Rep Al Green from Texas is reintroducing articles of Impeachment against the criminal Donald Trump.
Green tried earlier this year but all other reps were too chickenshit to back him. Support him this time. Call your reps & tell them to join him. #3E #EndImpunity

You’ll see a lot of lost cause shit after Trump goes away. “Well you know that wasn’t all bad” yes it was
i have noticed that trumpers have shut the fuck up for the most part, just like these same people did when bush's approval went to the 20s. it was awesome, because you knew they didn't really believe he was wrong and were so mad all the mud-brained moderates turned on them
I don’t know if this reflects what others have seen in rural areas, but it has been a noticeable glimmer to me the last couple of times I was really out in the sticks.

the people did not elect Stephen Miller to be President but Stephen Miller is, effectively, the President
“Oh damn, the president ordered the murder of his political opponents” is super bad and to a large extent so is “nobody under him lifted one single finger toward that goal” because who is exercising the power of the presidency at that point?

"change who gets into the uber exculsive club designed to benefit socially connected people" is not a means to meritocracy, if more students are succeeding acedmically we need to create more opporitunities for them (fund public research unis), if they aren't we need to help them (fund k-12)

My most extreme policy position on college admissions is that if you want to be really serious about admissions equity and preserving rigor, you just use some form of school adjusted GPA and standardized test scores and then lottery admit from all applicants above that threshold.

"The Holocaust is about man's inhumanity to man" makes people *worse* human beings because it teaches that the people who collaborated with genocide get to judge the survivors of genocide. So it's better to just set up a curriculum in which people who didn't learn clean the houses of people who did.

One of the hard things that America doesn't want to talk about is that the median reading/numeracy comprehension is about 6th-8th grade for the general population across all age brackets, and if you want to give a college education to everybody you're going to have to deal with that.

UC San Diego is discovering shocking grade inflation at many Cali high schools, to the point that a large minority of kids with a 4.0 average in math are at 6th grade or below in mathematical ability.
In response, they’re resorting to semi-blacklisting schools with especially bad grade inflation.

It’s especially troubling how much the extremist behavior of individuals or groups “is now excused or normalized by adjacent members of their own political communities,” our columnist Thomas Friedman writes.
