β€˜Not going anymore’: Immigration enforcement hits Florida school enrollment, attendance The β€œchilling effects” of the Trump administration’s 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 β€œchilling effects” of Trump’s 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. Children’s 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 girls’ in southern Iran killing 180 people, most of which were children.

The fact that Trump has blatantly lied about this should have every single American questioning why he lied to us all.

Chris Murphy: "I think it's likely the United States that carried out this attack on this school. I think it's unforgivable under any circumstances, but the fact this was one of our first targeting decisions speaks to the incompetence of our leadership at the Dept of Defense."

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say β€œSend me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.

How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

I note in passing that there’s no dispute that the United States β€˜torture[s], rape[s] and murder[s]’ as a matter of policy. So that cannot be way Miller treats others as β€˜savages’. 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 β€˜savage’ 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, β€˜savages’

If Caroline Elkins’ book, Legacy of Violence, means anything, it’s that the practice of systemic, unspeakable violence comes draped in the language of Enlightenment values, which must be forced on the savages to make them human, like us. They will eventually appreciate our efforts at civilising them

And I can concede that it may be the preponderance of Western sources on BlueSky but I’m seeing a lot of reporting on European immigrants who are stuck in the Gulf. But there are thousands if not tens of thousands of ordinary people from the global majority who are especially stuck.

Wait…

Donald Trump tapped the only sitting Senator without a bachelor’s degree as DHS Secretary?

Markwayne Mullin dropped out of college and then went and got an associate’s over a decade later?

What could go wrong?
