I remember trying to warn our classmates that Bush’s war machine didn’t care about their future and that this was, like, THE one test you could choose not to take! Anyway, good luck to anyone else trying to escape their 17 year-old selves these days.

My friend and I were the only students in our tiny class of ~30 to opt-out and make THE BIGGEST show out of it. George Bush’s war was just getting started and we wore matching β€œdumb & dumber” shirts (ft Bush 1 & 2) that we bought near Battery Park on a music field trip a year earlier

I was in high school in the immediate aftermath of β€œNo Child Left Behindβ€œ which included a provision that mandated schools hand over student data to the US military for recruitment. Much of this data came in the form of the ASVAB test.

DHS repeatedly said that an aggressive apartment raid in Chicago last fall was prompted by intel on a gang takeover.

Documents show the real story behind the raid was to target alleged squatters β€” with the landlord's blessing.

ICE under Trump 2.0 built an unprecedented media operation - deploying videographers to raids, pumping out edgy social posts, swiping pop music for hype videos - and the main metric for evaluating its impact shows that Americans now hate ICE more than ever

White House stalls release of approved US science budgets The US Congress rejected sweeping cuts to science agencies. But the NIH, the NSF and NASA have had their spending slowed.

Congress rejected massive cuts to US science budgets for 2026, but much of the money still isn’t flowing to researchers.

The culprit? The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is quietly slow-walking the release of funds. πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡
