Awww that police officer thinks the school year is the calendar year.

Same. I was a former public school teacher, served on a city board, was working at a nonprofit doing great work locally in education, and was starting to build a resume looking towards an eventual run for school board and possibly, one day, city council. Then a relative joined their local school board in 2020 and I became friends with someone who served on our school board and I knixed the plan entirely. It’s not worth death threats to my family, even if I did feel like I would have been an asset.

Then, I switched nonprofits and my coworkers got death threats because, of course, no good deed goes unpunished in this political hellscape.
