Formulaic templates, cutesy acronyms, and other gimmicks that teach kids to write badly....but score well on tests: goo.gl/RIVJ49. And every example of good scores for mediocrity - or poor scores for impressive thinking - reminds us never to judge kids or schools on the basis of standardized tests.
While U.S. service members die in another forever war in the Middle East, Donald Trump’s “peace envoy” is raising money for his private equity firm.
A more holistic view is needed to address the issue of human smuggling, instead of populist slogans and indiscriminate law enforcement, writes Azwar Shakeel.
Haitian woman, 31, dies alone at Pittsburgh bus stop days after ICE released her to the streets far from home to perish. Rest in power, Daphy Michel: migrantinsider.com/p/the-loneso...
I don't know, but I guess it bothers me some that the President of the United States posted on social media that it is his great honor to be killing people. 🤷♂️
This is extraordinarily bad
I know it feels like the day-to-day intensity of the ICE occupation in Minnesota has calmed down, but there are so many lagging problems that need solving, right as people’s attention goes elsewhere. Financial assistance, like help with rent, and legal help for the detained. These horrors persist.
Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"
The officer who killed Ruben Ray Martinez has been identified as Homeland Security Investigations agent Jack Stevens.
NBC’s Richard Engel: “The White House meme campaign is outraging many former US military commanders… they say only someone who has never really seen combat would think it’s a joke and put out material like this.”
The war on Iran is unfolding alongside a wave of mass layoffs in the US. These are not separate crises. They are two sides of the same offensive by the ruling class against the working class.
And this is all he had to replace Noem.
There should be zero financial incentive to become a politician. It should be codified.
DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.
He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.
The grift continues.
Like clockwork.
Most of the media is demanding that everybody supports the war effort. Well, sod that. This is an illegal conflict, launched by a decrepit American to distract from his domestic problems, which has already killed hundreds of women and children. I didn’t back the Iraq war in 2003. Nor this one!
Mayor Mamdani and a child play with Legos while looking very serious and concentrated. The child is impossibly adorable and wearing tiny blue glasses.
No interruptions, please. We’re building universal child care.

(📢) ALERT: See images. Mike is Director of the Center on Conscience and War.
Coupled with other signals I've been writing about—and a Post report suggesting a possible attack on Kharg Island—this is...bad.
On Sunday I'll publish a full book linking the Trump-Epstein Scandal to the Second Iran War.
The utter INCOMPETENCE of the “leaders”
of the Dem Party is repeatedly exposed.
They let outrage after outrage after outrage go by and have ZERO coordinated responses.
Oh.
“We have agreed” — how nice of them! Surely they’re doing this work pro bono right?
Reuters Exclusive
"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."
"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the Middle East."
This feels like a set up for a false flag event.
It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for.
Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.
So for all you “leave NATO” dummies out there, wanna explain how we defend ourselves without them?
Britain, France, Germany, the GCC (Bahrain, Kuwait, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Oman) are currently knocking down Iranian missiles and drones.
And this is just Iran. Not a peer.
As a historian, I'd just like to remind the politicians who follow me that it is not, in fact, 2003 anymore and the current GOP war in the Middle East is not, in fact, even remotely popular.
So if you're a weathervane who just tries to do what's already popular, full-throated opposition is it!
But they said he was “The peace president.” 🥴
They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).
The Department of Education has hung a massive banner honoring a racist college dropout who built a lucrative career out of targeting professors for harassment
