The Union leadership's bad decision making is the major part of the problem. It's not teachers. It's not unionization. It's how the leadership has used the good will towards education and teachers in ways that are bad for our communities
“Trump (is) in the Top 5 of (most consequential) American presidents, alongside George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Roosevelt and Lyndon Johnson..however..Trump’s consequences have been aggressive efforts to unravel the ideas of the other four presidents.”

We could go full solar in no time if we just sold rights to sunlight to carbon companies like we sell radio bandwidth.

Join a private club or have your vote not matter in 90% of the partisan races is not the way it should work. But you’re right that it does.
Trump wants this war over and be able to claim a victory. Iran wants the war over and to deny Trump any victory. But in addition Iran loves to mess with our elections, impose retribution and is very patient and calculating- see the hostage crisis
Stop the carbon scam
Love this. Seeing nationally recognized leaders participating in our community more like mayors of smaller towns would go a long way to get the support of voters in smaller towns and cities.
Someone named Buckley Carlson quoting someone named David Smuts.
Only the CIA could come up with those names
Don’t forget how the Iranians used the hostage crisis to f**k with the 1980 Presidential elections. They believe in personal retribution
Thanks to the leaker for revealing the aggressive politicization of courts and renunciation of judicial restraint by the conservative majority in its dedication to the current illiberal project
Seems like a tech/AI revolution will require a different way to tax and make transfers of payments and benefits if we want to continue with a broad middle class and a consumer economy. I think that makes one a pragmatist rather than a socialist.
AI means economic winners and losers are going to change drastically. Tech sector investors and management will be big winners. That will bring a demand for changing the way we tax income and wealth and redistribute.
There have one party as a clear ally and one as a clear danger
Seems like a really super bad idea to let the executive disobey court orders without sanctions. And this wasn’t even proposing a sanction it was investigating why the order was disobeyed.
We need to pair tech advances with shorter work weeks, universal healthcare, redistribution of income or higher tax rates on digital assets or UBI

I cant figure out why he would repost a representation of himself as “a doctor” who wears robes and uses Crystals to heal. Is it alternatively medicine week?
It’s not who we are
It’s who they are
Immigration judges are to real judges what administrative warrants are to judicial warrants
One is Executive branch power disguised as a neutral office, and he other is the article 3 independent judicial branch
The goal is to put their story out there, stick to it and attack any critique as “anti American or anti Trump” so that their base stays with them.
Making people question the obvious in their superpower
“We will be highlighting Trumps unconstitutional actions during the mid terms to voters. We urge Republican Senators to agree with us that Trump has clearly violated his oath of office. When that happens we stand ready to impeach”
It’s been a dark week. Our president is mentally and morally deranged. But the truth is we put him there.
In this moment, Americans need to face hard truths. And that’s what Jimmy Carter tried to offer back in 1979. Maybe this time, we’ll listen. My latest:

Many people who may want to downsize are holding mortgages under 3%. That's a barrier to moving as well.
Wolf in charge of sheep herding
We should consider a windfall profits tax on oil companies.
The dismissal of the Army chief was also related to 4 generals (2 women and 2 POC) on a promotion list that Hegseth wanted taken off. This article shows that he Army establishment (sources familiar with the process) isn’t taking the dismissal laying down.
