This conservative county lost teachers after administration cut key grant A cut to federal grants for teacher merit pay and training has left Montgomery County in North Carolina with fewer teachers and fewer resources to attract them.

As part of a $600 million slash to teacher-training grants, the Education Department took a $21 million award North Carolina had planned to use to provide bonuses and training officials hoped would lure and retain teachers.

Butler County, Ohio is run by a sheriff that is the biggest Trump pick-me. Jones is an embarrassment. #ICE #Ohio

Tell your husband that you didn't accidentally drop the soldering iron on the bed while lazily fixing your son's gaming headset. That would be reckless! Instead, tell him you've picked up smoking.

People on TikTok are reporting ICE raids happening in small cities in various states.

To get past algorithmic censorship, they’re writing down the information on paper and holding up and shuffling through the handwritten signs as they talk about pretend subjects like shopping, food, and animals.

ADL Changes Its Tune on Elon Musk Amid Salute Backlash The organization’s CEO had a blistering response as Musk made a series of labored Nazi-themed β€œjokes.”

When it quacks like a duck ...

The ADL changed its tune after seeing what everyone else already saw. A gesture with that much force is very deliberate.

Additionally, prioritize your sanity. As an RPG writer, I'm well aware of the importance of escapism.

It’s beyond time we stop arguing over whether or not these Nazis are Nazis. It’s obvious, that’s a waste of time, just keeps us arguing with over it while they install Fascism more. Its time that we have to actively oppose it
