When someone asserts that teachers are “indoctrinating” kids of anything, they’re giving away their absolute cluelessness of what actually takes place in classrooms.

Teachers don’t have time to pee. When the everlovin’ f*ck are they gonna find time to teach your kids how to be trans/gay/woke/etc?! Get a clue, dipshits.

"A spokesman for Arlington National Cemetery said today that holding a campaign event on its soil not only breaks the rules of the cemetery but is a violation of federal law."

I was saddened to learn that @stevesilberman passed away last night from his husband, who shared the news on Bluesky.

Steve was a true mensch: kind, funny, generous, passionate in righteous fury & compassionate.

He helped countless people understand neurodiversity, spoke truth to power, & shared joy in good music, great food, & clever humor.

I’m grateful to have known him online, in life. We will hold him in the light tonight, in death. RIP.

"Today is the day when Ukraine especially honors the memory of all our fallen soldiers. And everyone in Ukraine should always be grateful to all our people who made their most important choice in life, a choice for the benefit of Ukraine and for the sake of our, Ukrainian, national dignity.

Let there be an eternal and bright memory of all our heroes of different times who fought for the independence of Ukraine"

-Volodymyr #Zelenskyy, President of #Ukraine

NEWS MEDIA HEADLINE:

"JD Vance defends Trump after cemetery incident, says Harris 'can go to hell"

How can this be? Trump, out on bail, violates Federal Law and all semblance of morality and taste and his chosen VP candidate says Harris should "go to hell"?

With news Meta was reluctant to remove COVID misinformation on its platforms in 2021, it's critical to remember that they also did the opposite when Threads launched, and were overzealous in suppressing all COVID information, even from reliable sources. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/09/11/threads-covid-coronavirus-searches-blocked/

Former FBI director James Comey, once a longtime Republican, endorsed Kamala Harris for president:

"Kamala Harris made me feel like it’s finally morning in America. Everyone who cares about the rule of law and America’s indispensable role in the world should vote for Harris and Walz. I will."

#harris announced a slate of progressive economic policy proposals before and during the Democratic National Committee. These include permanently expanding the Child Tax Credit to $3,600, banning AI software from dictating rent costs, canceling medical debt for millions of Americans, capping the price of insulin to $35 per month and limiting the total cost of prescription drugs to $2,000 annually for all Americans, instead of just those on Medicare—and much more! #VoteBlue #VoteBlue2024 #uspol #uspolitics

Someone shared with me a really innovative site for presenting info on #Project2025. You choose what "I care about" from a drop-down list, click "Show me," and then the website describes how P25 will impact that area -- including PAGE NUMBERS from the actual document. Y'all know what to do.
