The Democrats cannot even bring themselves to talk about reducing the ICE budget (which was TRIPLED out of the blue and no one knows how exactly such sums could ever be spent even on the vast network of concentration camps and private contractors) to, say, its already-record 2024 levels.

We had to put up with school shootings because "the 2nd Amendment"
But watch ICE eliminate the right to bear arms by executing anyone they find with a gun and to hell with the 2nd Amendment.
ICE will soon be killing citizens in their own homes because they're scared there might be a gun inside.

Alex Pretti's gun is like Renee Good's car: irrelevant to the central fact that they were murdered by ICE. ICE wants us to debate whether Pretti should have been carrying because that avoids the central fact. Pro-carry, anti-carry--that has as much to do w/ his murder as his fashion choices. Zero.

Deep in Frederick Douglassland as I tinker with this unit—going to have kids read 6 of his speeches and the “narrative.” I do think every American kid should get to read this paragraph in context; I think it’s the best English language para about reading.

this is a small thing but it would be nice to feel good about paying taxes. i would like to write a check to the government and think about kids going to school and freshly paved roads not all the death squads my income helps fund.
The Trump-Vance administration just used your taxes to pay for ICE agents to kill a 37-year-old nurse, who was only there because another ICE agent killed a 37-year-old mother of three, who was only there because ICE agents are kidnapping your neighbors

A caring, 37 year old male US citizen who worked in the Minneapolis VA ICU as a nurse caring for sick veterans.
This is shameful and indefensible.

Something I’ve been reflecting on lately in helping Ts cultivate a culture of classroom dialogue: half the battle is believing that what kids say is an expression of a rich internal world that’s shaped by beliefs, experiences, feelings and hopes…and that world has value all on its own.

ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city.
If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.

I read this book in 4th grade. For years, until high school maybe, I said it was my favorite book.
I’ve since realized that I could not possibly have grasped more than a fraction of the weight of it at that time.
That’s quite a statement about the value of sitting with a story that speaks to you.
