🍔🍟☠️ I wonder how many died as a result of not listening to health experts? Do the people responsible for this feel any guilt? Haha, just kidding. They have no feelings other than rage and hate.

🏫👩🏾‍🦱📓 Reopening in-person teaching in grade schools now is premature. There is no vaccine and there aren’t enough treatments of symptoms. I’m fully aware of the hardships parents face and I understand young children could see some social developments hindered.

Nevertheless, opening schools in facilities that were, even in the best of times, merely adequate, will show us the devastation of this virus. To be clear, it’s not just the facilities that are the issue. Young children will not be able to not closely interact with one another. And it’s not their fault. Young children should run and play and hug... so we have to step in until science figures this out.

If NYC teachers go on strike, I will support their decision. My children were fortunate to have some completely wonderful people as their teachers (and one child still does). Stay strong teachers, I love you.

Even with a vaccine (which is still only a maybe), 2021 will be another lost year.

This is such bullshit. The school system is only reversing her suspension because it makes them look bad, not because they truly believe they were wrong about it in the first place. The student in question should demand it stay on there. It’s a sign of making good trouble. And, by the way, good for her!

The olds are scared. Lower it to 16, I say.

Is 150,000 a lot?

🖕 Those playing a game know to protect their own and sacrifice the pawns first. The amount of fuck and you can’t be combined fast enough for these puckered anuses.

“These kids have got to get back to school,” Parson told Cox. “They’re at the lowest risk possible. And if they do get COVID-19, which they will — and they will when they go to school — they’re not going to the hospitals. They’re not going to have to sit in doctor’s offices. They’re going to go home and they’re going to get over it.”

Either Republicans leaders don’t understand the science or they don’t give shit. Ha, just kidding. They know the science¹. They just know if they say what their constituents want to hear, everyone will be happy. Some will die, of course, but… (see footnote).

🖕 A designer played a part in this. Boils my blood and reminds me of a zine by my close personal friend, Mike¹.

[Ron DeSantis is responsible for a lot of death.] (https://news.trust.org/item/20200716143306-y6l4u) And I here I thought Rick Scott was a fuckup.¹

☠️☠️☠️ Fuck the death penalty.

👱🏼‍♀️🏫☠️ If school districts insist on opening without an honest-to-goodness plan in mind that centers around the health of everyone (teachers, paraprofessional, staff, and students), then the entire country’s teachers’ union should go on strike.

What the hell is the point of a union if it can’t, if nothing else, protect you from unsafe working conditions?

Schools are NOT babysitters.

If people wear masks, we’ll be able to make it long enough to deal with the virus. If people quit Facebook, we’ll be able to make it long enough to deal with what’s happened to our democracy.

My daughter is supposed to start college in the fall (2020). All the schools are talking about going back into session (that is, having students back in campus) but I honestly don’t see how it’s going to happen. Same for all schools (not just college).

No vaccine, no in-person learning.* It’s really that simple.

*Shhh… don’t get me started on this distance-learning. It’s more like distance-assignments. I don’t blame the teachers. This virus-caused distribution is just another thing we plop onto the plate of underpaid and over-burdened people.

Turns out 2016 was the most important election.

Dear Satan, how can I be more evil? (Satan whispers in ear.) OK, I’ll do it!

Wouldn’t it be something if hospitals were as prepared to help us as police departments were to beat the shit out of us?

Also look at the military equipment the police have! Who the fuck are they anticipating to come across? If you think the police are here for you and me, I don’t know what to tell you. They are protecting the rich. And we’re paying for it. Medicare for all? Fuck off. Tanks for police? Yep.

I don’t get it. Landlords are going to kick people out because they can’t pay rent only to leave these apartments empty? Who the hell do they think is going to be able to move in?

We’re going to go from “Teachers should be paid $1 million a day!” to “Tax revenues are down, so the teachers have to go. What else can be done?”

The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

Barbershops are open in Georgia, but elections are cancelled. We really are governed by the worst people.

When Biden beat Bernie in several primaries a few weeks ago:

And now this.

Boy, can’t wait to vote for this guy.

The election is in jeopardy.

Why aren’t the Dems stepping up to lead since there is no real leadership coming from the White House?

While the Dems can’t enact policy alone, they could have a site where they list the reliable sources, explain who the unreliable source are, advice on how to steps to take to avoid contamination, what realistically people should do to prepare. You know, from longer stays at home to working from home to what do to with your children, etc.

All the advice having the backing of the Dem party as a whole.

Each name at the bottom of the page would represent the signature of the Dem who back this advice. It should, of course, be the entire Dem party.
