The story of 2024 is this: Trump had a plan to destroy American government called Project 2025, which had, literally, not a typo, a 4% approval rating. He lied constantly and said he wouldn't do it.
Then he entered office and immediately implemented AN EVEN MORE EXTREME VERSION OF IT.

The "liberals have to learn how to live with people we diagree with" line kinda stops making sense in a world where the central disagreement is whether disagreeing with them should be allowed at all

Itโs hard to be that nuanced in instruction and with feedback when you have 30+ students per class all with different accommodations. I think that these examples are a product of a failed system rather than a teacher coming up short. Give teachers support and resources and they will teach better!

"For Du Bois, narratives of Reconstruction provided an important
barometer for measuring how the historical professionโas both a set of
disciplinary practices and practitionersโcontributed to a broader civic
ideal of cultivating a citizenry empowered to aim for a more democratic,
anti-racist future. And in that regard, he insisted that historical writing
as a professional enterprise had failed. Du Bois highlighted what he
judged as a persistent tendency to craft history in a way that glossed over unpleasant realities and omitted ugly and or unflattering truths. Inviting his readers to consider the stakes of whitewashing history in a way that โpaints perfect men and noble nations, but โฆ does not tell the truth,โ Du Bois argued that the consequences of selective remembrance had implications in the present. To illustrate this point, he explained that one could easily go through the American education system โwithout any idea of the part which the black race has played in America; of the tremendous moral problem of abolition; of the cause and meaning of the Civil War and the relation which Reconstruction had to democratic government Black pasts, racecraft, and the political work of history
and the labor movement today.โ

Multiple journalists killed by Israeli strikes on Gaza hospital
A hospital strike in southern Gaza has killed at least eight people, including four journalists. The attack happened on Monday.
Four journalists were killed by an Israeli strike on a Gaza hospital today, including Mariam Dagga, a freelancer with the @apnews.com. She has a 12-year-old son, who was evacuated from Gaza earlier in the war.
She was a true hero, like all of our Palestinian colleagues in Gaza.

Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to โthe leftโ and therefore ignorable.
Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.
Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.
