@OunkaOnX Make the Clayton High Principal famous. It was her, not an "administrator" who blatantly violated the First Amendment Rights of the valedictorian.

Whether you agree with her message or not, threatening a student's graduation over a peaceful speech raises serious concerns about free expression. Graduation should be a moment where students can share their convictions, especially when speaking about humanitarian issues and people they believe are being overlooked.
A 17-year-old valedictorian, Leen Hijaz, used her graduation speech to speak for the voiceless: "Millions suffering in Palestine, Sudan, Congo, Afghanistan. Families torn apart by ICE."
The school administrator cut her mic. Told her: "If you don't stop, you're not graduating." They withheld her diploma for four days.
Sooooo....The Pentagon just declared Israel an enemy to the US the same week Congress voted to merge our military with theirs.
Am I getting that right?
The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn’t a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began.
The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can’t build the nuclear bomb they weren’t building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn’t start.
Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have.
If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.
🚨 ICE announces it will no longer report deaths of recently released detainees.
This comes after the deaths of recently released detainees surge to a two-decade high.
This is really stupid, and it’s not getting enough attention.
The Trump administration is pulling a working $368 million ocean monitoring system out of the water, equipment taxpayers already bought, built, and sank into the deep ocean.
And they are doing it right when the oceans are behaving in ways that alarm the scientists who study them.
Record-breaking temperatures.
A system of Atlantic currents that may be lurching toward collapse.
The response?
Yank out the instruments and walk away.
That is not budgeting. That is smashing the gauges while the engine is on fire and calling it efficiency.
For what? The Trump administration dressed it up as a “nimbler approach” and “smart lifecycle management,” which is fancy nonsense for “we shut it off and hoped nobody would ask why.” There is no return-on-investment analysis. They cannot show taxpayers save a dime, because the gear is already paid for and the science it produces protects real money and real lives.
The kicker: the same people killing the monitors want to mine the deep sea for minerals. So they are destroying the only tools that could measure what that mining does. That is not an accident.
That is the point. You cannot see the damage if you break the instruments first.

This Island deal of Kushner’s is far worse then I ever suspected. This is a fortified military installation with its own bunker city. This is not a resort.
Under Trump, the Forest Service is gutting labs that cost ONE DOLLAR in rent so they can cram scientists into a Fort Collins office that costs taxpayers a million a year.
As reported by NPR, Trump's 2027 budget zeroes out Forest Service research entirely. Three hundred and nine million dollars, gone. Fifty-seven of the agency's seventy-seven research stations are on the chopping block.
These are the forests generations of Americans have hiked, hunted, camped, and prayed in. Sacred ground for almost anyone who's ever stepped outside in this country.
And the "efficiency" pitch? A scam.
The research station in Hilo, Hawaii sits on 30,000 acres the federal government rents for a one-time fee of ONE DOLLAR, locked in until 2067. The Michigan Tech lease? One dollar paid in 1963, free ever since. Another site costs the agency $600 a month for two rooms.
The destination they want everyone shipped to in Fort Collins runs taxpayers a million a year.
Read that again. They're closing dollar leases to expand a million-dollar lease.
Scientists in Baltimore have spent years planting white oak saplings that need three decades to mature. You can't FedEx a forest to Colorado. You can't manage a Hawaiian ecosystem from a cubicle in Utah.
Researchers told NPR they'll quit before they relocate. Which is the point.
Meanwhile, Trump has openly pledged to ramp up logging on federal land. Gut the scientists who document the damage, and there's nobody left to sound the alarm when ancient forests get clear-cut for profit.
These are the people who tell us when wildfire season turns deadly. Who track invasive beetles eating through pine. Who teach cities how to recycle dead trees instead of dumping them in landfills.
You don't dismantle the world's largest forestry research network because you're worried about a maintenance bill. You dismantle it because somebody plans to take a chainsaw to what the public owns and doesn't want a paper trail.
The forests don't belong to Tom Schultz. They don't belong to Trump. They belong to every American who has ever stood quiet under a hundred-year-old tree and understood, for one second, that some things are not for sale.
Defend them now, or explain it to your grandkids later.
Albania has officially drawn the
line, Sazan 'lsland is being cleared. In an stunning turn of events, Albanian authorities have
launched an active enforcement operation to kick
out foreign developers and private security
personnel occupying Sazan Island. The decisive
action marks a total collapse of the controversial €1.4 billion luxury real estate deal that aimed to turn the protected national marine reserve and
former military base into an exclusive private playground for global elites,
The eviction comes after four consecutive weeks of historic
hundred-thousand-strong protests that completely
shut down the capital city of Tirana, refusing to allow their native coastlines and ecologically sensitive wetlands to be privatized by foreign
investors, the Albanian public unified under a
single, unyielding demand: "Albania is not for sale, the courts faced with a historic political crisis, mounting
domestic fury, and a widening anti-corruption
investigation by special prosecutors (SPAK), the
government was forced to pivot, by deploying state forces to reclaim Sazan lsland, Albania has
sent a clear message to international billionaires
and foreign developers trying to bypass environmental protection laws, This historic victory for citizen-led activism proves that the collective voice of a nation can successfully overpower backroom corporate deals and protect sovereign land.
The people spoke, and the
government had to listen.
They killed Charlie.
They shot President Trump.
They put hundreds into the DC gulag by lying.
It’s not a battle of ideas - they want us dead.
Know the fight we are in.
Trump held an agriculture roundtable meeting with farmers in Wisconsin yesterday.
The purpose was to raise the morale of farmers with new promises he will break as usual.
This is what Trump told them.
"I don't need this. I got elected. What the hell do I have to be here for?"
Well, if farmers haven't given up on him yet that statement should have given them a wake-up call.

The Iran war has consumed the American national security apparatus since February 28th.
The Western Pacific, for the first time in recent memory, has no carrier strike group within rapid response range of Taiwan. That is not a logistics footnote. It is a strategic signal, and Beijing reads it with the fluency of a native speaker.
Trump is sending ships in June to remove over 900 deep-sea instruments from the Atlantic and Pacific, dismantling a $368 million monitoring network built over a decade that was meant to last 25 years. It will be dismantled in just 15 months.
🇨🇳🇹🇼🇺🇸 What China is building around Taiwan is not an invasion force. It is a system of pressure organized in three concentric layers. Civilian vessels on the outside: sand dredgers, fishing boats, commercial ships with opaque ownership structures. Their job is to be present, to monitor, to create friction, and to stretch Taiwan’s surveillance capacity across thousands of contacts that may or may not be threats.

This may well be the last time Europe extends an invitation to clowns to mark D-Day. Not a single person in the Trump administration comes close to having the character those landings demanded. The Americans who stormed those beaches on June 6, 1944 were fighting against exactly the kind of people Hegseth represents
@maddenifico@BadrobotLinda Well he has already bulldozed sections of the WH, slathered gold leafing like it is ketchup and bombed countries that posed no threat so why would he stop at a statue when he doesn’t subscribe to its significance.
@maddenifico we must imprison Pedophile Rapist Violent Nazi Donald tRump today!
tRump is a fraudster & criminal & belongs in prison for life.
I wrote this anthem, We are the Resistance, & created the amazing video to stop tRump, the Republicans, & fascism

🚨 WOW! Erin Brockovich completely destroys the AI data center narrative. She confirms these massive facilities emit a non-stop, 24/7 deafening noise that is literally driving local residents crazy!
She exposes the total lack of environmental oversight. Pure corruption!
