yes. she knew the 6-3 vote would fuck us, so she sent it back down to the lower courts to decide.

AND she's the one who revealed that the contingency SNAP funds are gone. $5 billion has vanished due to the Executive Branch.

they stole from the poor and she told us.

I reported a church to the IRS and the State Atty General for political campaigning and political signs. They are now under review and will likely lose their exempt status. This is also how we save Democracy. Report a church today!!

[Rep. Eric Swalwell @RepSwalwell]

Democrats offered a bill to pay ALL federal workers during the Trump Shutdown. EVERY Republican kept it from passing.

How do you not pay people who are working?

He is not a king, he is a felon.

He is not a king, he is a rapist.

He is not a king, he is a grifter.

He is not a king, he is a predator.

He is not a king, he is a bully.

He is not a king, he is an idiot.

He is not a king, he is a racist.

He is not a king, he is a bigot.

He is not a king, he is a White Supremacist.

He is not a king, he is a ghoul.

He is not a king, he is a draft dodger.

He is not a king, he is a traitor.

Missing on paycheck and immediately needing to go to a food bank says a lot, and we should pause and focus on that. This is a very bad sign as to what’s really going on in this economy. People are down bad.

the fact that a judge said no to trump and her house was bombed nearly killing her family and we just moving like nothing happened is kinda wild

[Brad @BraddrofliT]

What if we gave teachers $50k signing bonuses, $100k salaries, and $60k in student loan forgiveness.

You know, the same as ICE gets.

[Steve Brusatte @SteveBrusatte]

Debbie Brockman is a journalist for WGN, Chicago's most iconic television station.

Here she is being wrestled to the ground, handcuffed & detained by masked ICE agents in broad daylight

ICE rammed into her vehicle & dragged her out. Her whereabouts are unknown

This is fascism.

This is why they don’t teach history properly so you don’t realize how fast things have and can happen. If you’ve never been interested in history before now is a good time to start.

A message from a Kindergarten teacher:

After forty years in the classroom, my career ended with one small sentence from a six-year-old:

“My dad says people like you don’t matter anymore.”

No sneer. No malice. Just quiet honesty — the kind that cuts deeper because it’s innocent. He blinked, then added, “You don’t even have a TikTok.”

My name is Mrs. Clara Holt, and for four decades, I taught kindergarten in a small Denver suburb. Today, I stacked the last box on my desk and locked the door behind me.

When I started teaching in the early 1980s, it felt like a promise — a shared belief that what we did mattered. We weren’t rich, but we were valued. Parents brought warm cookies to parent nights. Kids gave you handmade cards with hearts that didn’t quite line up. Watching a child sound out their first sentence felt like magic.

But that world slowly slipped away. The job I once knew has been replaced by exhaustion, red tape, and a kind of loneliness I can’t quite describe.

My evenings used to be filled with construction paper, glitter, and glue sticks. Now they’re spent filling out digital reports to protect myself from angry emails or lawsuits. I’ve been yelled at by parents in front of twenty-five children — one filming me with his phone while I tried to calm another child mid-meltdown.

And the kids… they’ve changed too. Not by choice.

They arrive tired, anxious, overstimulated. Their tiny fingers know how to swipe a screen before they can hold a crayon. Some can’t make eye contact or wait in line. We’re expected to fix all of it — to patch the gaps, heal the trauma, teach the curriculum, and document every move — in six hours a day, with resources that barely fill a drawer.

The little reading corner I once built, full of soft beanbags and paper stars, was replaced by data charts and “learning metrics.” A young principal once told me, “Clara, maybe you’re too nurturing. The district wants measurable results.”

As if kindness were a weakness.

Still, I stayed. Because of the small, holy moments that no spreadsheet could measure —
a whisper of, “You remind me of my grandma.”
a shaky note that read, “I feel safe here.”
a quiet boy finally meeting my eyes and saying, “I read the whole page.”

Those tiny sparks were my reason to keep showing up.

But this last year broke something in me.

The aggression grew sharper. The laughter in the staff room turned to silence. The light went out of so many eyes. I watched brilliant teachers — my friends — vanish under the weight of burnout, their joy replaced by survival.

I felt myself fading too, like chalk on a board that’s been wiped one too many times.

So today, I began my goodbye. I pulled faded art off the walls and tucked thirty years of handmade cards into a single box. In the back of a drawer, I found a letter from a student from 1998:

“Thank you for loving me when I was hard to love.”

I sat on the floor and cried.

No party. No applause. Just a handshake from a young principal who called me “Ma’am” while checking his notifications.

I left my rocking chair behind, and my sticker box too. What I carried with me were the memories — the faces of hundreds of children who once trusted me enough to reach out their hands and learn. That can’t be uploaded. It can’t be measured. It can’t be replaced.

I miss when teachers were partners, not targets. When parents and educators worked side by side, not in opposition. When schools cared more about wonder than numbers.

So if you know a teacher — any teacher — thank them. Not with a mug or a gift card, but with your words. With your respect. With your understanding that behind every test score is a heart that cared enough to try.

Because in a world that often overlooks them, teachers are the ones who never forget our children.

Gov Whitmer was almost kidnapped by armed thugs. Gov Shapiro‘s house was set on fire. Nancy Pelosi‘s husband was attacked by someone looking for her. Melissa Hortman was assassinated in her home with her husband and dog…and now this. The left is the victim, not the perpetrator.
