all of their ideas now are like “should we dissolve the government, imprison our opponents, and seize every lever of power in the country? we’re the good guys remember, if we don’t do this the bad guys will win (an election)” like they don’t even talk about healthcare anymore lol
At the Muslim youth center in New York, Mohammad Badawy said: “as a Muslim, my life’s mission is to fight the U.S government, the U.S army, and ICE until my last breath, that is my reason for existence.”
These people cannot stay here.
You missed the fact that school officials deceived this young girl and her parents, promising them that boys and girls would sleep on separate floors. It wasn’t until this 11-year-old girl was on the trip—far from home—that she discovered her expected bedmate was a boy.
She was then forced to stand up against school authorities and defend her own privacy in the moment, late at night. They initially treated her as if her concerns were not legitimate, moving her to a different bed in the room. This backfired when the other roommates wanted the boy to move beds too. So this little girl had to muster the courage to voice her concerns a second time. The school finally relented and moved her to another room, but told her to lie about the reason why.
Any reasonable person can see how outrageous this is. No child should have to defend her own privacy against a school policy that puts her in jeopardy. And no school district should make it a policy to deceive parents.
Furthermore: not all kids have the ability or opportunity to stand up for themselves. Another family in our lawsuit has a son whose sleeping arrangements and showers were supervised by a female (identifying as non-binary) at a week-long school camp. Several of the boys were so uncomfortable that they skipped showers and changed their clothes inside their sleeping bags.
This is inexcusable. It is adults’ responsibility to stand up for children—not children’s responsibility to stand up for themselves.
This could easily be avoided with a commonsense policy that allows parents to stay informed and opt their children out of mixed-sex sleeping arrangements ahead of time—protecting the privacy of ALL children involved. But despite our requests, the school district repeatedly refused to do this.
So yes, we sued. In fact, let me put every district in America on notice right now: if you treat students and parents this way, prepare for a lawsuit.
If British jews are to be held responsible for what happens in Gaza...then by the same reasoning British Muslims should be held responsible for the massacres of Christians by Muslims in Nigeria
Congrats, Illinois, on winning the one title no state should ever want: highest combined state and local tax burden in the country.
A median household forks over $13,099 a year straight to Springfield and City Hall. That’s 16.5% of every dollar earned and $4,472 (52%) above the national average.
Yet as lawmakers scramble through budget talks, progressives demand even more tax hikes on billionaires and corporations. You revel in the spending spree while working Illinoisans get bled dry by brutal property taxes, punishing sales taxes, and every creative fee you invent.
Other states look like bargains by comparison.
Keep squeezing us dry. At this rate, you’ll have the highest taxes on an empty state.

A Seattle judge wouldn’t let the media show you the face of the homeless man accused of dragging a teen girl into the woods to rape her. That’s ok, because his ex-girlfriend sent us some pictures. This is Joshua Kowalczewski.
“The first post-Obama, post-BLM generation of black teens are more likely to die by firearm homicide or serve lengthy sentences in adult prison than any earlier generation.”

@RichardHanania I don't think Democrats have realized that the attack on Kavanaugh, the law fare against Trump, and the collusion hoax, not to mention "very fine people" hoax drove people who would otherwise voted D in 2020 and 2024 to vote for Trump.
@FurlinMark@GooseGanderTalk@DanFriedman81 Innocent until proven guilty is one of our most precious traditions. Ford's accusations were treated as gospel, as guilty until proven innocent from the start. I am female. I have had lots of bad things happen to me, worse than what she alleged. Having different standards -1
@GooseGanderTalk@DanFriedman81 I voted for Hillary. The campaign against Kavanaugh and all the law fare against Trump was what pushed me to vote for him in 2020 and 2024.
@DanFriedman81 Voted for Hillary in '16. Seeing Ds go after Kavanaugh made me think that they were worse than Trump. Ford's witnesses said it didn't happen—and then were dragged through the mud. The whole thing was guilty until proven innocent, and "We with a D" get to decide if you're innocent
