#Indiana public schools aren't failing, they're STARVING!
Here, MADVoters' Devon Wellington explains how privatizers and their allies starve public schools of funding and then use the inevitable decline as an excuse to pounce.

they were not premature, in fact it was probably too late by that point. Also this is a great example of how old women are just generally dismissed out of hand most of the time.

We are far past the stage of permissiveness with white-supremacist violence inside DHS. We are witnessing ICE transition into a death squad.
This cannot be reformed. The only question is who will fight to abolish it, and who will accommodate it instead.

Either ICE Is Abolished or It Will Kill Many More Renee Goods
Minnesota is just the beginning of ICE's transformation into a right-wing death squad. But it can be the end

Gee Target, you could really do a lot to repair the damage you did by caving on DEI if a corporation as large and powerful as yourself demanded ICE get out of your state.
A Minnesota state representative said two Richfield Target employees detained by U.S. Border Patrol on Jan. 8 were U.S. citizens and were both injured in the incident.
Target employees detained by federal officers were U.S. citizens, legislator says
Minnesota Rep. Michael Howard, who represents Richfield, said the employees also were injured in the incident.

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

Trump is the symptom of a larger disease. People are increasingly seeing that. Democratic leadership that doesn't meet this moment is complicit
MAGA are exposing all the flaws and vulnerabilities in the system. My worry is that Dems will try to simply revert the system back to 2015 without fixing any of these systemic problems.

/2 This will be grotesque. Edward R. Murrow didn’t have a radio show in 1946 where Eisenhower debated Göring about whether the Nazis had some good points. Today’s media would absolutely do that. Today’s media will platform people defending and rewriting Good’s murder for years.

When Trump’s dead, and if we emerge from whatever white nationalist regime follows him and return to some normality, the media and commentariat are going to do everything in their power to normalize what happened and make it into simple policy differences suitable for “my two guests are.”

Every journalist needs to read this
My Stop the Presses newsletter calls for more aggressive action by the media to be "radically truthful" and defeat the liars:
/ Correct *every* lie uttered on your platform.
/ Put Trump's remarks on tape delay for proper fact checks.
/ Cut off liars in mid-interview and ban them from your airwaves.

#BeGood in honor of Renee Good. In this country that I love, we stand up for our rights and each other. Being good means choosing compassion over cruelty, and humanity over fear. I want to be a good neighbor, a good friend, and a good human. And I know you do too.
