So basically the Trump Admin’s immigration policy is to increase the number of people from other countries who come in and take high-skilled, high paying American jobs, while deporting everyone else doing physically grueling jobs for shit wages?

I'm seeing people dredge up old Twitter shit for the sole purpose of restarting a best diss piñata party and I don't know how to break it to you but that's how that place got so shitty so maybe, like, don't.

The Hunter Biden story is a perfect encapsulation of what’s wrong with American media:

Is it a story? Sure.

But every newspaper in America devoting front page headlines to Hunter fucking Biden while Trump appoints a cabal of rapists, racists and con-men to positions of enormous power is MADNESS.

BREAKING: Hunter Biden just released a statement after being pardoned by President Joe Biden and it’s worth a read. Very well written and the right decision!

A key asymmetry of this era of American politics and how it’s covered is that Trump is expected to do bad and corrupt things, so when he does it barely qualifies as news. But Dems are expected to be beyond reproach, so anything that seems even slightly suspect is a huge scandal.

🧵 1/3:

As an educator I’ll be the first to point out glaring issues in our Ed system:

Why, in an era where disinformation constitutes 90% of online material, is information literacy not taught at *every* grade level? How can we expect a functioning democracy - or society even - without it?

I know it’s just rhetoric, but framing this conflict as Zelensky’s war is psychotic. Russia invaded Ukraine. We promised to support them, help them win this war. Abandoning an ally like this—or forcing them to pay when really they’re fighting our battles—sends a terrible message to our allies.

Den Titel „Trump wëll Walbedruch (…) opdecken“ ass aus verschiddene Grënn täuschend an RTL sollt méi oppassen, wéi si hir Schlagzeile formuléieren, déi d‘ëffentlech Perceptioun op enger Aart a Weis beaflosst, déi net der Wouerecht entsprécht.
