Middle- & high school math/science teacher & tutor. The two most important days in your life are the day you were born and the day you find out why --Mark Twain
I just failed a student for submitting an AI-written research paper, and she sent me an obviously AI-written email apologizing, asking if there is anything she can do to improve her grade. We are through the looking-glass, folks.
@TristanSnell This is disgusting. For God’s sake, these are the coffins of soldiers. Any US President who can’t be bothered to be present, in order to be part of the solemn occasion of honoring their service, is repulsive to me.
This is Colonel Nicole Malachowski. A 21-year veteran of the Air Force, she is the first woman to fly with the Thunderbirds and flew 26 missions in Iraq. Trump has removed all mention of her from federal websites.
RETWEET if you stand with @RealMalachowski against Trump!
BREAKING: In a stunningly stupid announcement, Donald Trump just said that in order to lower costs, he will impose a $3,900 tax hike on middle-income Americans. This is as unpopular as it is stupid. Retweet so all Americans see this.
BREAKING: In a stunning post, Donald Trump just put in writing his bragging about terminating Roe v. Wade. Retweet to make sure every American sees this and knows Trump is responsible for taking away women’s reproductive freedom.
BREAKING: In a stunning admission, one of the most conservative Senators, Senator James Lankford, admits that it was Donald Trump who sabotaged the toughest border security legislation proposed in decades. Retweet to make sure every American sees this
BREAKING: Kamala Harris just released her statement slamming Donald Trump for claiming he has every right to interfere illegally in elections. Retweet to make sure all Americans see this and know Kamala Harris isn’t messing around.
BREAKING: New polling has Kamala Harris leading Donald Trump by so much that high-ranking Republicans are beginning to panic. Many wish Trump wasn’t their nominee.
PS2/ As a writer myself, I have no problem with Vance serving in PR as a desk jockey. I respect his service—including easy noncombat desk work. But when he starts attacking someone who spent *400% more time in the military than he did and deployed overseas for longer*, I get mad.
PS/ How angry would *you* be if you were a 24-year military vet who served in Operation Enduring Freedom and your quarter-century of service to America was being shat on by the draft-dodging Private Bone Spurs and Captain Couch Potato—who spent just 180 days at an Iraqi desk job?
(NOTE) Can someone else—besides me—who was a journalism professor at an R1 public flagship research university explain to me why this is the *last* sentence of a long, false-MAGA-accusation-strewn CNN report on whether Walz did anything wrong in leaving the Guard?
(4/4) A political party that swiftboated war hero John Kerry and is running a draft dodger for POTUS alongside a man who spent 10% of his military service at a desk job in Iraq should be *universally denounced*—including by media—for slandering 24-year military veteran Tim Walz.
(3/4) Walz was a sharpshooter and heavy-weapons (field artillery) specialist—so serving abroad in the Global War on Terror in that capacity absolutely meant handling deadly weapons in a time of war (a war the GOP declared under President Bush). So attacks on his service are vile.
(2/4) ...which is when the order arrived. The unit didn’t actually deploy until 2006. Walz served in 2003 and 2004 in Operation Enduring Freedom—which included Afghanistan *and* the Global War on Terror (including Europe, where Walz served with a weapons-of-war specialization).
(1/4) As major media should be shouting from the rooftops today, Governor Walz filed to run for office and notified the Guard he’d be leaving it after 24 years of honorable service in February 2005. The earliest he could’ve learned his old unit was being deployed was July 2005...
