US President back-pedalling furiously after his administration treated some innocent hard-working Koreans like they were innocent hard-working Latinos.

Stop what youโ€™re doing and listen to this warning from Marc Elias about the real reason Trump deployed his National Guard in D.C.

After GOP holdouts flipped their votes, the big ugly bill cleared a major hurdle in the House. As final debate began, Hakeem Jeffries took the floor just after 6 a.m. on Thursday โ€” and promised to make his time count.

Everything thatโ€™s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Message from the Sackets Harbor Principal
As the principal of these students, I need to speak plainly.
Our three students who were taken by ICE were doing everything right. They had declared themselves to immigration judges, attended court on their assigned dates, and were following the legal process.
They are not criminals. They have no ties to any criminal activity. They are loved in their classrooms. Their family has worked at the nearby "Old McDonald's" petting zoo and dairy farm for 15 years.
They lived in a house on the same road as a home ICE had a warrant for. The fact that ICE went door to door is unfathomable. The fact that our students were handcuffed and put into the same van as the alleged criminal from down the street is unconscionable. When I think of my third grader's experience, my stomach twists and it is hard to breathe.
We are in shock-and it is that shared shock that has unified our community in the call for our students' release.
We are in direct communication with our students. Let me be clear: they are not
"being medically evaluated." They are not being "questioned as potential victims."
Calling a detention center by another name does not change what it is.
We deserve better than spin and misinformation. My teachers and my students are already hurting.
Please, think about how long every hour feels for a third grader in a detention center.
The wait had already been too long a week ago.
I have no other agenda. Please release my students and their mother back to our community.

elon musk post: when will social security run out of money, if nothing is fixed?

Warren Gunnels reply: if we do nothing, it can pay 100% of benefits until 2035 and 83% after that. if we passed bernies social scurity bill to scrap the cap, it will be solvent for 75 years, benefits will go up by $2,400 and 91% won't pay a penny more in texes you greedy south african billionaire.

Over 100,000 seats are up for grabs in 2025 โ€” governors, mayors, city councils, state representatives, judges, school boards, and more.

Taking back our power starts now.

Skola | Study in Europe

My daughter & son have earned their bachelors and masters in Europe. Both are staying in Europe & my daughter just launched her start-up Skola.be to help US students find English speaking programs in Europe & to navigate the move to Europe. The cost savings are huge. They are both debt free.

NAACP lists companies that dump DEI in its tactical spending guide for Black Americans The NAACP wants Black Americans to steer their buying power toward corporations that havenโ€™t pulled back from diversity programs under conservative pressure.

The NAACP is keeping a list. Spend accordingly!
BAD (killed DEI initiatives): Loweโ€™s, Target, Walmart, Amazon, Meta, McDonaldโ€™s, and Tractor Supply
GOOD: Costco, Apple, Ben & Jerryโ€™s, Delta Airlines, e.l.f. Cosmetics and JPMorgan Chase.
