The essence of authoritarianism is getting away with crime. That's why this indictment is so important

If you eat your cake, it is gone, and then you no longer have your cake.

Shoutout to all the fine people who used to imagine they’d risk their lives to rescue slaves or hide war refugees in their basements. Even though we now know you won’t even wear a mask to the grocery store to protect others, you’ll always be heroes to me. ❤️

If Ketanji Brown Jackson was vacationing with Bill Gates, if Bill Gates bought her mom’s house and paid for her kids to go to school… Conservatives would lose their fucking minds… #Hypocrisy

So when the asteroid hit, did the dinosaurs just sort of joke around about how crazy the dust was. Asking for a friend.

My hypothesis. Everyone had a major reset over lockdown and realised the pace of life pre covid wasn’t healthy. Schools then went right back to exactly the same as they were before, but the children didn’t. I can’t believe we didn’t take stock and implement changes in schools.

Remember when the I told the staff that our low test scores are because students aren't learning and then bragged in my speech at graduation that our perfect graduation rate is a reflection of all the student learning? It's like I'm just making it up as I go, lol.

Because of family obligations yesterday, I'll have my blog post ready in two parts. Part 1: A close reading of the indictment, with commentary, is ready. terikanefield.com/indictment-2-o…

Passing by a school today, I saw a child whose gender I couldn't at once identify. Naturally suspicious, I asked them what they identified as and they replied "Your mum". What kind of world is this where teens are permitted to "identify" as 70 year old women? It's woke gone mad.

We're asked to feel sorry for the billionaires who imploded on the ocean floor. We're expected to think wall to wall coverage is normal. We're called inhumane if we don't express sorrow over their deaths. But the fact is: the existence of billionaires causes death. For millions🧵

Four thoughts this morning from the political wilderness: 1) Yes, our political system is broken. Really broken. Been fucked up & broken for awhile. Broken before Trump came along. In fact, Trump is just a horrible, ugly, dangerous consequence of a broken political system. 2.

The fact that we all collectively think learning sucks is one of the greatest psyops of our time. Learning is one of the most fulfilling things in the world. It's just school that sucks. But we've been successfully brainwashed to conflate one with the other.

Not sure which day, but at some point this week the Supreme Court will rule on student debt relief. You should know that Justice Alito took unreported luxury fishing trips paid for by billionaire Paul Singer—the same billionaire funding the lawsuits against student debt relief.

Before you begin your thinkpiece, the Supreme Court DID NOT strike down Affirmative Action Admission preferences for legacies, donors, employee families and special recommendations are still allowed The Court struck down Affirmative Action For everyone except WHITE PEOPLE

I'm reminded of Toni Morrison: "The function, the very serious function of racism is distraction. It keeps you from doing your work. It keeps you explaining, over and over again, your reason for being" That's what Roberts WANTS Black kids to be further distracted by his bullshit

President John F. Kennedy’s grandson endorses President Biden, slams Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his campaign.

GOP and conservative base lie. It's not about the babies...the children..or pro life. It's about control over women. Over their bodies..their Healthcare choices..their rights..their lives. #DemsAct #DemsVoice1 #FreshResists
