@Havingfun2206 @piyushmittal That's not true - we just renewed my daughters at an embassy last year. She did say she was waiting for a letter from her child's father, so maybe it had to do with that.

@CrunchyMommaC @OGG921 Yes - I also feel that a lot of details are missing from the story that would help to understand what happened better.

When I was growing up in El Salvador, there was a man who was not afraid to speak out. His name was Óscar Romero, archbishop of San Salvador. It seems to me that we need more Óscar Romeros today. We need everyone of good will to follow his lead and demand that the government respect human dignity.

In his last Sunday homily on the day before he was killed, Saint Óscar Romero made a special appeal to government agents: “It is time now for you to reclaim your conscience and to obey your conscience rather than the command to sin,” he said. “We want the government to understand well that the reforms are worth nothing if they are stained with so much blood. In the name of God, then, and in the name of this suffering people, whose laments rise up each day more tumultuously toward heaven, I beg you, I beseech you, I order you in the name of God: stop the repression!”

I urge government officers and support staff in the present situation to heed these words which echo through history. It is time now for you to reclaim your conscience. What you are doing is worth nothing if it is stained with unjust cruelty. That is not what America stands for. You too can and should speak out against this terror and infliction of suffering on people. You can refuse to be involved in oppression and these grievous assaults on human rights and dignity.

True, if you do, there may be adverse personal consequences. Saint Óscar certainly paid a price for speaking against the state of siege in his country. It might even mean leaving your job, but that is better than being complicit with evil, and it will lead to something even greater. As this holy man said in his last words before his martyrdom, “If we have imbued our work with a sense of great faith, love of God, and hope for humanity, then all our endeavors will lead to the splendid crown that is the sure reward for the work of sowing truth, justice, love, and goodness on earth.”

The reasons why merit pay doesn’t work:

1. There’s an incentive to cheat on the test.
2. Disincentive to work in low income, struggling schools.
3. Arguments over class lists and roster assignments.
4. Fosters unhealthy competition instead of collaboration between colleagues

HEY EVERYONE REMEMBER WHEN TRUMP WAS IMPEACHED FOR DENYING AID TO UKRAINE BECAUSE HE WANTED ZELENSKY TO LIE AND SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT BIDEN AND ZELENKSY WOULDN’T DO IT?

Maybe literally one fucking American newspaper could mention this in their, “think pieces,” about what happened yesterday.

The heartbreak

Trump wants us to believe that USAID is bankrupting America—when in reality, it’s less than 1% of the federal budget.

Meanwhile, Elon Musk—the richest man on Earth—is gutting the world’s largest provider of food aid. This is a man who could end world hunger single-handedly and still be the richest man alive. But he won’t.

We are watching evil at work.

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

Project 2025 was unpopular because of things like the plan for Trump to shut down the CFPB, which helps you get your money back if a bank cheats you.

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

Hey Elon, Can we at least cut $3,400,000 Taxpayer-funded Trump golf outings at his own resort before we cut humanitarian aid to starving children via USAID?

I'm the graduating kid on the nanny's phone! In her 33 years in the US, my mom has raised the kids of company execs, professors, doctors, lawyers... Mi mami is the best of the best.

I'm so proud of the American Dream she and my dad have built for themselves — and for me.

[Ali Crabb @alicrabb]

@Eduventuring04 What did you do though - tell me more and congrats!

It wasn’t just Gus Walz standing up and telling everyone that was his dad. It was also that no one tugged his arm to sit down and not “make a scene.” They let him be him and that’s beautiful.

[Ellie Hall @ellievhall]

In Washington, D.C. we don't say "I love you," we say, "I'll pick you up from Dulles" and I think that's beautiful.
