Absolutely.

The untold truth about teaching is that it’s equal parts social worker as educator.

Not just with bad behaviour, but with diagnosing child with needs, identifying domestic abuse, and so on.

It’s heart breaking some of the shit they need to do and which any normal person wouldn’t even consider as part of the job.

My wife has had to handle more than one incident with serious child sexual abuse. This isn’t something teachers expect to do when they apply for their jobs.

And that's yet another unintended consequence of the COVID lockdowns. Teachers as social workers had trouble diagnosing domestic abuse or other problems encountered by their remote students. One of those things we will be dealing with for a long time to come

I spent a couple years posting on the Keeper Klan forums I remember them having a page which was just filled with ads they would ask users to refresh the page on and not talk about while they were raising money for some project

If ICE, subcontractors, and the federal government and are doing nothing wrong, why do they need to hide?

It's like asking why a government that is supposedly subservient to its citizens has a system of Classification that prevents citizens from finding out what their government is doing

I keep writing and in my personal conversations with Trump people and moderates i keep reminding: overshooting stupid far right will lead to stupid far left. We don't need that either. Time and time and time again power structures flaunt justice, due process etc. It never lasts. It's a crap shoot what comes next if what's going goes too far: will it be an enlightenment movement? The political equivalent of luther nailing up his complaints? Or a repeat of 20th century revolutions. Om the whole in the long run people don't put up with run away kings and all the BS of palace intrigue that goes with it.

Control without accountability never lasts

Perhaps Joe Biden and the progressives were overshooting the last 4 years, leading to the excesses of Trump

LA Police are a literal gang. There are places with police that are corrupt in more obvious ways such as places in Africa but to say US cops are some of the least corrupt is ridiculous.

I remember the Dorner controversy. I hoped it would force a spotlight on the LAPD and their bad behaviour. I thought wrong

Slowly running out of alternatives, unfortunately.

That's why Donald Trump's electoral victory stopped a violent revolution
