For what it's worth:

_Hi there Jason -

Thank you so much for signing my petition demanding the resignation of Betsy DeVos as #EducationSecretary. Because of you, we've reached many people who understand the clear and present danger she poses to our public schools, children and communities. 

As #DeVos continues to face withering criticism in Washington and around the country, it is critical that we get 250,000 signatures before we deliver the petition to her and the Trump administration.

Please help us reach our goal! Can you please share this petition with five of your friends right now?

DeVos' recent streak of clumsy and embarassing high-profile interviews has gone viral, even inspiring a sketch on this week's Saturday Night Live. One video after another captures DeVos unable to answer even the most basic questions about education policy - even in her home state. 

I am both a public school teacher and the parent of a public school student. And I know that our children, communities, and our country deserve better than Betsy DeVos. Thank you for taking a stand on this important issue.

Feel free to click through and sign. I'm not sure if these petitions are even remotely impactful, especially among the #DonaldTrump administration, so feel free to not sign if you don't want to.

In #TrumpNation the voice of the people are an inconvenient truth.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
