Public school teachers perform one of the most important functions in society while being severely under compensated & mostly unrecognized for their contributions to this country.
A truly unhinged, out-of-touch & elitist take.

The federal govt has a treaty obligation 2 Native nations. The federal services we get are not a hand out, but a legally binding duty. A new Government Accountability Office report found that due to staffing cuts those treaty obligations r not being met.

Like the old saying goes, when you have your opponent on the ropes you make a deal to give him 1-2 weeks to recover
Latest intel: The 5 govt funding bills will pass, & the 6th, the DHS bill, will get a continuing resolution to buy time to negotiate whatever these conditions in ICE are. The fight right now btwn Schumer & the White House is how long that CR will be. The WH wants 3 months; Schumer wants 1-2 weeks.

Federal law enforcement agents shot and killed a man in Minneapolis on Jan. 24 according to local police officials. DHS told Fox News that the man was “armed with a gun”. A video of the shooting appears to show that a gun was taken from the man before the first shot was fired. x.com/BillMelugin_...

I keep thinking about them saying "haven't you learned [from Renee Good's murder]" and... they don't understand why people are still coming out after they've shown they can and will kill us, because they're cowards, and they don't understand what it's like not to be a coward

It would be a mistake to see Trumpism as authoritarianism imposed on an unwilling nation, as opposed to authoritarianism implemented in a nation with a plurality that is already made up of authoritarian bootlickers who created the context for Trumpism to thrive.

/7 Here, the Trump Administration’s lies about the murder victim did not impact her property rights because the Trump Administration had already murdered her.
In short, our federal government can usually kill, kidnap, abuse, and lie about us with impunity.

It's incredible what you can do when you just say words and don't believe they actually mean anything. I would wonder how these assholes sleep at night, but the simple answer is that they're sociopaths.

They shoot journalists because they see truth as the enemy.
Law enforcement in Los Angeles shot non-lethal rounds that struck at least 4 reporters while covering protests that began on Friday and escalated over the weekend following immigration raids. Trump deployed 2,000 National Guard members to the state against local authorities' wishes. cpj.org?p=486855
