@tweetdodger@LeorSapir And I wish I had a Pres who is youthful, brilliant, wise, charismatic, good looking, patriotic…
AND had the balls to actually get things done -preferably through Congressional action - rather than just blow slick politi-smoke up my ass.
Meanwhile, Trump at least has the balls…
@educationweek I would think parent advocates for their Spec Needs kids would be thrilled...
This change is apt to greatly increase their chances of getting support if it's determined their kids are being discriminated against.
@educationweek As always, there's more than one way for reasonable people to understand an issue.
If I were a parent advocate of a spec needs kid today, I'd be supporting this change like crazy...
@WomenAreReals@AsmDawnAddis It's one thing to disagree on the policy.
It's something else altogether to label a young man's heartbreaking personal testimony as "hate" and "lies".
SHAME on you @AsmDawnAddis .
SHAME.
@waysandmeans71@AGJamesUthmeier@MLB Here's an idea, Colleen:
Except for the American flag - no political, ideological or religious adornment on uniforms, equipment, etc. Teams wanna let their players sport their personal opinions on face & body tattoos, that's up to them.
Just play f --- ing ball.
Thoughts?
@ClaireFosterPHD Touche, Dr. Foster.
Touche.
And "Well done!" to all the Progressives who have made it possible for thousands of normal but credulous people to immediately assume the most improbable, noxious Lefty assertions are true...
@tcgoldrush@libsoftiktok 75 yo "historically oppressed" female here.
I gotta admit - I could not care less what this silly little girl is going on about.
Primarily bec I can't get past the dopey "vocal fry".
How/why that ever became a "thing" w/this generation I'll never know...

@Slopiegal@washingtonpost Please try to wrap your head around how the handling of SpEd parents vs Sch District cases are apt to change once those civil rights cases are routed thru the DoJ instead of the DoE. ESPECIALLY if you have fam needing SpeEd programming, ask yourself why schools hate this
change:
@Slopiegal@washingtonpost I'm a former SpEd teacher Elizabeth. I urge you to look beyond the whole "Orange Man Bad" thing.
The DofEd has overseen the precipitous decline of educ achievement since its inception in 1979, while it's annual budget has gone from $14b to now $270b. 1/
Specific SpEd info below:
@libsoftiktok She'll be "Coming to a School Near You!" if the teachers' unions have anything to do with it...
Students started complaining about this teacher since the '23-'24 school year!
She openly discussed her lesbian sexuality, child abuse exper's and suicidal ideation with her students.
@james_n94@RepJeffries Also...the US waived the $15,000 refundable bond for immed family (spouse and children). Because the players are adults, parents were not included in the waiver.
I still maintain Cape Verde could - and SHOULD - have worked all this out before what they KNEW was a firm deadline.
@james_n94@RepJeffries Refundable if you leave.
And there are MANY very wealthy Cape Verde citizens - including many in the government - who were fully capable of working out the details with the team for ANY contingency in advance of any US bond requirements or waiver declarations.
Sad all around.
@anogy@japan_nobunaga How might the IRGC slaughter of many thousands of its own protesting citizens in a matter of days been altered had Iran had a "2nd Amendment"?
Would the Cuban people have been suffering under oppressive Communist rule for 65 torturous years if they had a "2nd Amendment"?
Etc.
@RepJeffries His mom was unable to come because neither she/fam/team officials/CV govt were unable to figure out how to get her there in the 6 MONTHS between 10/13/25 (when they learned the team was participating) and the very firm 04/12/26 visa deadline.
Canada & Mex are ALSO restrictive:
Yesterday, during my father's funeral procession, led by the United States Marine Corps, my family noticed the man in this photograph standing at the side of the road. He held his hat in his hand and placed his hand on his heart as a sign of respect for my father and our family as we walked by.
His respectful gesture deeply touched my family and the entire train. Along the way, we encountered many other cars simply going about their day.
Since his license plate was visible in the photo, my daughter did some research and we found him!!!
His name is Ernest Boerlin and he is also a veteran of the United States Navy.
When I sent him a private message to thank him for honoring my father, he replied:
"It was an honor to show my respect for a comrade and his family." Please accept my prayers and condolences for you and your family in your loss. Fair winds and calm seas. God bless you.
Thank you, Ernest. Your gesture of kindness and respect deeply touched our family and friends, and we are grateful for it. May God bless you and your loved ones.
Let's thank Ernest for his service and show him our affection, folks!
