@lausdsup.bsky.social Alberto M. Carvalho didn’t hold back when expressing his anger & "contempt" after agents with Homeland Security attempted to gain access to 2 elementary schools.

This is the leadership that we expect! Thank you, Dr. Carvalho.

I sense that something else is behind Trump's stance against Canada. What am I missing? It can't be illegal immigrants or the small amount of fetanyl going across the border.

They are also good at blaming the MSM for not telling them when in fact the MSM did — it’s just they didn’t read.
The biggest question is this.

So many people don't read. They don't read the analysis. They don't read the summaries.

But oh they can be fast to tell you not to worry or that it doesn't really mean what it says then turn around and ask why you didn't tell them sooner.

I don't get it.
