-cost…

Reminder: despite white people loving to quote the line from “I Have a Dream” abt individualistic things (judging people), most of the speech was abt systemic racism, incl things that continue to harm now—police violence, housing injustice,voter suppression, insufficient change.

“Unfortunately, there are certain populations in this country, Black and brown communities, tribal communities, low-income communities, that are seeing the worst aspects of this disinvestment,' EPA Administrator Michael Regan tells NBC News. nbcnews.to/3GJ2z3R

Most cities increased their police budget in 2021-2022.

As a result, 2022 was the year with the most killings by police in any year in the past decade.

Every elected official who isn't calling for defunding the police is complicit in these murders.
