ALEX JEFFREY PRETTI. Gone, but never forgotten...

#RIP_Alex 💔

Naming someone is not doxxing. They aren’t undercover. They aren’t intelligence agents overseas. This is outrageous - we are supposed to be a free Republic and these people want an authoritarian police state. Lawsuits should be filed & ranking Dems in Congress should act.

AND IMPEACH AND REMOVE.

We need to clamor for that even if the votes aren't there—yet.

“.. Federal agents grab a woman to drag her away from her car, days after an ICE agent fatally shot Renee Nicole Good, in Minneapolis, Minnesota.”

Maybe I'm a big dumb dumb, but everything else aside, if you shoot and kill the person driving a car towards you, isn't the car going to keep going towards you with no possibility of breaking or swerving? Like, that's exactly what happened after Ross shot Good.

AAAAAAAAHH

This is exactly right.

They haven't settled for dim brutes who blindly follow orders regardless of the law. That's what they want. That's what they got. There's no reforming or improving it now.

Democrats need to investigate, defund, and ultimately disband the president's brownshirt brigade.

AAAHHHH

When Renee Good said "I'm not mad at you" what the ICE goon heard was "I'm not scared of you."

That's what enraged him. The populace wasn't fully terrorized and cowed into submission yet, so he acted to make that happen.

No I said don’t tread on *me*. You can get treaded on.

The most enlightening and disappointing thing to come out of this ICE shooting is that the right legitimately does not give a fuck about human life if it harms their political narrative.

Watching people malign a 37 year old mother for being murdered by her country is insane.

Casino Royale

I like the cut of this fellow's jib.

After those results, the Democratic response to GOP pressure to cave on the shutdown should simply be

I don’t understand why anyone’s debating this — a Nazi tattoo is a non starter, full stop.

This is a race for a U.S. Senate seat. The bar for candidates to clear doesn’t have to be insanely high, but it should at least be off the ground

"Republicans run the entire government but can't keep it open"

That's it. That's the whole story.

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

It’s almost like there’s a pattern we should watch for more carefully.

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

Swalwell: He’s telling you not to see your neighbor being chased through a Home Depot parking lot because he’s just trying to work hard and provide for his family.

And he’s telling you not to see the drawing he made for Jeffrey Epstein.

I agree student engagement is key to good instruction—teachers should see their classroom as a stage— a performance for the mind, if you will. But I also always took issue with Sagan’s take. As a big Cosmos fan, this bit always struck me as well-intentioned, but also ignorant of the nature of kids.

As a 18 year long high school teacher who got his start as a district substitute for all grades, I’d argue that puberty is a defining factor of middle school student engagement and certainly helps to address Sagan’s observation. To ignore it as a factor seems silly. And “horrible” is Sagan’s term :)

Another“terrible thing” that happens between K &12 is called puberty.Suddenly, these curious, inquisitive minds have biological distractions that few classes can compete with as they once did. For evidence of this,observe a 5th grade classroom of eager young minds for a day-then spend a day in 7th.
