@mmpadellan As a teacher, we say the pledge every day. Less and less kids are standing as the year goes by. And I understand - it’s sad what our country has become but I’m staying hopeful for our future without 🍊

I'm so torn right now. Despite its problems, I still love America, my country of birth, the only country I have ever lived in. I'm torn because of the glee I feel as our Vice President, JD Vance, is drenched in thunderous boos at the Olympics. I really can't stand that lying sack of shit, but he's there sadly representing our country. JD Vance represents the absolute worst that America has to offer, he is an embarrassment. BTW -- that's why trump isn't going to the Super Bowl, he would be booed into oblivion. I remember, as a kid, learning the "Pledge of Allegiance" and "My Country Tis of Thee," and learning the words to the "Star Spangled Banner" and "God Bless America." I still have national pride. Just because I'm liberal, it doesn't make me any less patriotic. There's some kind of idiotic myth, pushed by morons on the right, that if you criticize America or you criticize the President, that means you hate America. These hypocrites have the audacity to say that, after spending 8 years criticizing President Obama, and another 4 years criticizing President Biden. I despise the way Vance has chosen to represent America, behind a wall of lies and hypocrisy used to justify the hateful actions taken against fellow Americans and anyone who looks like they might have been born in another country. If you are a patriot, you love our Constitution. If you're a patriotic elected official, you've sworn an OATH to defend the Constitution and all its amendments, even those that are inconveniently impeding your quest to remove as many Brown people as possible. And if you are a patriot, it is your DUTY to speak up when you see things aren't right, when you see people making us look bad, when you see others being hurt, oppressed, or treated with cruelty. When you love something or someone, you correct them when they're wrong, because you expect THE BEST from them. THAT is what it means to be American. So yeah, BOOOO to that lying hypocrite JD Vance, and his "Haitians are eating cats and dogs" and his smug, mascara eyes looking in the camera, and his refusal to apologize for lying about Alex Pretti and Renee Good. ALSO, hooray to our AMAZING American athletes, I will be rooting for you at the Olympics, hooray for all those people who told Vance to suck it. And hooray for America, which I still love but excuse our appearance while we are under shitty new management.🇺🇸

She was his everything.💔 RIP Renee Good.

@ProFootballDoc Merry Christm to you and your beautiful family!

#MerryChristmas No #HalftimeInjuryChat #DALvsWAS Maybe for later games

@marcelluswiley I got both replaced last year - it’s a game changer! Healing prayers - you are going to feel so much better!

Please keep me in your prayers as I head into my total hip replacement surgery — aiming for a healthy, smooth, and successful outcome. No, I’m not trying to pull a Philip Rivers comeback 😄 — but if I can get back to being “Big Usher” on the dance floor, I’ll take that as a major win. Grateful for the love, faith, and positive energy. 🙏🏿💪🏿❤️

@LibOrNormal God is good but you are a thief.

Someone dropped their receipt at Walmart so this lady picked it up and walked back in the store and got everything on it....

The Marshall Project asked incarcerated people what might have kept them out of prison. Their responses: Affordable housing, vocational programs, cheaper college classes, grief counseling, drug prevention programs, daycare vouchers and more. themarshallproject.org/2020/10/27/wha…

@donwinslow Life is Beautiful. Has it all.

@braves2430 2500 miles - Buffalo, NY to to CA with time in Chicago and NYC. I did my time in the cold!

How far away is it for You? 🚗⌛️

@billinformed Powerful stuff

The Noise Covers Everything he stands under the hot lights talking about patriotism, family values, god’s love for the nation— and all I can see are the locked doors in his mansion and the perfume that still hangs in the air like something dying slow. he jokes with the press while the lawyers shovel dirt over another box in the woods. tells the crowd we need “more law and order,” as if order ever lived in his hands. he throws parades, spends millions on fireworks, lets the army march through the streets, because nothing drowns out the sound of children telling their mothers what he did to them. and the people cheer because they’re drunk on the noise, and noise is easy— truth is hard, truth is a dead rat in the corner of the room you keep pretending you can’t smell.

@Georgebabs_ Brisn Ferry - Slave to Love. Seems like a good soundtrack

@JamesTate121 @CalltoActivism And everyone just stood around filming. 😔

This is assault. 🤬

@FamilyKabs I love your relationship - so loved seeing these clips over the years. All the best to your singing beauty!

I can’t believe our girl has officially started college! 📚😭❤️ you know we had to! 😂🤝🏾 Still on the same vibe 12 years later! 🎶 #TheKabsFamily #fatheranddaughter

@NicholasFerroni Thank you for all you do to advocate for teachers. Stay positive and I hope you have a great year. Your students are so fortunate to have you! #teacherstrong

This year feels heavier than most, uncertain and unsettling. But we can’t carry it alone. We must support each other and speak out for what matters.

@earth_tracker I never get tired of this video. Pharrell’s expressions..

4. Maggie Rogers, as an unknown music student at NYU, showing her unfinished song 'Alaska' to Pharrell (who can visibly tell it's going to be a massive hit within about 15 seconds)

All-time favorite type of videos: pre-fame bands playing their extremely famous songs to a tiny room of people, because they're not yet known. A thread of some examples 🧵 1. MGMT playing 'Kids' to a crowd of maybe 25 people on a college quad

@glenn_tunes We know 😔😔

AS A NORWEGIAN CAN I JUST SAY SOMETHING TO ALL OF MY AMAZING FRIENDS IN AMERICA 👊 YOUR PRESIDENT IS EXTREMELY EMBARRASSING 🤡😂🤣

@FixingEducation I had 5 classes of 35-37 each for a total of 180 students. My coworker had 185. We do our best but would love smaller classes to be able to give more individual attention. However I have the stronger students help the weaker and that helps everyone.

Ideally, no classroom in America should have more than 20 students.

@ProFootballDoc Happy 14th!❤️ You both look great!

Happy Anniversary! 14 and counting! instagram.com/reel/DKzvyrgpP…
