I know it’s become pretty cliche and cringey to talk about at this point but if you’re under like 25 I cannot stress enough how one time Obama wore a tan suit and people spent a week arguing over whether or not it was demeaning to the Oval Office and they were serious about it.
@azesamemes@LASimmonsTX146 You do realize a large chunk of that money goes to the exact things public schools are forced to do that pvt are not. Spec ed, transportation, testing, alt schools, and students having parents that think passing is the goal not being proficient or God forbid exceeds
@azesamemes@LASimmonsTX146 So let's throw the baby out with the bath water? If the system is broken let's fix it not create a divided system where each side plays by different rules. Where 1 side gets to pick and choose while the other is forced to follow regulations put in by the legislature?
At least 40 minors gave sworn statements to the FBI that Jeffrey Epstein raped and trafficked them. The line prosecutor wrote an 82-page memo recommending charges.
Alex Acosta declined and signed a non-prosecution deal.
He was later confirmed as Labor Secretary.
Trump suggests January 6 was an inside job: "The FBI said, 'Go in, Go in!'"
(Trump in fact was president during January 6 and he hand-picked the leader of the FBI.)
@azesamemes@LASimmonsTX146 The question should be why don't private schools have to follow the same set of rules if they are getting public money and if the rules are too bad for pvt schools to follow why do public schools have to?
🚨BREAKING: In Chicago, ICE agents were filmed hitting the car of a U.S. citizen, assaulting a bystander who was filming, pointing a taser at innocent people, and driving away before local police could even verify their identities.
And we’re supposed to believe they’re making our communities safer.
The video shows ICE agents chasing a man through Albany Park.
Two agents grab him and rip his shirt off during the chase, while one of the agents drops a fully loaded magazine… and leaves it there.
The man manages to get away and runs across a street, where cars are stopped at a red light.
An ICE agent then drive a black SUV into a U.S. citizen’s vehicle in an attempt to cut off the man running.
The man is eventually surrounded by agents, when one agent suddenly grabs the man and aggressively throws him to the ground, as multiple agents immediately pile on top of him as he screams for help.
As this is happening, residents begin recording what they are witnessing.
That’s when another agent enters the scene with his taser already drawn.
Despite another agent already standing next to a person filming, he walks directly toward the bystander, shoves them backward, and screams, “Back the fuck up.”
The person filming isn’t attacking anyone… or interfering with the arrest.
In fact, you can see them nodding and saying “okay.”
Yet, the agent continues advancing toward them with a taser.
Which all raises some serious first and fourth amendment concerns.
And let’s talk about the woman whose car was hit…
Her vehicle gets run into, during a federal operation… and then they threatened to arrest HER.
And afterward, local police told her they were not given proof of the agents’ identity at the scene.
One officer reportedly said, “[The agents] didn’t want to show us proof of that,” when speaking to the woman whose car was hit.
AND THEN, according to reporting from the scene, one of the ICE agents had a Jerusalem cross sticker on the back of his phone.
The Jerusalem cross is a Christian symbol dating back to the Crusades that has more recently gained popularity among some far-right and white supremacist groups.
Maybe that’s something DHS would like to explain.
So, if federal agents can crash into civilian vehicles, leave loaded ammunition in public streets, point tasers at bystanders, and aggressively confront, and assault, people exercising their constitutional rights…
Then the people holding the cameras aren’t the problem.
The cameras are documenting the problem.
Ossoff: Both of my Trump puppet opponents said that they would support this $1.8 billion slush fund for Jan 6 foot soldiers. I'm running against two Trump puppet Maga fanatics who are pro-war, pro-tariff, pro-cutting your health care pro-Jeffrey Epstein memorial ballroom….
By firing Scott Pelley, editor-in-chief of CBS News Bari Weiss has single-handedly destroyed the most brilliant investigative newsmagazine in network history, 60 Minutes. Weiss exemplifies everything MAGA is about: ego, incompetence, and blithering idiocy.
New statement from Scott Pelley:
“Last month, 60 Minutes lost its DNA when our entire senior leadership and two of our best on-air correspondents were cruelly fired without cause. Good people were silenced because they stood up for our audience. They stood for fairness against the forces of political bias; they stood for professionalism against chaos.
For my part, new management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them. Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done. Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.
At 60 Minutes, we have fought harder than anyone knows to save the program that became an American icon. We owed that to our millions of viewers. I am deeply moved by the thousands of wishes we have received to “keep up the good fight.” Most of the men and women of CBS News are still in that fight. But now the collapse of values at the top has become untenable. The leadership of 60 Minutes is no longer recognizable. The principles I hold dear are gone, and so I must leave as well.”
Really appreciate all the mid major Division 1 schools reaching out too current players on our roster without contacting our staff first. You all are a class act.
If it keeps up am going to start putting your programs on blast for everyone to see on social media.
Attorney General Todd Blanche goes completely silent after being shown the redacted names of Epstein’s powerful associates that he authorized.
Blanche believes the children who were r*ped on Epstein’s island do not deserve justice.
"This is the investigation into the co-conspirators of Jeffrey Epstein... it's all covered up."
"The American people are not stupid."
Sen. Murphy to Markwayne Mullin: "You've spent the first two months of your tenure threatening to suspend international arrivals in states represented by Democrats. Not only would that throw our entire air travel system into chaos. It's completely illegal."
