Hey, remember when so many elected Democrats publicly called for Joe Biden to drop out of the race that he actually did? We need Democrats doing that now with Chuck Schumer. @schumer.senate.gov is unfit. #ResignSchumer

Desperately writing "Donald Trump" and "Elon Musk" in every notebook I find in hopes that it's actually a death note. Somehow a more realistic scenario than meaningful Democrat resistance.

" The Russian economy is smaller than Canada's. But we are nevertheless going to trade 80 years of alliance with reliable partners that are 15, 16, 17 times bigger than Russia as an economy for an alliance with Russia." Who does that benefit except Trump, Musk, Putin & everyone who hates democracy?

So apparently the AP Human Geography site is culling some of its "daily videos" for class use. A teacher tells me the videos on redlining and white flight are gone. In the screenshot below, you can see the Daily Videos start with no. 2 (no. 1 on this page was redlining, and it's gone now).

1. This morning, California Governor said he was in "complete alignment" with anti-LGBTQ+ hate-influencer Charlie Kirk of TPUSA on transgender sports. He also conceded on trans inmates and gender affirming care for youth. It's so much worse than being reported. Subscribe to support my journalism.

Saw this letter on the face site. I really like this as a message that doesn't pull punches about Tesla the company but offers sympathy and practical suggestions for people who own Teslas now. Tempted to print out a few of my own and start carrying them around.

Antivaxxers are trying to erase a six year old girl because she is the only child to die from this vaccine-preventable disease in >22 years. Six-year-olds can’t make medical decisions. She was unvaccinated bc her parents opposed vaccination & would be alive today if her parents were not antivaxxers.
