@catherine-price.bsky.social We are considering adding The Amazing Generation to our middle school reading list. Which grade level would you suggest we make it required reading? It’s a fantastic book!

Word Journal

The use of the quote’s a paraphrase of ideas found in Orwell’s essays but never actually written by him in those exact words. A classic rhetorical move. Whether it "properly" sells ICE’s mission depends entirely on how the agency's role versus the rights of the people it interacts with is viewed.

The American electorate made them toothless. The SCOTUS made them toothless. As a legislating body, they have little power. Your post should read the spineless republicans won’t do a damn thing. At least be honest.

JUSTICE GORSUCH: Can you give me a
reason to accept it, though? That's what I'm struggling and waiting for. What's the reason
to accept the notion that Congress can hand off the power to declare war to the President?
GENERAL SAUER: Well, we don't contend
that. Again, that would be --
JUSTICE GORSUCH: Well, you do. You say it's unreviewable, that there's no manageable standard, nothing to be done. And now you're -- I think you -- tell me if I'm wrong. You've backed off that position.
GENERAL SAUER: Maybe that's fair to say.

JUSTICE GORSUCH: You're saying there's inherent authority in foreign affairs, all foreign affairs, so regulate commerce, duties and -- and -- and -- and tariffs and war. It's inherent authority all the way down, you say. Fine. Congress decides tomorrow, well, we're
tired of this legislating business. We're just
going to hand it all off to the President. What would stop Congress from doing that?
GENERAL SAUER: That would be different than a situation where there are metes and bounds, so to speak. It would be a wholesale abdication.

What if Congress decides it's "tired of this legislating business"?
That'd be a "wholesale abdication," Sauer ntoes

Polls don’t equal votes. I’m sure you’ve figured that out by now. ✌🏼out…

One thing that’s kind of a red flag- Talatico took money from Miriam Adelson, the big Trump supporter from Las Vegas.

Just like Hillary supporters won’t let Bernie supporters forget that they cared little about SCOTUS when they wouldn’t support Hillary. And who said Bernie would’ve won? The polls?! πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

What do the #edtech folks I know think of this story? I'm somewhat sceptical of Jean Twenge's views (cited in the story) but I'm also currently trying to make up my mind about a bizarrely expensive laptop programme being offered at my kid's school that feels suboptimal, at best

Many, many people… his supporters didn’t understand politics. They were very mad he got the final speaking slot at the convention πŸ˜‚ They saw it as a slight from Hillary. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

β€’Trump says many people in Greenland are sick & "not being taken care of there"
β€’Reality: There aren’t official reports of a major health crisis/ epidemic in Greenland as of today.
β€’Health experts & local officials haven’t flagged any surge in disease beyond routine seasonal respiratory infections.

Who’s paying? I hope they have good health insurance and the tax payers aren’t footing the bill for this family.

Cause he is an institutionalist which doesn’t work well in this environment. He should’ve done it or trued to but he adhered to the norms of the office.

You made a silly statement about Merrick Garland. I don’t deal with unserious people. Carry on! I’m against fascists like you. We have that.
