I loathe him. Virginia will block schools from accommodating transgender students www.washingtonpost.com/education/2022/09/16/trans-students-virginia-bathroom-sports/'In a major rollback of LGBTQ rights, the administration of Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) will require that transgender students in Virginia access school facilities and programs that match the sex they were assigned at birth and is making it more difficult for students to change their names and genders at school. Under new “model policies” for schools’ treatment of transgender students released Friday evening, the Department of Education is requiring that families submit legal documentation to earn their children the right to change names and genders at school. The guidelines also say teachers cannot be compelled to refer to transgender students by their names and genders if it goes against “their constitutionally protected” free speech rights. And the guidelines say schools cannot “encourage or instruct teachers to conceal material information about a student from the student’s parent, including information related to gender” — raising the prospect that teachers could be forced to out transgender students to their parents. School districts must adopt the new state guidelines or “policies that are more comprehensive,” after a 30-day comment period that will begin on Sept. 26, the Education Department said. The Board of Education will not have to vote to adopt the policies.' If you are a VA resident, please submit a public comment against this hot garbage.

I hope schools and the community are successful in stopping this. I am blown away that this type of bullying is being pushed at this moment, but I guess they will keep trying to shove all gross ideas while they can. They should instead spend all time and energy making sure kids have free and accessible mental health services and lunch. Kids just don't need any added hard times.

I’m just really in my head about how these are the things that happen in the years leading to a genocide. The othering, stripping of human rights, the treating people as less than human.
I don’t want to be a bystander to this but I feel so helpless. How do we stop this before it’s too late?

yahoo.com/news/sadistic-lie-venezuelans-flown-martha-093000674.html"Dept of Homeland Security agents chose random homeless shelters all across the country, from Washington to Florida, to list the migrans mailing addresses, even when told by the migrants that they had no address in the US.... The group of migrants were being asked to appear in jurisdictions near homeless shelters across the country as early as next Monday" I am absolutely appalled. People involved need to lose their jobs and be charged with crimes. How often has this happened with no visibility? They literally set these people up to be deported

So much gross in here. Can we just scrub every disgusting republican with copious amount of bleach and start over?

If you want to help the migrants in Sacramento, you can donate to NorCal Resist. They have a specific fundraiser for this crisis, but also they do lots of great things in the community all year round. Maybe there’s a group in your local area you can donate to or volunteer with.

MTG doesn’t have a speech writer, just a MadLibs pad she fills in.

Right! I think my eyes rolled across the room they bugged out so far. I can't wrap my brain around this. I get 12 sick days and 1 personal day. Granted, I get school breaks so I don't really need vacation time, but if we have a rough winter of illnesses I still blow through those sick days. I used 8 last year trying desperately to be conservative. If it wasn't for H having unlimited sick leave I would have used all 12 and needed extra unpaid days. H took easily triple the number of sick days I did, plus he can work from home. We had an awful time this past winter. Oh, that's rough. We get 12 sicks days and 2 personal in my district. But we can roll our sick days we don't use and accumulate, so I have like 90. We also get comp time if we sub for each other during our planning period, so I'm able to mostly use those days. Don't get me started on having to burn those all for maternity leave though. Thankful for one summer baby! We get 10 sick days and 3 personal days. The sick days roll over. However we can’t use the sick days for our kids. Only personal days. Because no kid is ever sick more than 3 days. And most of our profession is mothers. 🤦♀️

How do we even begin to combat the overwhelming amount of awful things?
I'm pretty convinced at this point we just have to wait for most of the terrible people to die and hope the future generations will be better
