Oh come the f*ck on. It's impossible not to see through this Benioff interview. He's yet another oligarch doing whatever it takes to hang on the zillions in govt contracts & keep Trump from meddling in his business. On top of that, Benioff actually lives in HAWAII.

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 agency is on a hiring spree. But we know what that kind of breakneck expansion of the workforce can result in because we’ve seen it before.

Sure is a lot of tested science stuff in that report. And he got his vaccines at the same time not separately as he feels is the right way.
