Here an underage girl testifies that Epstein vaginally and anally raped her before beating her in fury because Trump had taken her virginity before he could.

Good teaching is giving every student what they need to be successful in your classroom. The stunning thing is, when you manage to do that, your class improves as if by magic. Everyone learns more. Even the teacher. Mr. Barro would be a bad teacher.
A lot of education discourse is at root an inability to decide whether the purpose of our education system is to 1) teach material and measure learning 2) reward students who work hard 3) separate the smart kids (destined for smart guy jobs) from the dumb kids (destined to serve the smart guys)

This week I saw people I thought I liked on here hound Sarah Kendzior, Elizabeth Spiers, and Tim Miller for, respectively, a poor turn of phrase, an offer of generic insight, and a divergent shutdown opinion. These are all people who are, on balance, good. This can’t be The Lottery and work.

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

Remarkable. Seems pretty clear that someone wanted to make an example of him.
at one point, i watched a cook county sheriff’s officer (who appears to be in charge) point out a priest in the crowd.
he and a couple officers then went into the crowd , dragged him into the street, and arrested him.
situation is still tense as crowd jostles with police to get into the street.

When my hometown of Sumter, SC is mentioned, I need to set the record straight.
1. That plant was initiated under Biden, not Trump.
2. It's tied to EVs, which Trump calls a hoax.
3. Trump's "big, beautiful bill" will kill thousands of EV jobs.
Facts matter.

According to the car wash owner, agents arrested employees before they could obtain their documentation from their work lockers. So many were likely here legally.

During the height of the pandemic, Tyson used Palantir to predict Covid-19 infections among meatpacking workers down to a nearly exactly figure. But rather than using this data to increase worker protections, Tyson used it plan for labor shortages + plant closures

Absolutely fitting coda to the whole Epstein horror show is that the brave testimony of dozens of women could not be credited and we need the emails of men to deem it credible.
