No Child Left Behind left so many kids behind, it's kind of hard to comprehend. A friend of mine became an English teacher in Florida in 2001, and the "teaching to the test" that was already in place was deeply upsetting.
That was 25 years ago, and we know it only got worse.
Thank goodness we rolled back all of our renewable energy efforts before we started a war of choice in the Middle East.
First thing we do, let’s fire all the consultants.
No hell hot enough.
How to kill the internet in one easy step
Fuck this.
Like you’re gonna find the reset button when you can’t even find the clit.
“It’s like I’m in a giant, open prison,” he said. “I can walk around, but I’m not really part of the people here. I’m not among them.” @liv-veazey.bsky.social on the Kafkaesque maze faced by those seeking asylum in New York @nysfocus.bsky.social

one of america’s most cherished folk singers wrote an entire song about what a cruel criminal piece of shit donald trump’s father was all the way back in 1954 and somehow this basically never comes up in any story about the trumps, they have literally *always* been this way
Something I'm not seeing specifically mentioned very much: The SAVE act will screw over people who were adopted. Approximately 100K kids are adopted every year in the US. Most of them have a name change when adopted.
We all had pieces, but the full picture was behind locked doors in the DOJ.
He literally pulled a "you should smile more" IN RESPONSE TO AN EPSTEIN QUESTION.
Cutting 400 jobs at the University of Essex would hit students, teaching, research and the wider community.
Closing the Southend campus would be devastating for the town.
Staff strike 12–19 Feb.
Join the rallies: 5 Feb Southend an 12 Feb Colchester (12–1pm). Info ⬇️
I'm sorry, but what the fuck is going on? I'm sure that trying to censor speech at all public schools, colleges, and universities will be sold as "free speech." Talk about a shithole country...
It seems that the proclivity toward serious criminality (felonies) is far higher among ICE and CBP agents than among immigrants taken as a whole. Stats on this subject are persistent and offer the same results.
Ousting Bovino is good and necessary, but let's start yeeting the ones who DON'T look like they're cosplaying Himmler.
Bovino was always going to be the first to be cut loose.
Of the nearly two dozen violent, and in some cases fatal, arrests identified by @documentedny.bsky.social, DHS published official press releases for only two.
"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."
James Talarico: “It’s time to tear down this secret police force & replace it with an agency that actually is going to focus on public safety—
We have to haul these masked men in front of Congress so the world can see their faces”
He’s lied in court under oath multiple times. Just the perjury charges alone would do the job.
I spent the last year writing a book about the ridiculous demands of what it means to be masculine. But a guy who takes care of people who served our country, asks a woman “are you ok?” When she is in distress and looks out for his vulnerable neighbors seems like a pretty good role model for a man.
If the first sentence of the previous post sounds seditious or dangerous or extremist, take it up with the Declaration of Independence, I guess, and stop being/accommodating Nazi tyrants and their lawless death squads.
It's true that when a government becomes tyrannical it is the duty of the citizens to overthrow it and form a new one. It's just that the people who have been saying it in my lifetime have been saying it in response to stuff like the existence of Hannukah, and Black people, and the Spanish language.

No preview sucks so here is the post with alt text.
just gonna throw out a quick reminder that in America police kill a yearly average of 3 civilians per day, routinely in situations very similar to these ICE killings, and decades of explicit support for police impunity by US politicians is why ICE feels theyre able to get away with this right now
Abolish the police
Abolish ICE
Abolish the Republican Party
Take over the other party and reform it entirely
Good morning.
Once you understand that you're dealing with murderous liars, you stop entertaining what they say as possibly credible and legitimate. The fight against them is about stopping them from terrorizing and killing by any means, not winning debates about your reality versus theirs.
