This is a good time to remind people that the similarly overused less lethal weapon tear gas is super dangerous for pregnant people. Every politician that is antiabortion or proclaims wanting to protect children should be vehemently against use of these weapons as crowd control.

Is it because they are "more likely to succeed"? Community college is for everyone, no matter how "likely" they are to "succeed". Just give them the free education!

What is the point of the B average requirement for the free community college? Is it supposed to be an incentive? Because high schoolers are famously not incentivized by a reward that may not even effect them and only takes effect after 4 years of high school.

Before I realized I have aphantasia, I assumed people who don't use references are just more creative than me. Then I realized they were literally visualizing & using visualization as a reference. I now wonder if people who think using a reference is cheating have hyperphantasia & don't realize it.
