I suspect one reason they hide their identities is to conceal past restraining orders and DV arrests.

The US Department of Education no longer has an office of special education. It is COMPLETELY GONE.

Sara Partridge, Ph.D. @sarapartridge.bsky.social · 2h

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

The editors of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) were apparently fired today.

The precursor to MMWR began in 1878 to address emerging public health threats rapidly.

We are not “great” without it. We are vulnerable to threats from sporadic foodborne illness to bioterrorism.

The whole internet loves Cola Bottle Nate, a lovely guy who almost kills himself eating Haribro cola bottles! *5 seconds later* We regret to inform you Mr. Rimmington is racist

Nathan Rimmington, 33, is a haulier and owner of an HGV driving school in Barnsley. Huge, tattooed, always sweating and always pining for a pint, he is portrayed in the series as an incorrigible joker: "If the government don't crack down on immigration, my kids will have to go to school on fucking camels."

Not exaggerating at all to say that, if I’d had to pick a photo of what the Antichrist might look like when I was a kid, I’d have picked this one, and if I had to pick a face now for an AI remake of the Manchurian Candidate, this would be it.

Trump said he deserved a cut for brokering the TikTok deal, and at once there was agreement that his son Baron would have a top executive slot... though he hasn't asked for it, and has no apparent qualifications to hold it. This is how Trump 2.0 works. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

Great look, Illinois State Patrol, turning away the priests and nuns. Way to “protect the people of Illinois!”

Please extend our congratulations to them, @govpritzker.illinois.gov.

Wonder what would happen if Pritzker walked up and demanded to inspect the facility.

I think I know, which is why it’s exactly what he should do.

Pretty clear the last thing ICE wants is for ANYONE to actually see and report the condition of the detainees or the environment they’re being kept in.
