and they're working feverishly on getting approval to use public funds for private schools in many states, which achieves two goals at once: decimating public (i.e. "woke") schools and pouring money into the pockets of the plutocrats who own those private schools.

⚛️Shawn Athan @ShawnathanDCIf the GOP gets their way you will have one of two options. Private, most likely Christian school you can't afford, or home school... which requires you to be in the home. WAKE UP. Every parent should be discussing this with other parents and it should be 24/7 news. No one is talking about this.09:23 AM - Jun 12, 2023

The fanatical GOP defense of Trump
Reading the federal criminal complaint against Donald Trump was akin to a hallucinatory experience, where the words yielded to flashes of imagination that pixilated into grainy images in my mind’s eye. It was like a movie unfolding with Trump and his valet squirreling boxes filled with America’s mos..

it seems like a whole lot of people don't understand that the literal point of gerrymandering is to create conditions under which voters cannot vote their way OUT of it.
It's designed to create safe seats for a political party at the expense of the voters.
That's what it's *designed* to do.

This is a red herring.
What they really mean is they're not willing to cut executive compensation or reduce their stock price by raising wages high enough to attract workers. So they're asking their captive state government to make it legal to exploit a new segment of the population for cheap labor

Aside from the fact that this is a nice story, with a heartwarming outcome, why does the media feel the need to frame stories like this?
He's a human being helping other human beings who were in dire need of help. Does labeling the rescuer as "homeless" change the story in any meaningful way?

America used to be a place where one person with a high school education could buy a home, buy a new car, raise a family, take them on vacation every year, send the kids to college with no loans, & retire comfortably at age 65.
Then Ronald Reagan came along and destroyed it all.

In any civilized country, Sandy Hook and the murder of 20 first graders would’ve been the last mass shooting in the country. Lesson learned from Dunblane. Instead, gun laws were loosened over and over again. By the bloodthirsty GOP. When will enough be enough? #GunControlNow

Jamie is right. The United States is a cruel country, held hostage by an increasingly angry and violent white supremacist patriarchal minority that exploits baked-in advantages in our political system to retain disproportionate power, holding the rest of us back on gun control and much else

Mass shootings are one symptom of a bigger problem; we do not (and if you're a POC, never have) live in a democracy. Whether it's gun control, abortion, or taxing corporations and billionaires, if the wealthy "elite" don't want it, it's not going to happen, no matter how much the public supports it.

So nakedly partisan, corrupt, and anti-democratic.
The GOP has learned they can get away with this stuff because either not enough people are paying attention or when they are they've gerrymandered the legislature so much that little can be done about it.😡
