If someone’s job requires an appreciation Week it means they aren’t getting paid enough. I hate Teacher Appreciation Week because it only magnifies all the ways teachers are NOT appreciated. I'd really rather it just not happen at all. Or alternatively, maybe it would be best if it happened all year round, in our paychecks, and in our working condi…

On today's episode John discusses why we must defund and abolish the police. Is a system that needs more funding/training to not shoot a child worthy of being saved?’ Maybe the system is just doing what it was originally designed to do: kill.
