The βchilling effectsβ of the Trump administrationβs immigration crackdown has led to declining enrollment and more absences, officials say.
Florida school enrollment is expected to be down by about 46,000 students this year. State demographers, in a January report, blamed the βchilling effectsβ of Trumpβs immigration policies as a leading cause for the plunge.

War never makes the world safer. Communities will be left with collective trauma long after the headlines move on. Childrenβs nervous systems will remain in survival mode years after a ceasefire. War externalizes its costs onto the most vulnerable β and yet someone makes their billions.

BREAKING: Footage that has just confirmed that TRUMP LIED and it was a US Tomahawk missile that hit the girlsβ in southern Iran killing 180 people, most of which were children.

I note in passing that thereβs no dispute that the United States βtorture[s], rape[s] and murder[s]β as a matter of policy. So that cannot be way Miller treats others as βsavagesβ. The salient features come down to race, nationality, and religion, again, no dispute on these points

I suppose with Miller the modern version is no longer modernising and civilising the βsavageβ through oppression, but obliterating them with bombs, since they would do the same to us, if they had a chance. We must act first. They are, after all, βsavagesβ
