Hey Coach, if you're mad about how much the US spends on foreign nations as compared to domestically, you're gonna be fucking PISSED when you find out how much schools in America spend on football as compared to education.

This is what happens when billionaires are shadow voted into office. Elon Musk publicized the names of U.S. government employees he wants to cut. It's terrifying federal workers

Fantastic write up of how Reagan destroyed the American middle class by allowing corporations to behave badly.

For example:
"Before Reagan, CEOs who executed share buybacks just to artificially inflate stock prices could go to prison.
FDR criminalized share buybacks in the early 1930s because they’re simply a form of stock price manipulation and were one of the main reasons for the stock market crash of 1929 that kicked off the Republican Great Depression."

Democrat Adam Gray has taken a narrow lead over Republican Rep. John Duarte in California's 13th District, sparking MAGA outrage. Marjorie Taylor Greene baselessly claimed election fraud, demanding stricter voting laws. If Gray wins, it shrinks the GOP House majority, intensifying their fragile control.

21 1/2 years for me and one of my kids killed in action while wearing the uniform of the United States.

If you are still blaming Israel for #genocide while ignorant of Hamas now asking for peace, you are only compounding the pain for #Palestinians.

No one is going to #freepalestine now.

Not the UN
Not Iran
Not France
Not Jordan

Palestinians elected Hamas and now the circle is complete.

“I remember democracy,” he whispered to his grandchildren as they woke up for another day at the glorious agricultural work camp of the American people of freedom.

When I took office, the pandemic was raging and the economy was reeling.

From Day One, I was determined to not only deliver economic relief, but to grow the economy from the middle out and bottom up.

Over the last four years, that's exactly what we've done.

Do not normalize Trump's dangerously unqualified nominees. Normalizing charlatans kills people.

I like this. Hopefully, it lets one check the source and, if the source is unpalatable they don't get the clicks.

There's a real problem faced by "highly-capable" or "gifted" kids:

Things are easy for them, until they're not.

And when things get difficult, it's often because the kid coasted by on their IQ without developing the skills they'd need when things got more complex than they were able to brute-force with their brains.

I know this happened to me, and it's only as an adult that I learned more about why.

Autism is often co-morbid with executive function impairment and atypical sensory-processing.

Learning skills to help counter executive functioning issues and techniques to deal with over-stimulus when it comes to task completion can dramatically improve quality of life and burnout issues with tasks that suddenly seem to be too great to surmount.

Take this with some salt, I transitioned from psychology to computer science half-way through my college career.

Some people daydream of blood, sugar, sex or magic, but I fantasise about stripping the assets of corrupt politicians and their business cronies, and redistrubuting the wealth to those in need. I would redistribute that wealth so good. Imagine having all those who have profiteered from the people, having to live on Universal Credit. I will remind you that Rishi Sunak didn't even know how to pay for something using contactless. Didn't even understand how to pay for something. Let that sink in.

The point of an abortion ban is to punish women for daring to even think about having non-procreative sex. The people who die in terrible agony because of abortion bans are meant to be examples, to terrify others into compliance. This is the system working as intended.
