This profile has been scrubbed from the site. Rose Ferreira grew up without reliable electricity, immigrated to NY, then survived homelessness and cancer on her way to NASA. She was so moved by images from the Webb telescope she wept. This is what’s at stake

What stood out to me is the last line about Columbia FORCING their criminals into the US. I don't recall hearing about any flights loaded with known criminals being sent to the US by any foreign government. On the other hand, Trump forced 1500 known criminals onto the streets of the US.

We are already 50th in starting teacher pay and 49th in educational funding and Missourians spend $700/year more than drivers in nearby states because of our shitty roads.
I’m sure eliminating the state income tax will help Missouri’s defunded public schools and crumbling roads.

According to PEN America's most recent report, “Nineteen Minutes” by @jodipicoult.bsky.social—a book about a school shooting—is now the most banned book in American schools.
Meanwhile, active shooter drills have expanded to schools in 40 states.
