Every Educator at Calif. School District Got an Email That Seemed Like Spam. Now, They're Getting No-Strings-Attached Money Members of the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) received an email that seemed like spam, but it was actually a wealthy tech worker who was anonymously donating $1.6 million, gifting every...

Today's #goodnews is about an anonymous donor who gave 1.6 million to the SF school district so every teacher got $250.

The donor works in the tech industry. His salary is more than the budget of many schools. He thinks it's sad society doesn't value teachers more & is planning more donations.

Yep. I have to wonder if watching the US fail in that way has informed Magyar’s uncompromising approach. We’re now a case study in what not to do about fascists in your government.

Damn I wish the Biden Admin had chosen this approach over bipartisan “unity.” You can’t unite with a movement powered by lies, racism and outright criminality, it has to be called out and stamped out.

The Internet was a beautiful thing for a while. It is now exclusively for people who are mentally ill. One might think that would make it a niche product, but it remains mainstream by making more and more people mentally ill.

About the same size truck bed, drastic difference in body size.

Every so often I remember the day I stumbled upon this real life comparison between an Austin Mini pick-up and a modern mid-size Chevy pick-up

The bloat in body size & the blandness in style are starting. Thought the truck bed is about the same size.

Always helpful.

Sending ICE to arrest the families of graduating marines shows how little this Admin *actually* respects and values the hard work and self-sacrifice of our military. Their words mean less than nothing; their actions tell the real story.

Hasn’t he already halted weapons transfers and funding?

Interesting that 19-year-old American Barron Trump already has Russian “friends.”

“And the main conclusion is quite simple: the internet in its previous form will not return to Russia. It is no longer seen as a regular service - it is a tool that can be switched on and off depending on the needs and objectives of the authorities.”

The Voter Fraud Fraud There just isn’t evidence of significant election cheating—but that won’t stop the GOP from pushing its dangerous SAVE America Act.

Election fraud is when you lie about very clean and secure elections being riddled with fraud

And his prelude to this was cancelling all our clean energy programs. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I hope James Talarico has good security. This is stochastic terrorism.

The “Save America Act” says that all states “shall” submit their voter registration lists to the DHS’s “SAVE” voter purge program, which has error rates as high as 14% & relies on data from SSA whose databases were mishandled by DOGE. I include this & other parts of the Act in my 8-point summary. 1/

Imagine sending this back in time before 2015, sans identity, and telling the this is for real an official statement from the president of the United States in the future

I think we need to brace ourselves for terrorist attacks.

I have a newsletter I'd like you to subscribe to!

I hopefully sometimes say useful or interesting things.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

BREAKING: Per WaPo, a new whistleblower report alleges a former DOGE member said he kept his SSA computer & credentials, giving him “God-level” access to Social Security systems.

Meanwhile, Trump wants to force every state to rely on SSA data for voter roll purges under the SAVE America Act. 1/
