Illegal immigrants get everything for free, paid for by taxpayers. What's even the point of being a citizen if you have to carry this burden?

library studying together that isnβt their lived reality. (Our library had to institute a text-a-librarian service to help students in limited off hours). So while I donβt like them using AI, I also recognize that they are using it to survive a system that doesnβt have the resources to support them.

We provide gas cards to students who canβt afford gas to get to campus. My students complete that assignments at 2 or 3 in the morning after their kids are asleep. One of my colleagues has video calls to tutor students at 9 oβclock at night. While I love the idyllic view of students sitting in a

While I agree with you in spirit, the reality is much more challenging. My students work full-time to finance their education while serving as a single parent raising a family. My campus has a food pantry for students βbecause hungry students donβt learn.β

This moral radicalization happened at all levels in the Union army, very much including Ulysses S. Grant.
A lot of Northerners needed to SEE it to become true believers in the cause. But they did. Itβs all there if you listen to the lyrics to The Battle Hymn of the Republic.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov continues to lie and say that Illinois State police are there to protect protesters. Clearly they are not.
Governor, we will not forget. You have the power to call them off.

This is so true. People forget how much effort secretarial staff and admins put into making their bosses look good. One guy I know used to dictate memos on a tape while riding in a convertible. Needless to say, most of his correspondence just loosely based on his ideas with his secretary writing.

@espn.com it is amazing how Joe Buck can bring up Patrick Mahomes despite there being two top quarterbacks playing in the game we are watching.

Woman: LIFE IS SO STRANGE THESE DAYS. I SEE PEOPLE GOING ABOUT THEIR EVERYDAY BUSINESS.
THINGS LOOK PRETTY NORMAL ON THE SURFACE.
Strolling through stalls, woman checking phone, man holding up gourd
Woman: BUT WHEN I CHECK THE NEWS, IT'S TOTALLY SURREAL. THE EAST WING OF THE WHITE HOUSE HAS BEEN RAZED?!
RANDOM BOATS ARE GETTING BLOWN UP! PEOPLE ARE BEING DISAPPEARED!
Walking between stands selling pies and cider
Woman: IT'S LIKE THE GAP BETWEEN ORDINARY EXPERIENCE AND THE BIZARRE HELLWORLD OF POLITICS HAS GROWN SO VAST, IT'S DISORIENTING. IF YOU'RE LUCKY ENOUGH TO NOT BE DIRECTLY AFFECTED YET.
ONE YEAR LATER
In background: Stall named SURVIVOR ORCHARDS with sign saying THIEVES WILL BE SHOT BY DRONE
Drone hovering overhead
Gruel stall, $30/ bowl
Food bank donations box

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions
"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"
