A Tennessee bill would take the right to education away from undocumented children. The Heritage Foundation is pushing it in other states.
Tennessee wants to ban undocumented children from access to a free public education, and turn school administrators into immigration informants. The Heritage Foundation wants to take that plan national. Read my latest for @theintercept.com:

Trump Has Been Sued 198 Times for Withholding Funding. It Hasnβt Stopped Him. (Gift Article)
Immigration demands for highway dollars, D.E.I. rules for homeless grants: how Trump has tried to wield spending to get his way.
We've been tracking nearly 200 lawsuits against the Trump administration over its attempts to leverage federal funding to impose the president's agenda.
The most startling pattern: The administration seems entirely undeterred when it loses in court.

Itβs not like any god visits unambiguous consequences upon the villains that just make shit up in their name. These malcontents just get to muck about, leaving chaos and destruction in their wake, growing fat off their unpunished sins

Stuff like this is one of the legion of reasons I know Iβll never be religious again. Thereβs never any realized accountability! Thereβs the unproven metaphysical hypothesis that your earthly sins are called to account when you die, but theres another hypothesis that you could just make shit up!

The people crave analog experiences; how tactile a game is is a part of how it plays. The plastic feel of a controller is as much a part of the experience as what's on the screen, and so are the papers and dice of a ttrpg. And the d20 feels the best.

*stabs self in the eye* Oh my god, the quality of my vision has somehow taken a turn for the worst! I need to convene a panel of doctors to explore why this happened and how we can course-correct. Also, since when did my face start leaking blood? This isnβt a natural, normal process right?

Itβs amazing the amount of money and time some businesses will spend trying to demystify what has been in front of their faces, plain as day, the entire time. People stopped fucking with Target when they abandoned DEI initiatives. Itβs not market forces lol. Itβs principled customers.

Target was a place I enjoyed. Totally fine the way it was. I was a target demographic with my new baby etc.
Capitulating to a gross admin is what turned us off and "dolling up" the place won't be the way out.

Epsteinβs circle doesnβt need to have consumed babies in any way to be wholly evil. They still committed a litany of sexual crimes, as well as being accessories to murder, market manipulation, and overall the intentional destabilization of several societies. Thatβs quite enough

It comforts people to believe that systematic sexual exploitation of the young and powerless is only done by abnormal freaks with abnormal desires instead of normal people with abnormal power.

For months, @jacksonwryan.com has been looking into why so many video games sites have become full of gambling and casino stories, unusual author images, and, most recently, the use of AI. We've connected these sites to Clickout Media. Here's what we've learned.

If you look at the list of peptides, one of the peptides on that list (Melanotan II) is one where my husband treated someone in the ER who lost the ability to speak in words for half a day after injecting it.

This thread nails it. Competence is completely out the window this time around in favor of obedience and loyalty, and weβre seeing this play out across the government in so many terrible ways.

In trump term 1 there was this flawed but pervasive media narrative that while trump made shit up as he went along there was a federal senior appointee machinery underneath, chugging along with a basic plan
In term 2, everyone from Stephen miller to Rubio to Hegseth is also like trump justβ¦

Five key impacts of Brexit five years on
The UK left the European Union on 31 January 2020.
Always worth noting that while the politicians that instigate disastrous national policies largely based on racism come and go, the effects remain. For instance: Brexit has been shit from the getgo and ever since. Happy Thursday! www.bbc.com/news/article...
