Loved your piece- this line: "you send a person into a war... and when they come back injured and permanently disabled, you fucking well take care of them — forever." My only qualm is that we have NEVER done a good job at taking care of our vets (Navy vet & History teacher). Keep at it and thanks!

An Act Respecting Alien Enemies
SEC. 3.
"...and for such removal the marshal shall have the WARRANT (emphasis added) of the POTUS, or court, judge or justice ordering the same." -July 6, 1798.

To be fair, it is the very last sentence and you cannot expect some people to stay awake that long.

"Senior lawyers at the DOJ...(interpret) the law, to mean that the govt does NOT need a warrant to enter a premises to search for people believed to be (removable aliens)" (NY Times, 3/20/25)

EXCEPT they may did a TL;dr

for sure

Yesterday the white house page that had the constitution on it was gone.

“For we were all once strangers in this land.” -the Right Rev. Mariann Budde

guys we should NOT rush to judgment. what makes you think the white south african guy who tweets all the time about how black people love crime and jews manipulate world politics would do a nazi salute instead of a "my heart goes out to you salute"

I suppose one could refuse to be rescued by whomever shows up to do rescuing.

And die?

That sounds like a good plan. /s

Perhaps the wealthy entertainers we are all so disappointed in are just more greedy people who can never have enough.

And now they have been welcomed home.

Shocker. We have never taken care of our veterans properly. Never.

An Educator’s Milestone:

After chatting about the Journey concert they attended with dad and grandpa my student says

“you are one year older than my grandpa.”

oof

It Is Starting.

Email from a student asking about citizenship and deportation. This poor young person is terrified. I don't know their status, but the Orangutan and his gang have succeeded in terrifying a 16 year old. I am sure they are very proud.

Makes for a productive educational environment.

The political cycle was aligning nicely with my US History curriculum pace.
I’m attempting to wrap up Reconstruction and get into Industrialization & the (first?) Guilded Age but THESE kooks leap straight to Imperialism. That’s like TWO units ahead of me. What the hell, man?

A little Freudian slippage can be fun sometimes.

Illinois police say 11 teens brutally beat men they targeted using a gay dating app The teens all face multiple felonies for the July attacks.

11 teens have been arrested for beating two men they had lured using a gay dating app.

My point being that i feel like Carter would have won reelection and we might not have had Reagan in 1980.
They liked to frame Carter as weak despite being a Naval Academy grad and nuclear engineer in the Navy.

There was a special ops rescue that was literally about to leave the desert staging point and a sudden sand storm wrecked several planes and helos. Bunch of servicemembers died.

They were going to storm the embassy and bring home the American hostages

RIP President Carter.

Can you even begin to imagine the world we might live in were it not for a sandstorm?
