idk but people who talk about “good schools” without interrogating how school ratings usually reflect average household income and not quality of instruction always feel like racists dressed in plausible deniability to me

Incidentally, since almost all the physical books from major publishers in the US are printed in China, that probably just increased the price by 50%, which massively lowers sales and means publishers will do much smaller print runs.

Many law firms representing federal employees have come under attack. The legal community is pushing back. More than 4,000 legal professionals have signed an open letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi, expressing concern over the administration’s actions against law firms.

25 hours and 7 mins of Brilliance. Thoughtful, prepared, educated and intellectual speech about the state of our country and its position in history. No Dr. Seuss. No Phonebook. No monotone reading of laws. But compassionate, inspiring, and emboldened words drawing the attention of the entire world.

I’ve ridden past Jägern, solo in their ladder stands, guns in camouflaged laps. We don’t acknowledge each other. A new musing is up for the month of April, "A Black Forest Ride." Enjoy!

What I love about #airtravel are the instructions to lean forward in case of turbulence, rest my head on my lap & cover my head with my arms. I’m short. And it’s impossible for ME to get my head anywhere near my lap! Seats too close!! #Swissairlines #Unitedairlines #absurdity #flying #MeredithWrites

Is it good to have a Director of National Intelligence who can't remember what country she was in a week or two ago?

“The 5 things Pete Hegseth did last week” - Shared classified attack plans on an unsecured commercial chat application. - Denied doing it. - Denied the plans were classified. - Denied the plans were plans. - Attacked the journalist who proved he was lying.

Honored to join veterans in calling for accountability and investigations into Secretary Hegseth’s FUBAR situation where he texted secret war plans on Signal to a journalist. We all wore the uniform. If we had texted secret war plans to a journalist, we likely would have been court-martialed.

What was dumber: including a journalist on a signal chat about your bomb plans or then calling that journalist “bottom scum” while he still had the screenshots available to publish as your colleagues were already committing perjury

Pamela Anderson has been asked in a news interview if she regrets her past work. Her answer (my translation from French). ‘Like my photos for Playboy, the series (Alerte à Malibu) permitted me to pay my bills, help my parents and raise my children.’ What an answer❣️

It’s very discouraging to watch our country slowly re-learn the lessons that led to the end of segregation, among them that people who think they’re racially superior are nearly universally incompetent fools unable to face up to their own deficiencies and putting them in charge is suicide

When some people see a Black pilot or a woman astronaut, they think, “Oh, they aren’t qualified.” When I see a Black pilot or a woman astronaut, I think, “Wow, they had to work their ass off twice as hard to get here —now that’s being more than qualified.”

Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act. With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

Few things make me livid when I see them online seeing parents proudly say they have no regrets after letting their child die of measles, a fully preventable disease, I lose it for a bit. That’s child neglect. CPS has taken Black kids for far less, and it’s infuriating to watch this go unchecked.
