Happy to retire in ‘24 after 25yrs of teaching in a PreK-8 NYC public school. I don’t miss the early morning wake-ups but I do miss the many little & big scholars I was able to meet, teach & hopefully inspire. I’m also a cat & dog dad, twin & uncle.

An initially-secret report for Customs and Border Patrol in 2013 found:
In many vehicle shooting cases, the “driver was attempting to flee from the agents who intentionally put themselves into the exit path of the vehicle, thereby … creating justification for the use of deadly force.”

1/ Who wins in a war where the US invades Greenland ?
A war where the US invades a European territory, thus triggering Article 5, thus putting NATO countries at war with another NATO country.
Who would benefit from that?
VLADIMIR VLADIMORVICH PUTIN.
and Xi Jinping.

This seems to strongly suggest that the incoming president of UVA doctored his CV to the edge of outright dishonesty, and that the most recent changes came months before Jim Ryan was forced, as if they were made in anticipation in Ryan’s removal. augustafreepress.com/news/vanishi...

I too think it's pretty obvious that Trump is either A )a direct Russian asset that has been compromised for quite a while, B) Putin just has dirt on Trump due to Russian interference in both of Trump's election "victories" and has been leveraging that the entire time C) All-of-the-fucking-above.

He and the regime are emboldened! They feel unstoppable! So far we have not given any reason for them to feel otherwise. We the people have been protesting, getting peppered, shoved, shot at and even murdered.

The message from the White House this morning is that, once again, it falls on ordinary American citizens to remain calm and professional when dealing with the heavily armed agents of the government because they are very emotional and might fly off into a murderous rage at the slightest insult.

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

This guy is in Minneapolis standing before an American citizen in an SUV.
The only reason he's brandishing an assault rifle is because he wants the people he's purportedly there protecting to feel terrorized by his presence.
This is not protection. This is occupation.
