I don’t think a lot of centrists or leftists are actually listening to how TRUMP, the GOP are messaging to non-white voters. I really don’t. Maybe if they were, they wouldn’t be so…surprised all the time? I don’t know. They took our “free college” plan and said, “watch this!”  They stripped out all of the complicated nuance about whether or not college was regressive and truly stupid ISAs and the like — and they stripped it down to pure racially-motivated self interest.  Is it good policy? Not really no. But it is great politics and those two things they are not the same. I was listening to an interview on Latino USA on NPR this weekend. They had on a long-time Latino Democratic strategist, whose name escapes me now. It might be Chuck. Anyway, he had a really fascinating conversation that everybody right now wants to have (and that we have probably beat to death), which is why did Hispanic men move towards Donald Trump in this election. And after parsing the numbers in a very smart way, he did a sort of vernacular take on the politics of patriarchy, sexism racism, national identity, and status anxiety in a crumbling opportunity structure. One of things that struck me is that when he was asked what are the two issues the Democrats should focus on to bring back, not just some of these minority voters, but also speak to the issues of working class Americans? Not middle class Americans. But working-class Americans. He named two policies: higher education, access and cost and housing.  Nothing about the right’s attacks on higher education has been unplanned. Weaken it to own it. Anyway, I thought that was worth thinking about.

Dear Bob:

As you know, the State Police deploy 300 men to three schools in the South Boston area in the following manner and have done so since January 8, 1975:

South Boston High School: 90 troopers inside -- 50 troopers are stationed outside at the opening and dismissal of the High School and are utilized inside during school hours as relief to the above 90 men and also utilized when classes are changing.

Gavin Middle School: 30 troopers deployed outside during opening and dismissal and utilized inside when school is in session. 65 troopers on standby at the Commonwealth Pier, South Boston.

Dean Hart School: 15 troopers deployed outside at opening and dismissal and inside when classes are in session. In addition, there are 50 troopers utilized inside the school as a backup.

I have consulted with Deputy Superintendent America J. Sousa, Lieutenant Colonel Edward J. Teahan, and staff concerning the need for deploying men to the South Boston area.

As you are also aware, since the 300 men involves approximately one-half of our patrol troopers, it creates a tremendous drain on our patrol functions. Based upon the present needs, weather factor, and the fact that the 65 troopers at the Commonwealth Pier have not been utilized in any fashion since January 8th, it is my belief that this manpower of 65 troopers is not (illegible) at the present time. It is also believed that the Commissioner Robert J. di Grazia January 17, 1975

50 troopers utilized as backup at the Dean Hart School could very well be cut at least 10 men, which is a total of 75 troopers that should be returned to normal duties.

In the event of a problem at South Boston High School, it is my firm belief that a total of 140 men would be sufficient to handle the situation, particularly in view of the fact that the availability of school bus drivers on short notice is present, as opposed to the problem that occurred in December when the Faith boy was stabbed. This, of course, would eliminate the long wait to get the buses to the High School for evacuation purposes in the event of a problem and, therefore, minimizes the possibility of a large gathering at South Boston High School because of the time factor.

In the event of a problem at the Gavin Middle School, the 50 backup troopers at the High School could be utilized both at Gavin or Dean Hart, and the same is true of the 40 remaining backup troopers at the Dean Hart School.

It is requested, therefore, that a total of 75 troopers be deleted from the 300 men now assigned to South Boston.

Very truly yours,

Jack

Karen's and Kevins do it all the time

Every time a small child starts crying or having a tantrum in my vicinity and I catch the parents glancing at me I’ve started saying “me when…”.

Friend kept trying to tell his crying kindergartener to calm down and relax and the kid growled “I AM relaxed” while visibly tensing every muscle in his body and I was like “oh that’s me at work every day” and we had a chuckle.

Parents look to other adults like “shit are they mad? Do they think my kid is acting like a demon?” And this response is my attempt to say “no. I think your kid is just acting like a human being.”

I WISH I could fling myself on the ground and cry because I experienced a minor inconvenience.
