Public school aficionado since 1958.

John Dewey had it right:
“What the best and wisest parent wants for his child, that must we want for all the children of the community. Anything less is unlovely, and left unchecked, destroys our democracy.”

Here’s Duke behavioral economist Dan Ariely asking Jeffrey Epstein for “the name and email of the redhead that was here with you.” This is four years after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring a child for prostitution.

We live in a world where a convicted child rapist and sex trafficker is treated better in prison than the children who’ve been detained by ICE.

Ghislaine Maxwell gets to be in a cushy minimum security facility …

5 year old Liam Ramos is locked up in a camp where kids are screaming “let us out”.

Tillis is retiring. He doesn’t have to fear being primaried or facing the general electorate.

He’s voting to fund ICE amid these atrocities because he agrees with what they’re doing.
👀 Every Senate Democrat + Collins and Murkowski just voted for the Bernie Sanders amendment to repeal the $75 billion in additional ICE funding under Trump’s “big beautiful bill.” The measure failed 49-51.

It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall.

But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

The march in Chicago has continued on past Trump Tower and is turning back south into downtown.

The snow is coming down hard now.

As it does, the column chants, "say it once and say it twice, we do not fuck with ICE"

For The Point Reyes shot.
Fantastic longread with photos on the fight over Pt Reyes and the decades of tensions between intergenerational ranchers, environmentalists, and conversations about how we use the land around us—and whether land itself is a passive thing to be used, or a living organism.
Last herd on earth | Food and Environment Reporting Network
It was the tule elk, of all things—those velvet-pelted, doe-eyed creatures once thought extinct—that ultimately drove the organic ranchers, an imperiled species themselves, out of the Point Reyes…

Not to get political, but America is very pretty and has a lot of nice folks making cool things, and I think if we had a president who wasn’t actively trying to murder us, we could have a pretty good time

As usual, Elizabeth Warren is right.
I’m a NO — not one more penny for ICE without stopping this violence. Two American citizens were killed by federal agents.

No more roving patrols. No more secret masked police. No more warrantless raids. Investigate and prosecute ICE crimes.

Get ICE out of Minnesota.
