The chump administration has gutted Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services in the Dept of Education.

This department is responsible for ensuring that 7.5M children are not discriminated against & are treated fairly within the public school system.

They've escalated the tear gas and flash bangs in PDX as well. Locals say ICE is filming it. Guess FOX needed some new footage.

The polls seem to continue to force a false dichotomy. It's like the poll questions asking if we approve of the Democratic party. No, of course we don't, just look at this mess -- but the implication that the alternative is MAGA is also false.

To end the post match press conference, we asked @reignfc HC Laura Harvey about how special Seattle is as a sports town, especially considering the years that the Storm, Mariners, and @soundersfc.com are having.

The neurodivergent experience of asking someone for feedback and genuinely wanting feedback and being frustrated when they just say “it’s great!” vs when they ask you for feedback and you invest time/energy in providing thoughtful feedback and they get upset you didn’t just say “it’s great!”

When people ask me what gives me hope, my answer is simple: you do. Every person who refuses to look away. Every lawyer who files a brief. Every protester who shows up. Every voter who refuses to surrender their rights. You give me hope—not because victory is certain but precisely because it is not.

What Gives Me Hope

BREAKING: In a win for public schools & educators, a court rejects Trump-Vance admin’s assault on public education as unconstitutional.

This decision in our case proves the admin's attempt to weaponize federal funding & require compliance w/ their flawed interpretation of civil rights is unlawful.

Apparently Trump staffers are far less skilled at hiding cognitive decline than Biden's.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐- Nothing about Gunny Rose could disappoint me, but I was delighted by the events in this book with some unexpected twists and action (no spoilers). There's magic, gunfights, high stakes and high tea too. My only complaint is that I've already finished reading it.

"I learned that reality isn’t what we think. Reality as we know it is based on the concept that there’s only one world and only one “true” history. In actual fact, a long, long time ago, reality split into two during an event called the Great Rift."

We’re posting about this now in hopes of drawing public attention to NOAA’s Atlas 15 project which was quietly shut down by the Trump administration before it could be completed. The work was nearly finished and could still be restarted if pressure mounts.

Is Thune progressively becoming more orange to match POTUS? I met him when he first started campaigning for the House back in the late 90's, and can attest he was not orange then, not is orange a common South Dakota skin tone.
