tapdancer I have a lot of friends who are teachers (or were my former teachers) and I have yet to see ONE say that arming teachers is the right idea. Most say the same: spend the money on supplies, on feeding kids, on hiring more qualified teachers. It absolutely broke my heart that the teachers striking in WV pooled their money so their students could eat while the schools were closed. How the fuck did we get here?

Hey SHS is up We're going to harden schools. Because it will make the transition to prison that much easier. Next week the Crown Prince of Saudi is visiting. We want to strengthen ties to them. Also 45 is taking his first trip to Peru and Columbia next month. It highlights his desire to do.....something. set up another dictator prolly There was an article in the latest TIME about the Saudi Prince and 45. It painted MBS in a half flattering, half dictator light and 45 not at all nicely. (Of course he likes the soon to be dictator, etc.) As a side note, I haven't really seen a shift in TIME's coverage of 45 yet, but I'm still not renewing.

Axios is reporting that Trump dialled up a Fox and Friends host in the middle of a meeting with Secretary Shulkin to ask his opinion on major VA reform legislation.
What.

I... don't even know what to say about this. I mean... he has advisors. Why not run it by Javanka? Dafuq does random Fox person know about the VA? Why do I expect him to act presidential is the real question.

I was for a long time, but the quality has really gone downhill the last couple of years and now the Kochs helping the buy out was the final nail in the coffin. I think I only have an issue or two left before my subscription is up.

Sam Nunberg just told @arimelber that Robert Mueller's team (in his voluntary interview) asked if he knew anything about payments to women: "It's pretty obvious that they're looking into this."

OMG this is terrifying. I would be so pissed if I found out there were guns in my kid's school and nobody told me.

Adam Schiff's statement regarding the shutdown of the investigation. Adam Schiff @repadamschiff BREAKING: GOP just shut down House Intel investigation, leaving questions unanswered, leads unexplored, countless witnesses uncalled, subpoenas unissued. If Russians have leverage over the President, GOP has decided that it would rather not know. The minority's work continues:

Re: arming teachers, it's not only about children of color getting shot by white teachers but also teachers/staff of color getting shot if something happened on campus and police did need to come. Philando Castile didn't survive a traffic stop while legally carrying - he's going to survive an active shooter situation at his school?

Have we talked about the package bombings of POC in Austin? Just a little. It's horrifying.

Nelly, in case you lurk - you're one of the good ones and a reason I come back.
I'm feeling very Taylor Swift on a boat about all this.

PDQ Well, I just found out I have to go through Active Shooter Response training for work. I really don’t want to go, but I’d also like to hear if they have some idea about addressing the face that only a few storage areas on our unit lock. If someone was a legit visitor and cleared to come on the unit we’d all be sitting ducks.
