The main beneficiaries of the Department of Education are disabled kids (IDEA) and working-class and poor Americans (Title I, Pell Grants, work assistance), so of course Trump wants to do away with it.

I want to call this ignorance, but frankly its intentional distortion: Cherry picking 2 photos to make this claim, is just another sign of racists in Turkey going out of their way to scapegoat Syrians on their domestic & economic failures.
This is what Syrians have to deal with.

Israel demonstrating that it preferred the Assad regime, knowing that its military assets would only be used against the Syrian people.
Quite a photo: shows the remnants of the Syrian navy off Latakia, destroyed by Israeli strikes. www.timesofisrael.com/israel-pound...

Thirteen and a half years ago in March 2011, a group of teenagers in Dara'a, Syria spray painted: "Your turn has come, doctor," in reference to Bashar al-Assad. They were arrested and tortured, which led to protests in what would become the Syrian uprising.
Today is for them.
Today is for them.

–Wants a "Long War with Violent Islamism" & bigger Guantanamo
–Fearmongers about Muslims winning elections
–Complains of "legal issues" on torture
–Calls women "distractions"
–Says the US "is the world’s sheriff"

Good thread.
As of this moment, I have more followers here than @democracynowes.bsky.social, which is a bit stupid. So you should all follow them, obviously.
Also a good time for me to talk through my surprisingly complex feelings about the show.
I grew up on it, like a proper lefty...

Yeah. The idea that this will somehow enable Trump to do something he otherwise wouldn’t have is silly.
It looks bad. It’s also understandable. It’s only unforgivable if he doesn’t pair it with a historically huge act of clemency for a ton of people who aren’t his son.

Among others, Trump pardoned Joe Arpaio, Dinesh D’Souza, Bernard Kerik, George Papadopoulos, Charles Kushner, Roger Stone, Paul Manafort and Steve Bannon
