This is the first image I jump to when folks say they home school their kids. I'm sure plenty of them do fine, but... I don't think people realize how important public school is for kids who suffer abuse. School is a safe haven to get out from under that thumb of authoritarianism and horror.

Who’s really behind book bans? It’s not just concerned parents… 72% of book censorship efforts come from pressure groups and government officials. Only 16% come from parents, and 12% from others like teachers or library users. #FreedomToRead #StopBookBans #FactsMatter #LetBooksBe #ProtectLibraries

Ten years ago, it would have been inconceivable that a president would fail to divest from his businesses, much less that his business would continue to launch new products like a phone service during his presidency. This is yet another ethics outrage.

An interesting and under-discussed NYC politics subplot in the Mamdani campaign and the attempt to sink Hanif in District 39 is the rise of South Asians as a political force in the city, and the backlash to it

This is in part why NY State's old school incumbent Dems suck. They assume that the rules just don't apply to them.

Framing every Jew who protests against Israel as “pro-Hamas,” as this “Jerusalem Post” editorial does, is a really intellectually dishonest thing to do! (www.jpost.com/opinion/arti...)

Klein opens with declines in public support for trans rights but elides majority support for anti-discrimination. Basic civil rights framing fight but Dems negotiate with themselves and don’t do propaganda or dismantle the right’s noise machine.

This is an absolute betrayal of promises made by Congress to protect the people who protected American soldiers. A betrayal by people who think American greatness is based on half-assed military parades rather than being a credible ally to those that risked their lives for America.

This is continued journalistic malpractice from the @startribune.com normalizing a violent white male suspect. He owned a private security company called Praetorian Guard, traveled overseas to preach against abortion and LGBTQ+ people, and attended a bible college that preaches "violent prayer."

All the "no forever wars" MAGA voters will turn on a dime to justify whatever war Trump wants. Like how GWB in 2000 ran a campaign eschewing war hawk language, as a rebuke to Clinton's foreign incursions. 9 months into Bush's presidency it was full war hawk mode, & his voters loved him for it.

I’m not worried about USAF tankers over the Atlantic. Not tracking pizza orders in NOVA, either. Back gate at Fort Bragg? Boring. I’m worried that Coinbase is going to start sponsoring Reza Pahlavi.
