Diverse interests - not saying too much for now, I'm mainly going to quietly watch and learn and get a feel for this place. I like what I see so far.

If you voted for Trump in 2024 and finally realize that he lied to get your vote and things aren't going well, it's okay to change your mind.
Write your representative in Congress and tell them how you want them to vote. Tell them how things are going. Tell them to hold Trump accountable.

A few easy hacks (which could have saved my students many downgrades):
♦️"Hindu" describes a religion (adj), or person following it (n). "Hindi" is a language.
♦️"Afghan" (n) is a person. An "Afghani" (n) is a unit of currency.
♦️(Bonus: The Mahatma's name is spelled "GandHi." Not "GHandi.")

There are many disturbing things in this article, but the biggest one is that the editors at @nypost.com don’t know the difference between a language and one of the major religions of the world

I’ve investigated a lot of domestic violence cases and something was gnawing at me about the way Trump lashes out at a female reporters.
Then it occurred to me that “Quiet, piggy!” is probably something Trump’s dad screamed at Trump’s mom.

Yes, and note the irony of her recent words of admiration for Pelosi. Greene dgaf about anyone but herself. I'm pleased that she's suddenly decided to break from Trump but am not going to put that down to a sudden acquisition of decent values. It's self interest all the way.
No one should have to face such threats.
It would’ve been nice if Greene had realized this before she amplified and endorsed calls for executing Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama.
