I have been using Singapore math as a supplement to ( both of our ) kids public school education and it’s incredible how well it works. I am dumbfounded it’s not a lot more common to be honest.

Trump Hits Colombia With Tariffs in Feud Over Military Deportation Flights (Gift Article) Gustavo Petro said on X that the United States should not treat Colombian migrants as criminals and that he had already turned away U.S. military flights carrying deportees.

When they want to make sure you understand that dehumanization is the point:

Colombia: We will take our citizens back, we don't want them shackled in military aircraft and not provided basic necessities (water).

The US: 25 % Tariffs immediately. 50% next week.

We just got a notice from SFUSD that ICE was accosting middle school students on the muni bus that goes by our house ( we have no school busses in SF so the kids all take public buses) and I just got a notice about immigration status / ICE raids from our daughter's elementary school.

Did Trump's executive order just make everyone in the U.S. female? All Americans are now AFBT (assigned female by Trump).

The future really is female!
