"The curriculum is questionable: in one instance, a school used instructional materials from the conservative non-profit PragerU that cast doubt on the human-made origins of climate change. In another, 7th graders were asked to imagine themselves as statehood convention delegates and asked whether slavery in #Texas should be legal.
Parents have protested new rules that abandon state requirements for certified teachers in classrooms..." #houston #schools #abbott

I posted this on some other platforms I'm on because people are still looking for a decent weather place...

If you are into #weather and want realtime information at your fingertips; check out m.ai6yr.org at Mastodon. Ben has really put a lot of work into that instance to have it very informative. He set it up with NWS bots, fire weather news, emergency weather and rescue news, etc, etc, and etc.

I've been there for a little over 2 years now.
I'm not trying to get people to replace this, not at all. But if you want to get your geek on...that's a great supplement!

My bad, I thought the international pop star and the famous tight end football player everyone’s been talking about was David and Victoria.

HOW COULD BIDEN ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN!! IMPEACH!!! #Humor #Political #PoliticalHumor

FYI, this #HouseRepublicans post is absolute #BULLSHIT.

The primary reason their statement is #false?

#Biden did not WILLFULLY retain the docs.

Which is exactly why there are no #criminal charges.

Biden’s kid had JUST DIED.

He did not obstruct the investigation ever.

Biden himself initiated the search after it was discovered Trump not only #willfully stole classified docs but also obstructed the investigation & return of the docs.

“The government has no right to censor #LGBTQ+ people and expression,” said an ACLU spokesperson.

“More important than the monetary recovery, this settlement sends a clear message that the city’s discrimination against the LGBTQ+ community was blatantly unconstitutional and that this type of behavior will no longer be tolerated here — or anywhere across the country.”

Amid all the talk about the 14th Amendment case against Trump before SCOTUS, it's worth noting the statute has already been utilized since the Civil War — once.

Namely, it was used to bar Couy Griffin, a pastor and onetime county commissioner, from office for his role in Jan 6, during which he led some storming the Capitol in prayer. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-faces-14th-amendment-suits-cuoy-griffin-speaks/story?id=103009491

Trump Admits To 'An Insurrection' in 'Completely Deranged' Statement

https://crooksandliars.com/2024/02/trump-admits-insurrection-completely?utm_source=social&utm_medium=twitter&utm_content=84773

#Trump is still rallying his dumbshit supporters around the shooting death of the traitor #AshleyBabbit while denying his incitement of the #insurrection that she was there to participate in. If anyone is responsible for that traitor's death, it's Trump. Without him, she would still be alive, spouting insane conspiracy theories while draped in a Gadsden flag.

I really hope the voters don't let the country down like the SCOTUS, Senate, and House have done.

@AlliFlowers And Bannon WILL be in prison before the other Trumpomobsters (not counting Peter Bizarro) and Bannon gets BONUS prison months, AHEAD of his life-without-parole sentence he gets for Jan 6 and other shit. Do not worry, Bannon dies of old age inside a prison

"Greene made clear that she didn’t know what the word “insurrection” meant...

And Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) declared that, once House Republicans pass their resolution, it will no longer be permissible for “sociopath” journalists like us to call the insurrection an insurrection."

Abolish the electoral college! I’m sick of US interests being beholden to random swing states representing a tiny fraction of the population.

When I went to graduate school, I had to be revaccinated for measles. They told me that people vaccinated between 1963 and 1967 received a faulty dose and may NOT be protected. Please do what's necessary to protect yourself NOW before something bad happens.
