If helping students with debt is “buying votes”, then surely giving tax cuts to the wealthy is also “buying votes”. Right?

JUDGE CANNON

Trump has threatened 4 out of 5 Judges who are hearing cases where he is the defendant.

The one and only Judge who has not been threatened is Aileen Cannon.

Why isn’t he going after her too?

The most powerful people in Israel keep saying they want to do terrible, immoral things and US media keep not reporting Israel’s stated intent, as @adamjohnsonCHI documents. https://t.co/AYCbXFl24W

@MatthewSch90143 @hausfath Ah. A dimwit and proud of it.

[Sam Alexander @samalexanderns]

@MatthewSch90143 @hausfath I'm reassured by the obviously deep understanding of complex geophysical sciences and the lifetime of study you are displaying here.

[Sam Alexander @samalexanderns]

@Neutron22Jim @hausfath You do understand that humanity has also been limited to "an extremely narrow window of time in the history of the Earth"?
And that therefore the data and observations are very relevant because it's speed of change for the human world people are concerned about?

@realTuckFrumper And so it begins in earnest - the West's abandonment of Ukraine and any pretence at "principles".

The following is a video taken in my local woods. The woods are reputably haunted. This six-second video was taken using a high-speed camera and slowed down for the naked eye.

NEW: THREAD: Ronan Farrow’s expose on Musk is out. It’s a MUST READ. Here are some stand-out moments.

Musk deliberately throttled Starlink - the communications system Ukraine was relying on in battle. He held it hostage for $400M at critical points in the war. 1/

If the child on the left was old enough to pick cotton and the child on the right was old enough to attend Klan rallies, then today's children are old enough to learn about both of these and how they've led us to where we are today.

Government Ministers are still suggesting the new inflation figures prove the Prime Ministers decision to impose crappy real terms pay cuts on public sector workers was the correct one. Why are UK news shows not calling this absolute boll**** out?

[Hemant Mehta @hemantmehta]

Russell Moore, a former Southern Baptist leader, recently made waves pointing out how many MAGA evangelicals would now see Jesus as "weak." (Fair point!)

But he won't acknowledge how his own extremism led to this point.

Let me introduce you to Virgil Lamar Ware. He was an eighth-grader, an A student who loved to play football.

Virgil had a bright future. He dreamed of becoming a lawyer.

All those hopes and dreams ended on September 15, 1963. The day he was gunned down in the aftermath of the Birmingham church bombing.

Virgil and his brother were returning home, totally unaware that the bombing had occurred.
They encountered Larry Joe Sims and Michael Lee Farley, two sixteen-year-olds coming from a segregationist rally.

When the white teens saw the Ware brothers, Farley told Sims to shoot, to “scare them.” Sims shot Virgil twice, once in the cheek and once in the chest.

The 13-year-old died on the Docena-Sandusky Road on the outskirts of Birmingham.

Young Virgil was buried on the side of the road up until 2004 when he was moved to a plot with a marker thanks to donations.

DeSantis and the likes want to hide this history. History is history.

DeSantis cites “white discomfort” I experience discomfort knowing that DeSantis and the likes don’t want Black history taught.

Black children were casualties of racism. It’s a fact. Children deserve to know and learn from it. #FreshResists #BlackHistoryWithLana

Private schools receive £7,000 per pupil from the Government, and the money parents pay in fees.

State schools receive £5,500 per pupil, that is it.

Private schools should receive NOTHING from the state, RT if you agree.

1/2 So let me get this right:
As a teacher, or any other public service worker,
I cannot have a reasonable pay increase. because if I need it to pay my increased mortgage and increased food prices, I need to lose my home and and use food banks in order to cut inflation?

[Richard Murphy @RichardJMurphy]

A delusional man who ruled ineptly, costing innocent people their lives, has resigned as an MP, making a statement that can barely be related to reality, leaving his party in ruins, and the media is already calling him extraordinary.

@_NatashaDevon Not just "woke" now, but "ultra-woke". Before we know it, it will be "super-duper mega woke" or something.
