Excellent question for the people supporting ICE who are responsible for the huge drop in attendance. We saw it here in LA last year (ICE planned raids during GRADUATION in LA last year. Yes. Graduation.) and attendance directly affects school funding! Hey you OPEN THE SCHOOLS warriors! Where you at
wonder if the many people extremely worried about disruptions to schools caused by covid precautions will comment on this

Where are the learning loss people? It’s hard to learn at school if you’re afraid to go because the secret police might kidnap you.
Charlotte-Mecklebburg Schools, according to reports, saw 15% of its students absent today amid Border Patrol operations in Charlotte. If that percentage of 15% happens Tuesday in Wake County due to the Border Patrol coming to Raleigh, 24.000 students could be absent from school. #nced #ncpol #wcpss

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.

So is NOC Sarah no longer with NBC at all, or just no longer on skating? Used to think it was just no longer skating, but a recent podcast episode made me think differently.
