If you devote your life to educating the next generation you should be able to retire with dignity and grace. That's why the pension is a promise, but New York broke that promise with Tier 6. This comes down to basic fairness. #FixTier6

A water desalination plant is presumptively a civilian object & it is an object indispensable to survival.

Targeting a civilian object is a war crime.

Targeting an object indispensable to survival can implicate the starvation war crime.

'One year of failure.' The Lancet slams RFK Jr.'s first year as health chief In a scathing review, the top US medical journal's editorial board warned that the "destruction that Kennedy has wrought in 1 in office might take generations to repair."

Hegseth: For too long, our country's gaze was only on borders in far-flung places, not our border, not our hemisphere, not the western hemisphere. President Trump has established the Trump corollary of the Monroe doctrine, the Donroe Doctrine and the War Dept is implementing it as fast as we can.

Yup.

Yes. And we have to talk about this now, because talking about it is the first step to making it seem like a callous crime rather than a surprising emergency.

Trump gets angry at Fox News' Peter Doocy for asking about Russia helping Iran to kill Americans during his roundtable on college sports.

Trump: "What a stupid question that is to be asking at this time. We're talking about something else."

Priorities for the US Commander in Chief.

Hey @markhamillofficial.bsky.social

Any way you might lend a hand?

E. None of the above!

Ben Stiller is calling out the White House after it used a clip from Tropic Thunder in a video promoting the Iran war.

“We never gave you permission and have no interest in being part of your propaganda machine. War is not a movie,” Stiller wrote.

Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"

"I hope you are impressed," he said to me. "How do you like the performance? I mean, Venezuela is obvious. This might be even better. How do you like the performance?"

"How do you like the performance?"

An illegal war for the sake of spectacle and the amusement of POTUS.

CNN: Approval for President Trump's East Wing ballroom project – from a government commission that oversees planning for federal buildings and land in the nation's capital – is delayed after it received over 32,000 comments from the public overwhelmingly opposing the construction.

This— *motions everywhere*
This is why no one is supposed to be above the law.
Placing someone above the law provides ample room for lawlessness.

Mark Kelly to Undersecretary of Defense Elbridge Colby: "I'm trying to understand whether you believe Iran can be primarily contained by our regional partners, which is what you wrote a few weeks ago, or is it imminent threat to the US as President Trump just told the American people? Can't be both"

It is imperative that we maintain hope even when the
harshness of reality may suggest the opposite.

after absolutely eviscerating Kristi Noem and calling for her resignation, Tillis is applauded. He thens threatens to hold up nominees if she doesn't stop stonewalling him. My God.

Current events confirm the achieved wisdom of time-honored classics in the social sciences.

I'm retired & have not been in the classroom since 2020, so I don't have any files.

If I recall correctly, it was a very challenging task for many students, especially if there was more than one way/order to prove the identity. Maybe the ones I used just had too many steps. 🤷‍♀️

I still can’t believe we have a Fox News host running our military.

This.

The outcome of NEVER demanding accountability.

Minnesota would like a word.

This 28 second clip alone could help to bring down the US President.

Trump clearly says this "war" is "not for now", showing there is no immediate risk by Iran. That means, as per the War Powers Act 1973, he has broken the law by not gaining Congress's approval for this action.

I did something like this one!

Our hearts grieve for these service members killed and those fighting for their lives. It’s a vital reminder that our troops are the ones that take on the risk and bear the sacrifices, not the decision makers.

Thinking of all the military members serving in these operations. They courageously go where duty calls. Their sacrifices represent the best of us and they deserve leaders of integrity.
