Albanian Citizen Mayor eric Adams? — Chelsi West Ohueri I received so many messages last week when numerous media outlets announced that former NYC mayor Eric Adams had become an Albanian Citizen . One of my students emailed me the story with the subject...

Numerous people asked me about #ericadams becoming an Albanian citizen so I thought I'd blog about it:

Anyone else remember in 2020/2021 during lockdown when Zuckerberg made a video that soon people wouldn't even take vacations or pay for outdoor experiences? That they would just be in the metaverse...and wow here we are now. I feel like @tressiemcphd.bsky.social rightly called that this would happen

this made me giggle

sigh, a word. and i hate how real it is.

i'm literally reading this from maine and it's my first time here. thanks algorithm, ha!

I keep blocking nextdoor and somehow they keep finding me...

You cannot talk like this about any other minority in America.

And if it was any other president’s adviser who said something like this about any other minority, it’d be the instant end of their presidency.

Oh cool, thanks so much for letting me know this! And great to hear about your work!

Shreveport, LA, the largest city in Speaker Mike Johnson's district, has a murder rate more than twice Chicago's, and a crime rate considerably higher than both the state and national average. And Johnson isn't calling for the military to invade it. One of many ways we know this isn't about crime.

Love the Internet Archive.

Cindy Hyde-Smith Blocked Scott Colom’s Judicial Nomination. Now He’s Running Against Her for US Senate. Two years after U.S. Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith blocked Scott Colom’s nomination to a federal court, he’s running against her for U.S. Senate.

NEW: When Biden nominated Scott Colom to a federal court, U.S. Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith used the Senate's "blue slip" tradition to block his nomination.

Now, instead of a federal judgeship, Colom is aiming to unseat her in the Senate.

And when people read my book and ask how ideas of "West" and "white" are related, I'll just show them this...because if people are migrating then populations are increasing right???

New rule. A parent may only propose removing a book from the school library only after reading it in its entirety and delivering a book report to the librarian. Until then no discussion shall be entered into.

remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature
