Anyone have any videos of ICE forcefully deporting them?

Or just the brown people?

NYT headline: “Kennedy Advises New Parents to ‘Do Your Own Research’ on Vaccines” Subheader: “In an interview with Dr. Phil, the health secretary offered false information about vaccine oversight and revealed a lack of basic understanding of new drug approvals.”

“And I’m like, what do you mean, you ‘do your own research’? You running a double-blind study in your living room, dawg?”

Pete Hegseth always looks directly into the camera when being interviewed. Not at the reporter or towards the ground or in another direction like a normal person. I find it unnerving and quickly change the channel

It seems like asking the Supreme Court to take up a case because you disagree with a lower court is basically the same thing as asking to see the manager 🤷‍♂️

Trump doesn’t mind tanking the economy w tariffs or whatever (in the short run) bc it makes him look tough and his base will eat it up. Then he’ll reverse course saying he’s “winning” and hail any rebound as proof of his genius and his cronies will use it to campaign on

I keep thinking about Howard Dean and that his enthusiastic scream at a rally of his own supporters was his downfall 🤷‍♂️

When the pain hits home, Republicans balk at Trump's spending cuts and tariffs — NBC News From reducing NIH funding to slashing USAID's food program to imposing new tariffs, GOP lawmakers are beginning to speak out — carefully — against some of Trump's actions.

“Among the top 20 states that take more money from the federal government than they sent in tax payments, 13 are solidly red states that voted for Trump in the last three elections”

Manu Raju might be the hardest working correspondent up on Capitol Hill. Dude is always on, chasing pols through hallways, making them uncomfortable with his questions.

Oops 😬

This is your daily reminder that both Merrick Garland and Mitch McConnell can go fuck themselves forever and ever.

Jamie Dimon says Trump's tariff policy is positive for national security so people should 'get over it' Dimon did not get into the details of Trump's plans, but said it depends on how the duties are implemented.

Teachers report higher burnout rates when using online platforms like #Canvas or #Schoology. A study of 779 teachers explores how the adoption of new tech tools without removing old requirements strains educators. https://buff.ly/4aaiRRL #edusky #teacherburnout #k12

One 2024 quote that I'm going to carry with me into the new year: "...but I'm happy to be wrong." Heard it during a disagreement, and once uttered, it completely changed everyone's demeanor.

If you get it, thank a teacher. If you just laugh... eewe

I would be surprised if the government didn't shut down.

It's the only way to find out what services people didn't know they were missing.

Those are the ones Elon will say " see, no one noticed you were closed. Goodbye "

Oligarchs now own:

- the incoming President
- the majority of the Supreme Court
- half of Congress
- most of legacy and social media

They do not own:

- most of the American people

- our hope for better days...for all

This is our ground zero for the rebellion.

Tommy Cappel, who co-founded the group Beats Antique, says the Archive is “hugely valued in the music community” for its preservation of everything from rare recordings to live sets. “This is important work that deserves to continue for generations to come, and we don’t want to see everything they’ve already done for musicians and our legacy erased,” he added. “Major labels could see all musicians, past and present, as partners — instead of being the bad guy in this dynamic. They should drop their suit. Archives keep us alive.”

Every time I read the local news and see a teacher who was awarded a $250 grant for her classroom, I understand that she spent hours of her own time applying for it. Writing it. Going through a submission process.

For $250. For her classroom…

Teacher: where's your homework?
