If GOP is indeed steadfast in destroying the College Board, the progressive agenda is to make sure nothing replaces it. The College Board is an EdTech tapeworm inside K-16 gobbling away from both ends. I’m pretty sure its GOP critics just wish they owned the tapeworm.

the college board's not a progressive organization

I've proctored dozens of AP and SAT tests at my school and never earned a single dime for any of it.

They profit off an army of teachers providing them free labor.

People are spontaneously posting up near any laborers or street vendors they spot. Just saw a rapid responder guarding a man working on a building exterior. Many things are terrible today but lord, this stuff matters.

A lot is happening here.

AKlob post on FB: A guitar-wielding Tommy Stinson of the legendary MN-based band The Replacements hit the campaign trail with Tim Kaine on the harmonica with Elizabeth Guzmán and me in Manassas to kick off a canvass for Elizabeth and Abigail Spanberger, the next Governor of Virginia!

That stupid epic handshake meme I like just a bit too much:

Left hand: “Why lookst thou so?" "With my crossbow
I shot the albatross.”

Right hand: “tonight’s ballgame”

They meet: “mariner v bird”

There are a tremendous number of ICE watchers out in Rogers Park this afternoon after some early morning abductions.

People are guarding churches and patrolling alleyways. Ran into Alderperson Hadden. First timers tell us they're primed and ready to use their whistles.

Telling the federal court that IL police can handle Broadview was part of the state's legal strategy against national guard being deployed here.

But it's hard to square that as for the good of protestors or Illinoisans as a whole, when IL police are perfectly willing to drag and beat them anyway.

state police continue to push protesters down 25th street. at one point, cops swarmed a group of people and pushed them to the ground.

multiple people arrested.
