Public schools are being defunded in favor of vouchers for private schools in many red states. This harms all who can't afford these schools, even with the vouchers, esp. POC, & the private schools are often overtly racist & discriminate, eg:

"His private school in Fayetteville, NC pocketed $1.8M in public tax$ this school year."

They expressly ban students who practice specific religions like Islam & Buddhism, & also deny admissions to LGBTQ+ students whom they call "perverted." -J Parmenter

Jennifer Siebel Newsom: “We, women, are 51% of the population. We birth 100% of the population. That’s right. And we control over 80% of consumer spending. And by 2030, women are set to control much of the $30 trillion in wealth… So don’t let the patriarchal rhetoric fool you. We have tremendous power and we must press on together.”

@AlliFlowers @KimPerales yes, unfortunately, for Hamas dead people is good propaganda.

Trump calls the migrants seeking asylum at our border an “invasion.” Dr. Jason Stanley says this kind of dehumanizing language about migrants is a “standard fascist narrative.” Maria Hinojosa says Trump’s words unravel when you examine the facts. #Velshi

"Legal proceedings often turn on the burden of proof," she wrote on social media. "Here, it’s the defendants who bear that burden. And as salacious as the proceedings have been, they seem to have fallen short. You can’t prove something through a witness who won’t testify to it, and Bradley wouldn’t," she said referring to Terrence Bradley, Wade's former divorce attorney and law partner who was called to give evidence.

Sometimes, if I feel a little down, I just consider that every hour, of every day, Donald Trump owes the State Of New York $4,665.95 in interest payments alone on his $454,156,783 fine for being a sleazy "businessman", and then I feel much, much better.
