GUARDIAN: “~15 of every 16 Palestinians the Israeli military has killed since its renewed offensive in Gaza began in March have been civilians, data collected by the independent violence-tracking organisation Acled indicates.” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/... This is a SET UP‼️

New York does not miss. The bleach did it for me. 😭

These are not mutually exclusive. They are doing BOTH!

Trump's former FEMA chief opens up — and says administration is 'delaying' aid Politico The truth comes out day after 181 current and former FEMA employees letter accused Trump admin of weakening agency. 36 FEMA employees who signed letter were put on paid leave Speak truth to power bit.ly/3UV4AS6

The extent to which ICE is ignoring all civil rights and due process is astounding — and indicative of a culture where they’ve been told they can do literally no wrong. Agency and admin leaders must face sanctions and legal consequences.

Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations. The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu: “Silence in the face of oppression is not an option. The U.S. Attorney General asked for a response by today. So here it is…Stop attacking our cities to hide your administration's failures.”

This too cannot be emphasized enough: the tools are no longer "out there," some other website where you need an account and maybe a subscription. They're in the browsers, in the productivity software, and in the courseware. To cut them out of the loop will now require enormous energies. +

Not all students will use these tools and not all will have access to them. But increasingly institutions are looking to provide that access and are encouraging use of the tools in at least qualified ways. (And this is to say nothing of the workplace environment or general social expectations.) +

This is neither doomerism nor capitulating to “inevitability.” It’s a factual baseline for the current conditions of student writing. I say this as someone who has spent a career studying writing technologies and their impacts. (Deep background thread: bsky.app/profile/mkir...). +

To the extent asynchronous written work has been the traditional object of assessment in a variety of classes and disciplines, there are now tools in place that can furnish transactionally serviceable surrogates for many or most cases. +

www.chron.com/politics/art... Omfg !! Outrage A black woman Just doing what her constituents want her to do A convicted felon has more freedom than she does STAND WITH TEXAS DEMOCRAT REPRESENTATIVE NICOLE COLLIER

🚨 PLEASE SHARE 🚨 If you’re in Austin, there is a current call to show up at the Capitol building 1100 Congress Ave. - tonight 08/17 at 7:00pm. The Texas GOP is holding Democratic Rep. Nicole Collier hostage. She refused to sign a “permission slip” that would require a police escort!

This is a good breakdown if interested -- I hate that Trump has repeatedly ruled out Ukraine entering NATO. Because of his siding with Putin, people are dying, children are being trafficked and abused. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

He had the leaders of the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Finland, Ukraine, the EU and NATO in the White House and he made them wait while he went to get instructions from Putin ... For forty minutes?!

James Madison was elected in 1812 during the War of 1812. Abraham Lincoln was elected in 1864 during the Civil War. FDR was elected in 1944 during WWII. JBJ & Nixon were elected in 1964 & 1972 during the Vietnam War. George W. Bush was elected in 2004 during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

And then I asked... How long ago in history did Russians form their own country? Just a history lesson that Trump, and Putin need to understand.

Just a little history lesson. Not Putin's made up rantings. Putin needs Google. I asked Gemini...(ya, I know), Is it true that Kyiv is almost 3 times older than Moscow? Answer...

Actual question: It has been only 72 hours since the disastrous puppeteer/puppet show in Anchorage. Has there yet been a background story on how, and by whom, this emergency intervention of *eight* big-time world leaders was pulled together, over a weekend?

The reason Trump got his ass handed to him on Friday is bc ALL Trump's power is built on Russian disinfo--"RussiaRussiaRussia." And Putin just made it clear he can destroy that with glee. www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3hT...

They might be making Trump mad, but Newsom has been throwing these at the press -- if you think these are beneath my office, why don't you say that when the president does the same thing? He's exposing that the media has a separate set of standards for Our Very Special Boy and that's good.

This is the point. And it's finally starting to break through. It's getting attention. Newsom may not be the best option for president and I'm certainly hoping someone else comes along, but right now he's the only one REALLY punching back hard in the way that's breaking through.

DC Mayor Muriel Bowser has posted statement saying: “American soldiers and airmen policing American citizens on American soil is UnAmerican”

regular reminder that the whirling death machine is not invincible and it falls apart if enough people just refuse to do what they’re told

When I say that I want to see elected Dems do something, THIS IS WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT!👇 You pave the way, Governor Newsom! #Pinks #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1

AG Bondi says a DOJ employee has been fired after he was arrested for allegedly throwing a wrapped Subway sandwich at a federal law enforcement officer in Washington, D.C. Following his arrest, the man allegedly told one of the arresting officers: “I did it. I threw a sandwich.” wapo.st/3Uq59TN

The guy who swims in sewage is supposed to help America get healthy? Leslie Jones (@lesdoggg.bsky.social) isn't so sure

Mississippi ranks #1 in poverty and fetal mortality. Syphilis has been declared an epidemic there, but by all means, close Planned Parenthood, cut Medicaid and make getting condoms and birth control harder for everyone.

Trump has stolen $584 million from contracts that UCLA was awarded to conduct research, and all he is asking is ... checks notes ... $1,172 million in cash to release the stolen funds. I believe the secret to a successful protection racket is to keep the theft (and violence) to a tolerable level.

Epstein’s survivors deserve answers, not silence. The DOJ can’t claim to stand for justice while ignoring the very people who risked everything to expose the truth.

#ProudBlue Heritage Foundation just magically ‘found’ a bonus batch of jobs this morning—turns out America’s economic glow-up was hiding in unpublished charts all along. Who knew? Meanwhile, the rest of us are still waiting for the jobs fairy to show up. I feel like I’m going crazy. 🤪

On Threads yesterday, a retired airline exec said that trump’s plane went to Epstein Island 37 times. They keep the flight plans for 10 years. If true, why is this not all over the news? This info wouldn’t be in Epsteins files but would be found in trumps files. No one is thinking about this.

Well L👀k here⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

I would have students saying they worked harder when I would assign a limerick (A LIMERICK!) than the essays they'd done in school because they got a kick out of trying to make a rhyming setup and punchline within the form. A LIMERICK!
