Student: "I heard the rat in Ms. D's room laid eggs!"
First of all, the school's infestation is mice, not rats. Second, I've apparently failed as a science teacher.

A witch hunt has begun at the FBI. Employees are required to provide information by Tuesday and are being encouraged to report on their coworkers. The FBI questionnaire asks agents about their roles in various cases, including whether they made arrests or appeared in court, among other details.

Absolutely correct. None of us can possibly fight this war on every front. We all have to take our respective steps back to regain our focus and coordinate our resistance accordingly.
1/ Your overwhelm is the goal—it’s not accidental. The chaos, the flood of news, the constant crises? The negativity. It’s a strategic manipulation designed to disorient and exhaust you. Here’s how it works and how you can fight back. 🧵 #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

“Vichy Democrat” is a term that needs to catch on!
Look at this useless, idiot Vichy Democrat, happily laying all our heads down on the MAGA chopping block.
My push for tariffs is based on the consensus that it’ll unleash domestic manufacturing — and my desire to create an economy that’s built *for* American workers.

Pushing for justice from every conceivable angle also means that there’s a way for everybody to be involved in the movement in a manner suited to their own means and ideals.

Unelected billionaire Elon Musk continues to expand his power grab, and this time he wants Americans’ most sensitive information, including their Social Security numbers and banking information.
We should all be asking why he wants it…..

I actually wish the media would stop using "DEI" and "diversity hiring" and just get to the essence of the thing and ask:
"Are you saying that this crash was caused by desegregating the races?"
And see what happens.

REPORTER: Are you saying this crash was somehow was the result of diversity hiring?

And sue the shit out of the fuckers, because a lot of those orders go way beyond the bounds of presidential authority. I know the federal judiciary isn’t the most reliable ally right now, but tying them up in court will make a difference.
Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last.
Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.
