Oklahoma Rep. Mickey Dollens, an educator himself, calls out the chaos in his state’s school system. While leaders chase headlines, kids suffer. Public schools should be safe, welcoming, and fully funded, not abandoned. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...
Opinion | As this schools chief pushes a MAGA agenda, students slip further behind
As Oklahoma's school superintendent promotes himself, 700,000 public school students in the state pay the price for his failures.

Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social in the last 24-36 hours the president said that President Obama wrote the Epstein Files, that his uncle taught the unibomber, and that Biden, not him, appointed Powell. Are you going to make issue of his cognitive state now or you holding out for another book deal?

There is no mass-deportation campaign going on right now. Deportation is a process.

This is kidnapping and human trafficking.

If undocumented workers with no criminal history are being dragged from job sites that they’ve worked at for years, then when do the CEOs, contractors, and farm owners who employed them start getting handcuffed? Or is that not how “justice” works in America?

Don’t you dare look away, White America. Regardless of your vote, if you’re a white American, you share responsibility for this.

This family showed up to their Immigration appointment hopeful, only for I.C.E. to kidnap mom and child. This’ll only, I mean ONLY get worse in the coming months, years.

Public opinion, at its most powerful, is either wind at the back of those speaking up for us or wind in the face of those who won’t.

Sailboats sail thanks to the *resistance* of the wind meeting canvas. Let’s harness the power of political winds and PUSH BACK.💨

I have said this many times before, I want Bluesky to succeed. But it will not do so if it doesn't admit it has a verification problem and solve it. Telling people to change their handle domains is not a solution.

They need to do something and soon or this place will get overrun with scammers.
This account is impersonating me and trying to scam people in my replies. Please report.

fall of Assad is reminder that authoritarians are brittle and we help push them over the edge by sticking with democratic allies (Israel, Ukraine). Both contributed to Assad's collapse.
