What does a sniper position at Memorial Circle actually defend against? Not China. Not a submarine. Not a missile. It overlooks a bridge, a traffic circle, and the front door of the National Mall. Those are places where Americans march. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

How do we make teaching a sustainable career? We need: 🎒Education budget tied to the defense budget 🎒Teacher minimum wage 🎒Strong teacher unions 🎒Investment in the paraprofessionals that a kid needs to be their best learner and so teachers can focus on teaching

Yes, what his happening in Gaza is "An Israeli Genocide." But it is more accurately described as "An American-Sponsored Genocide." As with all things, follow the money.

You can't blame Ed Sheeran for caving in to American stadium owners I suppose. I mean, take these guys in the 60s, they refused to play to racially-segregated audiences in stadiums in the southern states of the USA and who remembers them now?

Extremely important story. Predictive policing is a euphemistic way of saying DHS is doing pre-crime, because of its improper access to your data. As @jakelaperruque.bsky.social says here, this takes a sledgehammer to the concept of probable cause of the commission of a crime. It can’t be reformed.

Not BREAKING NEWS because the Trump admin has been deleting and altering federal datasets for over a year. You can argue about policy. But when the government starts eliminating the data we use to determine whether those policies are actually working, that deserves a hell of a lot more attention.

Chinese cars could be huge in U.S., and that’s the problem, officials say
An existing 100% tariff and 2027 Commerce Department restrictions on connected vehicles from China make it impractical to import Chinese vehicles today. A Senate bill would codify that exclusion.

Let's get real. 1.3 million bottles in a day sounds like a lot. But that's just 78 seconds of global production! 630,000 people turned out to do it. If even a fraction of them spent the day lobbying for single-use plastic regulation, we might actually get somewhere.
