How Trump’s Threat to Invoke Insurrection Act Differs From JFK’s Use in Mississippi The military has been used about 30 times since 1807 to enforce civil rights and quell riots. Can they be used to quash political protests?

Even as tensions seem to have calmed in Minnesota, one fact remains clear: President Donald Trump, and any future president, has the power to send troops into local communities in an instant, and without consulting Congress. A court may be asked to rule if such an action is legal.

Many Americans say the U.S. is not a moral leader but want it to be: NPR/Ipsos poll Commissioned by NPR in December in partnership with Ipsos, the share of people who believe the U.S. is a moral leader dropped to 39% from 60% in a similar poll conducted in 2017.

Meet the NYC teacher who helped turn around her high school with small group math instruction Lauren Brady, a winner of the Math for America’s 2025 Muller Award, has taught at Park East High School for two decades.

Small group instruction transformed this once-struggling high school's math program. Here's how.

Annie and Lakeesha struggle in school. AI teacher assistants treated them very differently. A Common Sense Media study found that prominent teacher assistants that use AI generated recommendations that appeared to be rooted in racial stereotypes based on students’ names. About a third of teachers report using AI weekly, according to a recent survey.

Common Sense Media found that while these tools could help teachers save time and streamline routine paperwork, AI-generated content could also promote bias in lesson planning and classroom management recommendations.

Good.

A teacher I work with moved her family to North Carolina for college for her kids. She still works here, while her husband and kids live there. It is also college costs driving people out of NJ.

How New York Keeps Its Unfiltered Water Safe: Spending Millions on Land The city has bought more than 125,000 acres of land to provide a buffer around water reservoirs. It’s much cheaper than spending billions on filtration systems, officials say.

A reminder that less than two months ago, the Trump administration abruptly ended the federal government's 27-year practice of collecting data on hunger and food insecurity.

Trump Is Forcing Millions to Make Cruel Choices Do you go to your asylum check-in and risk capture by ICE? Without SNAP, what will you give up to feed your kids? How will you pay for healthcare?

Trump's deportation policies are creating a damned-if-you-do-damned-if-you-don’t conundrum for millions of immigrants in the US, writes @sashaabramsky.bsky.social.

Why just 100%? Why not 110%? That is 10% more? This guy just makes stuff up, with no math behind his numbers, and we will all be more miserable because of it.

What she doesn't realize/acknowledge, is that poking a little fun while people are in fear and suffering, is sadistic narcissism and is not how any leader should behave.

Trump's Putin policy is a danger for Europe, historian says Historian Christian Goeschel tells Euronews that Donald Trump's attempts to appease Vladimir Putin over the war in Ukraine could prove "catastrophic".

What do some researchers call disinformation? Anything but disinformation. The label has become so contentious in the United States that some researchers who study the harmful effects of falsehoods are abandoning it altogether.

Let her win or lose in fair and open primaries. The democrats need to show that the process of the primaries is not rigged after 16 and 24!

How Musk, Trump, and your boss learned to hate democracy Work is a dictatorship. Is the government next?

DOGE's moves are far more familiar to the average American worker than you might think.

It's downsizing. It’s layoffs. It’s control by one annoying guy who, for some reason, is richer than you and is convinced that “working the weekend is a superpower.”

It’s government run like a business.

This was the goal to begin with, to leave a wake of destruction in the federal government.

Bernie Sanders Is Showing Democrats How It’s Done The Vermont senator is taking his anti-Trump tour to red America—and it’s a smash hit.

Democrats "may find themselves quickly back in business if they can simply swallow their pride and follow Bernie’s lead."

Al Green was right, he just needed some powerful looking Dems backing him up. Of course not right, but we live in sad times in this country. The Dems have the liberal elite votes, they need to fight for the middle class voters w/ a WWF approach, to match Trump's WWF villainy style. #idiocracy

The symbolism of Al Green is of being old and needing a cane. The Republicans put their tallest, fiercest looking members of congress out front. The Dems need to fight back with the same symbolism, of youth and power, not old guys or feeble Pelosi. It is a political war for shallow American voters.

This is about survival and better for Ukraine than falling to the hands of the Russians. Will it start to sour Trump's love for Putin when we start losing potential wealth to the US? Also, Trump won't be around for too many years, next administration we renegotiate the deal.

We have to remember these are the same people that would rather have Trump style change over Bernie style change.

US joins Russia to vote against UN resolution condemning Russia’s war against Ukraine | CNN Politics The United States joined Russia to vote against a UN General Assembly resolution condemning Russia’s war against Ukraine Monday in a stunning shift from years of US policy.

For the US to side with Russia and North Korea to oppose a UN resolution condemning the illegal invasion of Ukraine defies all common sense and adds insult to the countless injuries suffered by the brave Ukrainian people. edition.cnn.com/2025/02/24/p...

This is clearly an attempt at mining what federal workers do for Musk's AI bots meant to take over federal jobs. I would recommend sending the most human things you do that can't be replaced by AI. This is not about justifying workers, it is about looking for workers to replace with AI bots.

How would this improve efficiency by having all federal workers email one person about their weekly work duties? Do Republican lawmakers not have the common sense to realize how utterly inefficient and stupid this is?

Elon Musk says federal workers must justify their work — or resign Some federal workers have already begun to receive an email asking them to detail what they did this week.

NEW: Elon Musk issues ultimatum to federal employees Saturday, saying that employees must respond to an email justifying the work they completed this week, or resign.

Greater than a sneaky bed wetter snowflake scared to use their real name.
