I agree and second this question.

Holy...
What this brilliant person stated. I second that.
You rock, flandish. Thank you so much for your service. You and your colleagues are heroes.
I came here to say TACO, but you beat me to it.
Lordy, that was a punch to the gut. A little painful, but very accurately stated. Please take my up-vote.
This is beautiful and we need TACO's support.
Carney, Ablanese, Mamdani.
Allow the brilliant President Drink Bleach to continue speaking.
To not linger in the pain, but to allow ourselves to be moved by it. To not whitewash reality, but also not to take up lodging in the house of despair. This is the dance of our times.
We must become agile and flexible. To feel responsible but not so guilty we are immobilized. To feel rage but to learn how to direct it into action and passion and purpose. To lift ourselves to a more existential absurdist place where the fascists cannot touch us. Not disassociation or numbness, but finding the grace, energy and humor that come when we commit ourselves more deeply to one another.
This is so beautifully stated - and true.
Meanwhile, the next two get-togethers appear to be scheduled for July 4 and July 17. See you on the streets, dear reader - we are many:
Nonetheless, Richards said, all that his superiors would tell him was “you’re fired” after a parent – whose identity was shielded and whom the teacher presumed to be “disgruntled” – reported discovering his being mentioned in Messinger’s obituary.
Whose identity was shielded, you say? Perhaps not dissimilar from, say, a fascist ICE agent whilst committing crimes against humanity?
By contrast:
One mother, Katheryn Lee, told WDSU: “I would like to see the morality clause change.”
A father named Rick English told the station he believed the morality clause at the center of Richards’ dismissal is “a violation of human rights” that needed to be reviewed. “To me, it’s a social injustice at this point,” he remarked.
Would someone kindly explain why good parents are signing petitions and openly identifying themselves in a conservative Catholic school, located in a very red state, while a disgruntled parent filled with hate chooses to shield themselves?
It appears he is a much loved music teacher who the students admirably addressed as "Mr. Mark" and who served the school for 22 years. I will guess that this will go horribly wrong for St. Francis Xavier Catholic School in Metairie, Louisiana.

Goodness, this is so beautifully written!
I just checked out the blog site - it's beautiful!
This appears to be the page describing the artist:
This does of course imply the protests are working.
I'm sure he's still helplessly whimpering at night in bed, following caps-lock reality-divorced social posts, over his birthday parade failure as a result of No Kings and the 30,000-pound non-penetrating ordnance adventure in Iran.
Therefore, I think we should continue to protest.
There appear to be activities scheduled for July 4 and July 17: https://www.fiftyfifty.one/
You inspire us. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this important context.
