This was an execution. A murder by masked agents followed immediately by a cover up with zero attempt to investigate first.

Imagine a world where an elected Republican official somewhere actually asked for a complete and thorough investigation by unbiased independent investigators after a federal agent killed an American citizen instead of reflexively defending the government.

Walz: "They killed a man, created chaos, pushed down protesters, threw gas indiscriminately and then left the scene and then we're left to clean up. I understand the anger."

The gun was removed by agents from his waistband - he was never pointing it at them. He was already disarmed when they fired "defensive shots," killing the man. They then fired several shots at his lifeless body.

The official policy of the government of the United States of America is that they will murder anyone they want, that they will tell any lie necessary to justify that murder, and that no one who resists them has any rights they are bound to respect.

The Trump administration’s war-memorial agency removed Dutch plaques honoring Black American servicemembers who fought and died as liberators in World War II, an act that coincided with Washington’s rollback of diversity, equity, and inclusion programs.

The more I talk about gun violence, the less I have to say Child psychologist Ellen Braaten wasn't an expert on gun violence when she received a call from a TV producer in the wake of the Sandy Hook tragedy. But I did know how to comfort and advise parents af...

Essay: Child psychologist Ellen Braaten often does media appearances, trying to reassure parents and kids in the wake of school shootings. She used to tell her audience that the adults in their lives do everything they can to keep them safe, but she doesn't say that anymore. We haven’t. We don’t.

Trump threatening members of Congress not to sign the Epstein files discharge petition saying it would be a β€œhostile act” against him is definitely something an innocent person would do. And scheduling a military flyover in the middle of the survivor press conference is also totally normal behavior.

Trump Justice Dept.Β considers removing key check on lawmaker prosecutions The Justice Department’s Public Integrity Section is charged with ensuring cases against elected officials are not politically motivated. The Trump administration is considering changing that.

What could go wrong?
β€œIf adopted, the changes would remove a layer of review intended to ensure that cases against public officials are legally sound and not politically motivated.”

The STEMscopes curriculum was also developed at Rice Univ, they remain an investor, submitted β€œresearch” showing success was conducted by Rice (actually just 1 district that didn’t use STEMscopes as primary texts), and their materials review was submitted to…..Rice.

No conflicts there.

β€˜It’s the angriest and most disappointed I’ve ever seen our teachers’: Williamson County school board adopts new science curriculum, rejects committee recommendation Williamson County Schools has faced some resistance after the board adopted a new science curriculum that rejected the recommendations of a committee and most teachers within the school system.

Last Monday, board members voted seven to two to adopt a K-8 science curriculum called STEMscopes, which only 7% of K-second grade teachers, about 10% of third-fifth grade teachers, and zero middle school teachers recommended.

This is such a dishonest statement. If Jack John$on was really thinking about that single Mom in Memphis, he could have written a Bill with her in mind that would’ve passed with bipartisan support.

AFP & Betsy DeVos aren’t writing PAC checks for that though.
