Tapping the sign again and again and again

Such double segregation by race and poverty is systematically linked to unequal educational opportunities and outcomes. Research has shown for a half century that children learn more when they are in schools with better prepared classmates and excellent, experienced teachers, schools with strong well-taught curriculum, stability and high graduation and college going rates? Concentrated poverty schools, which are usually minority schools, tend to have a high turnover of students and teachers, less experienced teachers, much less prepared classmates, and a more limited curriculum often taught at much lower levels because of the weak previous education of most students. They have much higher dropout rates and few students prepared for success in college. The academic climate tends to be very different.
The neighborhood the school serves is likely to have far fewer resources for the positive and educational out-of-school and summer experiences that enrich the learning of middle class students and neighborhoods. Students in segregated impoverished areas tend to experience serious summer learning loss.

I cannot describe the brokenness I felt reading this from the Haaretz piece. The hostages were betrayed by everyone; Israeli leaders, the diaspora leaders & their orgs, the entire pro-Israel industrial complex, and by far and away the millions of people who cried "hostages" to support a genocide.

"He told me that in the first stage, they had no problem releasing all civilians without anything in return," Mashharawi recounts. "I swear, those were his exact words: all civilians, without anything in return. They had only one condition: They wanted us to bring in an agreed-upon mediator as quickly as possible, so that negotiations could immediately begin over everything else – the release of soldiers and officers in exchange for Palestinian prisoners, and then the issue of the blockade on Gaza."

Diesel fuel in the US doesn’t come from Russia. We refine 96% of it ourselves, import 4% from Canada, per the DoE’s own statistics. Ukraine hitting Russian refineries only helped world oil prices trend *down* until Trump attacked Iran, by causing a glut of crude, as price records show:

Ukrainian drone strikes on Russia refineries against Brent Crude and US diesel prices by month, January 2021 - August 2026
Data sources: Ukrainian refinery strikes collected by Kostiantyn Hoholenko on Bluesky Brent Crude daily prices from Business Insider Markets
US diesel weekly prices from US Federal Reserve Database (FRED)

(Oil and fuel prices spike when Russia invades Ukraine in late February 2022, trend steadily down again as Ukraine sends drones against Russian refineries in increasing numbers, then spike once more when the US attacks Iran in late February 2026)

This is yet another telling example of the Trump regime’s racism. There’s no pretense here of targeting criminals - the usual excuse for mass deportations. DHS is specifically encouraging Haitian “doctors, lawyers, scholars and engineers” to leave. Any decent society would value these people.

DHS encourages “doctors, lawyers, scholars and engineers” to leave with some sort of $3,000 payout, its naked racism.
