It isn't possible to design a school system where everyone leaves with the skills needed for the workplace because *they're all going to do different jobs*.

Workplace training needs to be done by employers.

(asking the Court to order Defendants to “request that the government of El Salvador return Plaintiff to Defendants’ custody”). Despite their allegations of continued payment for Abrego Garcia’s detention, Plaintiffs do not argue that the United States can exercise its will over a foreign sovereign. The most they ask for is a court order that the United States entreat—or even cajole—a close ally in its fight against transnational cartels. This is not “custody” to which the great writ may run.

I try not to think about this, but.

The truly scary thing is that the people don’t care.
We created legal systems based on the idea people cared - a lot - about civil liberties, the right to a trial, privacy, all of that.

But if people think the vibes are right, they just don’t care.

thats horrendous

Trump walks to Marine One to head to Mar-a-Lago to play golf on the taxpayers dime.

This trip will cost us $3.1 million, which could be used by USAID to feed 710 starving children for a full year.

There's anti palestinian and anti semetism going on here simultaneously. Only trump seems to have managed that in a single breath.

I'm sure the ADL will want to come out and condemn this obvious anti-semitism....
