Only Criminals Don’t Want To Be Gassed By The Government The Tellingly Pathetic Case Against Alejandro Orellana

Read Ken White. It'll disturb you (even if you're already disturbed).

From Oklahoma’s state superintendent of public instruction.

When you’re nearly dead-last in public education, but you have no desire to substantively improve public education, you need dramatic partisan proclamations to convey that you’re scoring victories for Oklahomans.

An Eastern Bluebird to start your Saturday.

Florida's literary inquisition In a chilling meeting of the Florida State Board of Education last week, a school district superintendent was publicly browbeaten and repeatedly threatened with criminal prosecution.

1. In an extraordinary public flogging, the Florida State Board of Education repeatedly threatened a school superintendent with criminal prosecution unless he removed a Judy Blume book from all library shelves.

One member called the district librarians "child abusers."

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

9/ This thread was composed using blueskythreads.xyz

8/ At the time, and even since, I haven’t seen many older couples whose lives reflect that kind of connection—a valuation of, a love for, the whole person.

This anniversary, I’m deeply grateful that I have exactly that kind of relationship with my sweetie, Merna Eisenbraun.

7/ I don’t remember who they were, but that action had a large effect on me: I thought, “I hope to have a relationship such as that when I’m married and old—a relationship that retains significant affection and that continues to value touch."

6/ They were probably in their 60s—quite old from the standpoint of someone who was maybe not yet 10 years old; they were walking one evening toward a lake and onto a small dock, holding hands.6

5/ Sometime in my early years—and I think it was in the U.P. of Michigan, where we lived at the time—a missionary couple were visiting the small church that my father pastored.

4/ We’ve changed; we’ve grown. Sometimes, the growth has not been at the same speed, Merna growing faster than I was or vice versa. But we have grown, and for that I am very grateful.

3/ Thankfully, we are—and, more importantly, we are <not>—the same people who said all those things to each other on June 8,1969.

2/ 56 years ago, Merna and I chose to marry (active voice) each other, committing to spend, so far as we could tell, the remainder of our lives together. Of course, we could not know then just what that would mean; no one can, because no one can see the future.

🧵 56 years.

56 years ago today, Merna and I were married (passive voice).

There is one place, however, where Musk, with the help of his minions, achieved his goals. He did indeed shred U.S.A.I.D. Though a rump operation is now operating inside the State Department, the administration says that it has terminated more than 80 percent of U.S.A.I.D. grants. Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Musk’s foray into politics accomplished.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty.

“thats not what i asked” is a phrase that should be said more in white house press briefings

Supreme Court: The government can shoot or disappear people at will as an exercise of unitary executive power, but no, obviously, that wouldn’t include us, and frankly we’re kind of disappointed you asked.

He missed the deadline to submit a single form 10 years ago, amidst family grief when his wife suffered a stillbirth. He did nothing illegal. Paid his taxes, completed citizenship documentation. But once you activate a police state, they don't care about individual circumstances.

SEC. 70302. RESTRICTION ON ENFORCEMENT. 20 No court of the United States may enforce a con21 tempt citation for failure to comply with an injunction or 22 temporary restraining order if no security was given when 23 the injunction or order was issued pursuant to Federal 24 Rule of Civil Procedure 65(c), whether issued prior to, on, 25 or subsequent to the date of enactment of this section.

House Republicans smuggled this👇attack on the federal judiciary into their reconciliation bill. Courts rarely require plaintiffs to post security, so this provision, if passed into law, would render a vast number of existing judgments—including Boasberg's contempt order—effectively unenforceable.

Seems to me that if there’s a senile guy doing nothing in particular the usual way and a senile guy setting everything on fire, the fire guy is the one who should be the focus of media inquiry

Moments like these are instructive. They demonstrate exactly how dishonest, dishonorable, and irredeemable these people are.

See the difference? 🤨

There it is, in a nutshell.

Now we have the answer. The original story was legit then Bezos backed down.

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

New images could change cancer diagnostics, but ICE detained the Harvard scientist who analyzes them Without scientist Kseniia Petrova’s expertise, no one can fully unlock the data’s potential, putting crucial advancements in early cancer detection at risk.

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago:

—Pioneering cancer researcher;
—*Arrested* at airport in Boston;
—Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana;
—"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research.
