How do you know? Mamdani won NYC by a convincing margin. Half! Where did that come from? What studies or polls? If the 1/2 is a guesstimate, what is your guess based on?

He’s living in his own universe of billionaires and magagrants. He has no idea about the universe we, the others, inhabit. That is, we who want a fair deal for all, respect the law, want no one to be hungry or lack quality medical care, and who buy their own groceries and know what’s up.

Calif. retreated from its cutting-edge ethnic studies allowing some school districts to eliminate these popular programs altogether. W/ Project 2025 pressure, ed. adm. at all levels are exhibiting a failure of nerve to defend general ed & critical thinking programs. nyti.ms/47K1hUU

How Politics Is Changing the Way History Is Taught
History lessons are being wiped from the internet, and California is retreating from ethnic studies, as education swings away from curriculums that are seen as too progressive.

LEAVITT: Trump is“a builder at heart, clearly…and so…his heart and his mind is always churning about how to improve things…on the White House grounds.”

TRANSLATED DOUBLE SPEAK
“builder”=destroyer, “at heart”=with malice, “his heart”=his fear, “his mind”=his ego, “churning”=scattered, “improve”=harm

I should have written “my adaption, to reflect our times, from a quote by Elena Gorokhova, Russian America author & educator.”

The rules are simple: they lie to us, we know they’re lying, they know we know they’re lying, but they keep lying to us, and [the believers] keep pretending to believe them.

Unimaginable. My solace to the Baileys.

Bernie Sanders spoke @ the end. Walking back to Union Station w/ other protesters, I felt the excitement like I was leaving a college football game for my car. Along the way back the excitement diminished, 5 police at each corner, and National Guard troops and Border Patrol agents at Union Station.

I became uncomfortable seeing these people on the roof. I thought about leaving but help my ground. I thought they were there to protect. But a 50 caliber sniper bullet going into a crowd could cause much “collateral damage,” ie to protesters. Fortunately nothing violent happened. All was at peace.

From what I’ve seen about how ICE agents handle demonstrators & suspected “illegal” immigrants, the agents could use anger management

At the No Kings protest in DC, I stood on the side of Pennsylvania Ave facing the National Gallery of Art. I looked up to the highest roof on the gallery building. I counted 5 people overlooking the crowd with binoculars and two stationed near 2 sniper rifles on stands.
