That’s not true either (other kids’ learning isn’t harmed by learning alongside children who speak EAL) …

Haven’t we had our fill of imaginary /undeliverable cost savings already…?

An important role promoting children’s inclusion

Monstrous.

"federal agents detained nearly every resident of the 130-unit building—including children and babies—placing them in zip ties and separating them by race into vans for more than two hours early Tuesday morning."

Can’t like this, but yes

If only we knew what the consequences of this would be, from recent history…

Left: NSPCC / Pro Bono Economics
Right: Children’s Commissioner for England.

Some of London’s poorest areas could see their share of the children’s services funding formula halved under Labour’s plans to reform local government grants.

This is a compact for subservience and the suppression of dissent authored by an authoritarian fascist regime.

This poor excuse for a man finds being labelled a rapist too heavy a burden to carry. I’d give him one day carrying the burden he doled out, before he would break. One day with nightmares, flashbacks, and body flooded with stress hormones. And guess what, there is no court of appeal against that.

They should have gone after him legally for his comments during the riots last year. Great mistake to shove all the foot soldiers in jail while letting the ring masters get off scot free.

If the cap fits, wear it. The only people I see ‘crying’ anything are those who have been called to account.

Frankly anyone who uses phrases like ‘crying racism’ / ‘playing the race card’ is confessing their own faults. What exactly is the response they wish to evoke to people who speak the plain truth, that they are using such phrases to position them?

What did we do to deserve living in these times where there is no moral or political courage? Where we are repeatedly told to simply give in to a bunch of foreign agents and fascists?

If a government tells you that you can’t call it authoritarian, it’s authoritarian.

To say that science is never settled is dishonest and dangerous. It is a means of leaving oneself leeway to act against the evidence. He must be robustly challenged on this.

Thank goodness we were smart enough to put in all that effort flattering and appeasing this indispensable ally. Made all the difference. Right?

I think people are missing the point of the tylenol conspiracy. That pregnant women either suffer pain or face actual risks to no other purpose. It’s the same point as all the ‘heartbeat’ abortion stuff. Sadism against women *to keep them in their place* +Autism stigma / mother blame as a ‘bonus’.

If we think we’ve got problems with the birth rate and ageing population now, this would decimate the child population and supercharge the CYP mental health epidemic to boot. It’s wrong on many levels … but completely cracked in this respect.

This has to be a moment of reckoning. Broadcasters must focus on the practical consequences and make them clear. It would be utter, society altering chaos. That should dominate the approach, as it would coverage of any other party's policies.

The increased craziness of Reform's program is going to affect the economy now. With high poll ratings, and a significant chance of forming a government firms will avoid making long term commitments that would expose them to the chaos of Reform's policies.

Reform are now coming after people with permanent residency. It'll be citizens next. No one is safe from authoritarian governments.

NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable.

This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed.

From me for @rollingstone.com:

Earlier this year, ProPublica found that the sepsis rate in second-trimester pregnancy loss hospitalizations increased by more than 50% under Texas’ abortion ban.

Here’s how we did our analysis.

My first academic article was on the dictatorship of Uzbekistan inventing a group called "Akromiya" that did not really exist but which they used to arrest anyone with whom they disagreed under the pretext of "terrorism". Just bringing this up for no reason whatsoever!
