Aside from everything else, ISIS is a big fan of public executions. Their goal is to destroy our way of life and make us more like them, ultimately they believe we either accept their belief system or we die. This is a step in that direction. Making Hason's death public is a win for ISIS ideology.

The CDC just re-opened a previously shelved study that would withhold the hepatitis B vaccine from children in Guinea-Bissau, despite decades of evidence showing it is safe and effective. This is a violation of human rights, using “science” to harm some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

I think a lot of us underestimated how good solar would get. Modern arrays convert 20% of sunlight to electricity. Plants struggle to achieve 2% with photosynthesis. Suck it, plants.

No matter how war in Ukraine ends, they can never trust the USA to have their backs and keep it commitments. They must develop a nuclear weapons program to indefinitely postpone any further aggression by Russia. And same for Taiwan. They essentially had a nuke in late 80s then shut down program.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

The bill that just passed is devastating, esp for rural America. Millions will lose healthcare access entirely. Hundreds of rural hospitals will close. Electricity prices will rise, grid stability will worsen. ICE's budget is now larger than FBI & DEA combined. Masked kidnappings are just the start.

What an impoverished vision of education Khan has--it's nothing but "classroom management" and content delivery. It's profoundly anti-student; it willfuly disregards everything we know about promoting their success in favor of techbro platitudes and a dilettante's understanding of "learning."
