oh so just dumb luck these idiots didn’t shoot down a passenger aircraft
According to multiple NYT sources, it wasn’t even military personnel at Fort Bliss that fired an anti-drone laser at alleged cartel drones. It was CBP who used the weapon on loan from DoD against a child’s party balloon they mistook for a drone. The Pentagon gave CBP an anti-aircraft weapon.

I work as a bus aid after school and we need to make being a bus driver a more attractive job. I can’t handle a 40 minute route consistently taking an hour and half

Today, @wired.com is publishing dozens of those locations. Many are near schools, medical offices, and places of worship.

Vital work from @leahfeiger.bsky.social that I'm proud to publish.

Another Ken Starr Epstein email, in which they appear to discuss Starr's interviews to become President of Baylor. Epstein says "I wish you luck...I am forever in your corner." Starr says "decision likely in...February."

Starr was announced as Baylor President on Feb. 15, 2010.

On SZD this week @rodger.bsky.social you mentioned New Treir when talking about high school not being competition for getting people to NU games. I encourage you to come to a Friday night game at Evanston Township if you’ve never been. Smaller venue but our fans get the place literally shaking

Just started a Reading and Literacy program at NEIU. They’re having us read YA novels as part of our workload. I am 100x the reader I was last time I read a YA novel. I feel like like I’m FLYING through this book (Scythe)

Minneapolis Police Chief O'Hara: "The video speaks for itself. We have identified this person - 37-year-old, white male, resident of the city. The only interaction that we are aware of with law enforcement has been for traffic tickets and we believe he is a lawfully gun owner with a permit to carry"

ICE just gunned down ANOTHER person, beating a man half to death before shooting him at point blank range. What the fuck are we doing?

ARREST ICE NOW. PROSECUTE ICE NOW.

I will not rest until every single one of these murderers is held accountable to the communities they terrorize.
