I worked with most of those who run the UFT currently when they were on the way up. I know we could make life better for members. I have confidence this is true. Part of that is listening to all sides before making policy and not just outright ignoring people we disagree with on outside issues. We all agree on the importance of public education.

Really? How out of date is that information? Very. Why are you including a CNN story anyway? Do you actually watch CNN or even trust anything that comes from them? Please. We all know the answer to that, based on the far right views you share here. There may be some neo-nazis present in Ukraine. There are also neo-nazis present in this country. You call them the Democrats. I will respectfully disagree, and won’t get into a battle on who and where they actually are. Does that give Putin the right to bomb us and kill innocent civilians and children? Or do you think all those children were new-nazis and therefore killing them is justified? When I do my research, I don’t just google stories that fit into my echo chamber. The other stories you linked do not have verified sources, but somehow, I don’t think you concern yourself with actually verifying information. You can literally find a story or several that will back up any and every theory you can come up with, and it seems you do. You’re stuck in a echo chamber black hole and no one here can help you get out. But you don’t want help. You just want someone, anyone, to listen. Desperately. What are you doing commenting on a pro-teacher pro-union blog anyway? The things you discuss here have nothing to do with strengthening our union, and gaining respect for our profession. Is this the only blog left that actually will publish your comments? Is that why you keep coming back? You have to admit....there is no other blog out there that lets people debate issues like this blog. So you continue to come here. I will say from my apparently unawake place (as you claim) that I personally disagree with most of the decisions my union has made politically and contractually. That’s why it’s time for a change. If you don’t agree with the current positions of our union or the proposed changes by the UFC, then perhaps instead of just commenting useless echo chamber rhetoric here, do something useful. Maybe run for a position in our union? Or is that just too much work for you? Much easier to just whine and complain and search for echo chamber links, right? Just wondering how all of this is helping the teaching profession and the upcoming contract negotiations. But, hey, maybe someday, I will wake up and be as woke as you apparently are, and all will be well. I guess it starts with my just accepting that Putin is justified with bombing Ukraine, as you have. Then, my pay that doesn’t even come close to keeping up with inflation won’t matter. The continued disrespect from administrators won’t matter. The current working environment and upcoming changes that Mayor Adams and Chancellor Banks are proposing that will further diminish our profession and our morale won’t matter. Thanks for the enlightenment. I think I’ll choose to just stay asleep, and instead continue fighting for the changes that actually have a direct impact on our teaching careers and our union. This is where my fight can actually make a difference. If we are all united, WE can make a difference. But you just keep complaining on this blog @Anon2323, because James will continue to publish your comments, and I guess having your useless echo chamber rhetoric published is all you really have, to live, and fight for.

Never cared if he acted like a dick. Lost 100k in the market already. Energy costs doubled. Government wants to decide for me what the truth is and have children keep secrets from their parents. Black and Latino voters say crime is their number one concern. Yeah… Dems are going to get slaughtered in Nov and when the Republican version of control rounds you up and makes your children pray to their God just remember you set it all in motion. You gave the government the power to destroy you and I’ll laugh my ass off if/when they do. Then afterward I’ll mourn the death of America that you all enabled and cheered for.

But it’s not looking at voter fraud, it’s looking at whether ballots were collected and submitted in violation of the state’s ballot-harvesting prohibition. In fact, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) has been explicit: “Those are still lawful ballots,” he said in an interview, “but they’ve just been handled fraudulently with, obviously, the ballot harvesting.” Maybe! If that’s proved.<br /><br />What’s more, even True the Vote doesn’t allege that the ballots themselves were fraudulent. When the website Just the News first covered the Georgia story, it noted that True the Vote was not making such a claim. When two True the Vote representatives testified in front of a Wisconsin legislative committee, the group’s Catherine Engelbrecht said so publicly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-48824180258076349612022-04-29T20:34:49.801-04:002022-04-29T20:34:49.801-04:00@11:23am... your responses are typically fair and ...@11:23am... your responses are typically fair and balanced.
