During WW2, some American high schoolers were working for companies like Lockheed Martin helping support wartime manufacturing.
When you watch interviews of teenagers from the 1940s–1960s and compare them to modern TikTok brainrot culture and the difference in maturity, vocabulary, and composure feels surreal
🧵New Orleans just proved failing schools can be fixed at scale.
It became America’s first all-charter school district.
The results are staggering:
• 99th percentile nationally in reading growth
• 98th percentile in math growth
• The only state in America beating pre-pandemic levels in both subjects
This is what real reform looks like. THREAD 🧵
The Barnstable County Assembly of Delegates met yesterday to discuss an ordinance aimed at further restricting ICE operations on Cape Cod.
This man said what millions of Americans are thinking but are too afraid to say out loud:
“I am not an uncompassionate individual. But my generosity has been abused, and I am sick of it! I am sick of being treated as an indentured servant to foreign nationals in my country and in my community. And I don't give a damn whose feelings that hurts.”
There was a whole lot of pear-clutching afterward.

Wow.
A deranged gunman opened fire earlier this week in Massachusetts and a combat veteran immediately went to work.
The veteran shielded innocent people with his body, then maneuvered towards the gunman before shooting him alongside a police officer.
Heroes walk among us.
Nothing infuriates an uninformed Congressional Dem more than when they realize they voluntarily triggered a debate with someone who actually knows what they are talking about, reads federal statute and adheres to Supreme Court precedent. Today’s self-implosion by @rosadelauro was quite remarkable to witness. Without apology or regret, I will always adhere to the best available reading of federal statute pursuant to the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Loper Bright.
