@dhstokyo We once said that about Trump.

It's now 701 days since Donald Trump's Jan 6 terrorist attack. Not only has Trump not been charged with even one crime, he's now running for President where he's actively spewing more lies to delegitimize our democracy.
Long past Time for Merrick Garland to INDICT TRUMP!!

Think about things before they are said
Years ago, when my son was about 4, he suddenly began expressing worries that "Indians" were going to "scalp" him and "take his hair". I couldn't figure out where he got this from, as we knew a LOT of Native Americans from a variety of nations and nobody at home had ever said that.
I thought.
After months of re-education, I finally figured it out.
It was the song "Please Mr. Custer". It was on a whacky hit tape.
It's that simple.

Russia freed WNBA star Brittney Griner on Thursday in a dramatic high-level prisoner exchange, with the U.S. releasing notorious Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout, the White House said. The swap, at a time of heightened tensions over Ukraine, achieved a top goal for President Joe Biden, but carried a heavy price — and left behind an American jailed for nearly four years in Russia.
@dhstokyo As much as I despise McCarthy and Scalise, they’re both better than Green.

When I hear about the coup attempt in Germany & the desire of these violent extremists to insert Prince Heinrich XIII of Reuss as the leader after a planned execution of the German chancellor, it sounds ludicrous, laughable. But that's the thing: These people are deadly serious.
Because the plots of these anti-democratic extremists often seem so ludicrous, they can succeed because the public--& too many leaders--don't take them seriously enough. This tendency is how Trump got as far as he did.
#StarTrek For @CaptBobbers and anyone else who is a Trekker, here is my collection in pieces. (Multi post)
@marcomerica @rbreich @mweston Copy/paste from there and just remove “RT” at the beginning and all the Twitter links. It doesn’t take that long.

@AlliFlowers @rbreich I understand why those who have a large Twitter following feel abandoning that platform is counterproductive to the goal: keeping an info network going because there is no comparable replacement. That's why Musk and his gang of Davos plutocrats bought it: to shut Democrat and Independent party opposition down.
I still check for news while joining other sites like this to rebuild, as Musk's toxic Twitter has already reached Dante's Fifth Circle of Hell.
@scerruti @edutooters @JenRoberts @DavidKnuffke @aus_teach Personally, I believe we need set rigor and hold onto it. Why allow students to enter institutions of higher learning if they’ll have to take remedial courses once they get there?
@CaptBobbers Remind me tomorrow (I’m going schluffy now) to post pics of my ST collection. I think you’ll be impressed.
@catsnkittens@botsin.space We also have 3 with very different personalities. We have the outgoing friendly one who always wants to be where the action is. The oldest, who is a typically independent feline. Then there is the middle child who is the reason they’re called pussies. He’s afraid of everything, and never comes out of hiding when there’s company.
@rbreich @CaptBobbers They might want to give us the same consideration.
@CaptBobbers @rbreich That’s what makes horse races.
@scerruti @aus_teach @DavidKnuffke @JenRoberts @edutooters That’s true in a lot of programs though, not just education. They need the money.

@JenRoberts I know many excellent teachers who are not good test takers. I don’t accept that bad test taking is always a result of stress or that stress is always responded to in the same way, regardless of context 🤷🏻♂️
@brainsmatter @theconversationau Definitely a great research topic!
