The next redistricting battle might be who is counted in state legislative districts A Republican push to alter the census may lead to a radical shift in redistricting for state legislatures — drawing districts that don't take into account children and non-U.S. citizen adults.

Still crazy that the president’s lawyer spent two days with Ghislaine Maxwell, she “cleared” him of wrongdoing and was almost immediately transferred to a more pleasant prison and nobody in the administration will explain it and the media acts like two large dots are just impossible to connect.

This is the hardest time of the year for me. Getting to work an hour earlier is the worst.

Vigil for people over profit. Madison Indiana, broadway street fountain at 5 PM Sunday March 8th

If you happen to be in Madison Indiana, maybe I’ll see you there

"War is mankind's most tragic and stupid folly; to seek or advise its deliberate provocation is a black crime against all men. Though you follow the trade of the warrior, you do so in the spirit of Washington -- not of Genghis Khan. For Americans, only threat to our way of life justifies resort to conflict." Graduation Exercises at the United States Military Academy, 6/3/47 "Possibly my hatred of war blinds me so that I cannot comprehend the arguments they adduce. But, in my opinion, there is no such thing as a preventive war. Although this suggestion is repeatedly made, none has yet explained how war prevents war. Worse than this, no one has been able to explain away the fact that war creates the conditions that beget war." Remarks at Carnegie Institute, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, 10/19/50 [DDE's Pre-Presidential Papers, Principal File, Box

Was browsing the Eisenhower Library site this morning trying to find a quote I remembered.

President Eisenhower, WW2 military hero:

“In my opinion, there is no such thing as a preventive war… none has yet explained how war prevents war.”

Tell Congress: Impeach DHS Secretary Kristi Noem Contact Congress today!

🚨 Kristi Noem just spent TWO DAYS dodging real accountability on Capitol Hill.

This isn't leadership. This is criminal negligence.

IMPEACH KRISTI NOEM NOW.

The Trump regime has abandoned the constitution:

- declared war without Congressional authorization

- ignoring multiple court orders

- impounding Congressional authorized funds

- ignoring the freedom of speech and assembly

It’s a lawless regime that has no legitimacy.

That would be awesome!

The dread is real. We miss y’all.

When I feel like my job is just a job, I’m less stressed.

🗣️ SOUTH DAKOTA!!!

After three years, Rep Kadyn Wittman’s free school lunch bill IS HEADING TO THE SENATE!!!!

I just don’t think the opposition party should feel it necessary to be more careful in criticizing a war than the party in power is in starting one.

The president of the United States killed children to distract from raping children.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1.5 trillion.

Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.

Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.

The military industrial complex is cheering today.

Then what happened?

“Remember what I said…” Yeah. About that. It’s almost impressive how confidently wrong that prediction aged.

Boycott OpenAI! OpenAI and its CEO, Sam Altman, announced Friday that the company reached an agreement with the Department of Defense to deploy its AI models on a classified network just hours after Trump ordered federal agencies to phase out rival Anthropic.

Aug. 19, 1953: U.S. and Britain Topple Democratically Elected Government of Iran Democratically elected Iranian Premier Mohammad Mossadegh was removed from power in a coup.

Trump: "For 47 years the Iranian regime has chanted 'Death to America' and waged an unending campaign of bloodshed and mass murder targeting the U.S. ..."
No mention of what happened 73 years ago, when the U.S. overthrew Iran's democratic government, installing the Shah's murderous dictatorship.

They can’t read a word problem and know what’s important and what isn’t. There’s no connection. It seems to me, k12 learning objectives can, and maybe are, just become local party loyalty tests and a way to cause more class separation.
