In 2016 people dismissed the possibility of a Trump presidency.
I personally could see it, even though I dreaded it.
He had access to enough money and was ego-blinded to the people using him to knock down walls that had stood strong for decades.
It happened once. It can happen again.
We can't mess it up this time. #PayAttention and nip this bullshit in the bud.

The warnings in @BrynnTannehill74 chilling & astute…

“There’s no guarantee the GOP will move on to the next step required to eradicate transgenderism.”

“But it is becoming increasingly clear that they will try, opposition has done little to slow them down, & now they’re hinting how they intend to close the deal.”

So “potent & dastardly”…by the time you’re done…
It’s SO obvious!

"And then, one Thursday, nearly two thousand years after one man had been nailed to a tree for saying how great it would be to be nice to people for a change, a girl sitting on her own in a small café in Rickmansworth suddenly realized what it was that had been going wrong all this time, and she finally knew how the world could be made a good and happy place. This time it was right, it would work, and no one would have to get nailed to anything." – Douglas Adams #quote #socialmedia #payattention

This weekend I’ll be reworking an S1 assessment so that it can be “read” more easily by a digital reading package. At one time, this would have been done by a properly staffed SFL department, there to support learning and teaching. Now teachers have to do this themselves.

As @theSNP@twitter.com government cuts education back again and again, I have voted to REJECT the @EISunion@twitter.com pay offer.

We have to see the wider context here, and say out loud: enough is enough! Stop cutting education!

#PayAttention

#Solidarity to all @EISUnion@twitter.com and @NASUWT_Scotland@twitter.com members out on strike today and tomorrow!
Maybe @COSLA @twitter.com and @S_A_Somerville @twitter.com will finally #PayAttention and offer a fair pay deal - teachers are not asking for much, just to be able to pay their bills!

Deborah didn’t pay much attention to the laws when they were enacted, never believing she would want an abortion. But that has changed.
“It makes me angry, for politicians to decide what’s best for my health,” she said. “We would do anything to have this baby.”

I can’t imagine many #teachers are going to be very impressed with the latest pay offer from the Scottish Government: even if we’re not all maths #teachers, we can work out that it’s half of inflation, so still a pay cut!

Erdoğan the second! DeSantis is following the playbook of Erdoğan and all other Authoritarians that have destroyed Democracy. #PayAttention

“The hope is that teaching unions will suspend strike action on the basis of an interim offer.

However, if the teaching unions refuse, Tes Scotland understands the government could impose the deal.”

Imposing a deal wouldn’t necessarily stop the strike action, so…

@patrickharvie @ScottishGreens Excellent news, I’m glad to hear that - we need a more progressive tax system.
Perhaps now the government can also start to properly negotiate with teachers for the #PayAttention pay claim from 2022?

Oh look, because the #ScottishGovernment doesn’t want to #PayAttention to teachers, fewer people… want to become teachers! Not a great surprise…

Goodness, the SNP is taking this kind of rhetoric straight from the #Tory playbook.
A guaranteed vote loser, even for a committed independence supporter like me.
The #SNP needs to resolve the #PayAttention teacher dispute now! Use some of the 2022 £2bn underspend.

This is *not* negotiating, @S_A_Somerville@twitter.com - you and @COSLA@twitter.com finally need to get serious!

After yesterday’s #strike, I am in Edinburgh for an SQA Understanding Standards event… having taken a 6:35 train… but the #ScottishGovernment thinks #teachers deserve a pay cut, not a pay rise.
