will never stop being incredible to me that the son of a lawyer (and grandson of an architect) who went to hotchkiss (hotchkiss!) gets graded on a curve cause he’s “working class”

I'd be more inclined to believe that Graham Platner is merely a dumbass if he was making different kinds of "mistakes" instead of one very specific type of "mistake" over and over

I just threw together a website visualizing this ICE contract data! You can browse through the companies and their contracts, and filter them by state micahflee.github.io/ice-contracts/

I just read this and found it surprisingly gripping. He says no doctrine would seem “more sinister and alarming than that a President [...] can vastly enlarge his mastery over the internal affairs of the country by his own commitment of the Nation’s armed forces to some foreign venture.” (p. 642)

Oh hell no

Um, nope.

Sen. Ossoff Statement on Iran Atlanta, Ga. - U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff today released the following statement. "Eight months ago, Donald Trump lied to the country when he claimed U.S. air strikes had 'obliterated' Iran's nuclear program. "Now Trump says he's taken America to war for regime change in Iran. "Trump has launched this regime change war and put American forces at risk without presenting evidence of an imminent threat, without clear objectives, without having exhausted diplomacy, without a plan for the aftermath, and without the consent of Congress. "I oppose yet another regime change war-of-choice in the Middle East. Congress must convene immediately and pass a War Powers Resolution to assert our Constitutional authority over war and peace. "The President has presented no evidence that Iran or its nuclear program — which he falsely claimed to have 'obliterated' — pose an imminent threat to the United States, or that diplomacy was exhausted. Iran's support for terrorism and uranium enrichment have long destabilized the region. But sending American forces into harm's way should only ever be a last resort. "I pray for the safety of U.S. forces who have been ordered into battle and commend their extraordinary professionalism."

Ossoff’s statement is 1000x stronger than Schumer-Jeffries. This is a moderate Jewish Senator from a Trump state. The split isn’t moderate vs progressive, but leading vs poll-reacting

Only one in four Americans approves of the U.S. strikes that killed Iran’s leader on Saturday, while about half believe President Donald Trump is too willing to use military force, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll that concluded on Sunday.

I made a worksheet for thinking through how to plan your garden drive.google.com/file/d/1pnol...

It's best for Philly people because it has sources for native plants in our area, but the general worksheet makes sense everywhere. Philly native species may not be native to you though obviously!

Huh. Weird. Well, here's another source.

Update: the American Girl dolls books for this doll were, in truth, about the grim history of the 1980s. I have now read aloud a book about 3rd graders witnessing the Challenger explosion and a second book about them dealing with community bigotry against a classmate with HIV

Ms. Wilkins, the daughter of a financial specialist in the aerospace industry (her mother) and a global consumer products executive for Gillette (her father), had lived in London and Switzerland, and for a time attended elementary school at Collège du Léman in Geneva. She is originally from the Boston suburb of Weymouth, but likes to emphasize her time living in Arkansas. "There are just some things the limousine liberal will never understand from the coasts," she recently wrote.

Ditto. In love.

This entire article seems to be just transcription, treating a conversation with a known perjurer as just a regular old "interview". How these people are pulling a paycheck while local reporters & outlets like Propublica struggle to stay around is beyond me.

Really at the point where I regard any mainstream WH or Congressional reporters compared to Isaac Chotiner as complete gullible rubes who have no concept of research, history, or facts and just act as parrots for Trump. Just complete dummies.

According to our sources in Williamsport, the vehicles have arrived.

turns out it doesn't count if you're pro-trans & pro-immigration

They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).

At the same time, we need to recognize that the whole system is set up to lure economically vulnerable people into enlistment and trap them there.

These are hard-won lessons of previous iterations of anti-war movement.

Protest the recruiters, not the already-recruited.

When I was coming up military recruiters were a constant presence at inner city schools. I’m curious if this is still a thing since MAGA took power in 2016? They still trying to get us into the military??
