Republicans have the majority in the Senate and House and they're telling you they cannot rein Trump in, so stop giving them power. They're telling you they refuse to use it.

Teacher posts video of mold destroying everything she paid for in her classroom… and gets fired for it.

A teacher came back from summer break to find her entire classroom covered in mold.
Her chair. Her ottoman. Picture frames. Posters. Books she kept neat all year. All ruined because there was no AC running in the building over the summer.

She said it out loud: teachers are the ones funding these classrooms in the first place, and they do not get paid enough for this.

Then the video got taken down. And according to multiple posts circulating, she was fired for sharing it.

She was not complaining about the school’s budget. She was showing the damage to items she paid for with her own money so kids would have a decent classroom.

This is the system. Teachers spend their own paychecks to make rooms livable, then face consequences for documenting when the building itself is unsafe.

Parents deserve to know what their kids are walking into. Teachers should not lose their jobs for saying it.

@beefcakeafloat @Favwontmiss Can you recode the seamless experience so it doesn't require ignoring the people and world around you while you stare at a screen?

[#GoBlue Bearman @2KoP]

@Favwontmiss I just proposed putting typewriters back in schools. No AI, not cheating, no bad handwriting. Kids all have keyboarding skills.

@MaureenLangloss I thought it was just me. Hard for a writer to think in pictures on Insta. At least it's hard for this writer. It doesn't seem like the right venue (write venue?)

Wall Street firms can pay Truth Social $100,000 a month for early access to market-moving presidential posts.⁣

High-frequency traders get a head start. The money flows to a company where the president is the major shareholder.⁣

Trump’s New CDC Head Said ‘Abortion Surveillance’ Will Be A Critical Focus. “Abortion surveillance is absolutely a critical component of what the CDC is currently doing,” Schwartz responded.

“I also want to make sure that certain states are not conflating emergency services and hiding abortions in that emergency services case definition,” she added. “We need to make sure we’re pulling out true abortions and making sure that we’re really having clear case definitions regarding abortions so the data is actually accurate.” https://t.co/kO0eqqeS6f

Hear me out. Typewriters in school. No #AI, no janky penmanship from kids who never learned to write by hand. They all have keyboarding skills. Typewriters in the classroom. Typewriter labs. No cheating. Actual proof of learning and original thought.

[#GoBlue Bearman @2KoP]

@DarrellRoot @sabrinablittle @HiyaYellowBoy The only "D" I ever got in school was in penmanship in second grade. I was so upset I fell off a chair and cracked my head on the edge of the chair. My HS graduation gift of a Smith-Corona electric typewriter saved me so n college. Replace Chromebooks with typewriters.

Since Trump is spreading the lie that gas is $1.98 a gallon for regular now I’m curious how much it is where you live. You can just put the amount and not the State unless you want to.

The Incident: On April 25, 1980, the Trump Organization executed an eviction against Mary Filan, a 74-year-old widow who was partially paralyzed from a recent stroke.
The Location: The eviction occurred at her rent-controlled apartment in Flushing, Queens, where she had lived for over 30 years.
The Dispute: The Trump Organization claimed she owed four months of back rent. However, Filan maintained that her rent was fully paid, stating that her last bill was a minor balance of $10.20, which she had already cleared.
The Aftermath: City marshals and moving crews removed her belongings—including her furniture and jewelry—leaving her sitting on a laundry hamper in the apartment. Due to the trauma and her medical condition, neighbors and city social services arranged for her immediate admission to a local hospital.
Joe Conason for the Village Voice in May 1980 under the headline "Trump Evicts Stroke Victim, 74." The case also received brief coverage in The New York Times. When questioned at the time, a spokesperson for the Trump Organization stated that management handled those issues and that they "don't get involved with individual cases."

As contractors descend on Big Bend, more than 140 river outfitters, local businesses and recreation organizations are urging Texas leaders to stop CBP's plans to cut off access to the Rio Grande and blast new roads through Big Bend National Park.

Signatories include virtually every local river outfitter, Texas Backcountry Hunters & Anglers, American Whitewater, Big Bend Tourism Alliance, Patagonia, Outdoor Alliance and more than 130 others.

CBP's current plans show them cutting off river access with steel "vehicle barriers" at almost every put-in and takeout along the Rio Grande in the region.

The letter warns that CBP's current plans "would end commercial and recreational river use in Big Bend National Park and along the Rio Grande Wild and Scenic River, crippling local businesses and the regional tourism economy for no demonstrable security benefit."

Nobody wants this destruction to unfold. Texas leadership must step up to save their state's rural economies, natural heritage and most beloved national park.
