This interview was too good not to share in its entirety. So meet Grant, a 15-year-old student from Princeton, New Jersey, who spoke to our reporter at the #HandsOff rally there.
He has some thoughts.

This embroidery in Evanston, IL, isn’t the quickest-reading sign of the #HandsOff protests, but it sure does capture the public mood.

At least the orange idiot can't take credit for USA winning the 4 Nations tourney when he would've had no idea what it was anyway. We would've won with a healthy Charlie though IMO:)

Doing MA Conflict of Interest Training today was mind-boggling.
I am once again thinking about the fact that as a part time faculty member at a state university I legally cannot ask people to donate to a school committee campaign. And yet... *gestures broadly everywhere*

Doesn’t “patriotic education” sound like exactly like the sort of indoctrination they were accusing public schools of committing? Or is that only when they teach the truth about American history? www.nytimes.com/2025/01/30/u...
With Sweeping Executive Orders, Trump Tests Local Control of Schools
The orders seek to encourage “patriotic education” and restrict discussions about racism and gender by threatening to withdraw federal funding. But schools are often resistant to change.

One individual knowing so many billionaires is scary. That's a lot of billionaires to know. Unless you're kidding, but I feel like there ARE that many billionaires out there.
I know two decent billionaires well (both friends). One is a very famous human- lower end billionaire, and he+ his wife do amazing things with their $. The other is more "old school" billionaire, also does amazing things w $. The rest of the billionaires I know are self serving jerks.

I'm generally avoiding all TV news these days and know a few other people who are, so I wonder if this is a general trend for all TV news post election day because people don't want to see his stupid face or hear his stupid voice.
CNN’s ratings are down 40%.
Maybe they shouldn’t have tried to both-sides fascism.
