It’s not just ICE here. The Texas education system is 3-years into a takeover by governor Greg Abbott. Under his take-over, quality of education has been plummeting. Just about all day is spent on computers, with writing only graded by AI. The results on education have been devastating. Students are often 3 years behind grade level in all subjects.

Texas parents who care about their kids’ education, and who have the money to pull their kids out, will be sending their kids to private school. This is by design, to justify Greg Abbott’s school voucher program, wherein there are no public schools, and families are instead given a voucher from the state, and told to kick rocks if they can’t afford private school.

There’s more to the case than that. Sole presence in a market does not make you a de-facto monopoly.

What makes [Ticketmaster+Live Nation] a monopoly is its mass-acquisition of venues, which are rented out with contracts that stipulate that the event must sell admission through Ticketmaster. This is why performers like Taylor Swift call out Ticketmaster publicly, while still selling tickets through them. For most stadium events; if you don’t use Ticketmaster, you don’t have a place to perform.

Do we really want him to be fired? I’d rather the head of the USA FBI be an incompetent moron serial-drinker who yells at all his staff, than a composed rational individual. I sense this is the reason Cole Tomas Allen specifically said “except Patel”. Kash Patel and perhaps RFK Jr. are (unintentionally) following the sabotage manual better than any other federal employee from what we’ve seen.

I agree all of those are terrible, and I hope it’s clear I didn’t ever even remotely consider voting for the guy; but you realize why none of those things really matter to the average American who is struggling to get by every day, right?

Like: mocking leaders’ deaths, mocking people with disabilities, having affairs with porn stars… – those are all terrible, inhumane, and “un-professional” things for the person to do; but when you’re desperate for some change and lost faith in the other party, it makes sense that voters would be willing to ignore those. Perhaps these aspects are indicators of what the guy would do in office; but most people in this country don’t think that deep into anything.

The involvement in Epstein’s sex-trafficking ring is a powerful point because it hits just about every group with disgust. For the rest of this, I’d just focus more on Trump’s ties to Big Tech and Big Finance; because that’s the avenue that people feel the effect of. That and this country’s shitty Medical system.

wait wtf you’re right. did someone hit him over the head with a hammer? Why is there a giant Band-Aid over half his forehead???

I’ve been hoping some MAGA Republican would do the job for over a year now :P

OoooOooooOOh I am the ghooost of Bailey past. WOOOoooOOOOOoooo you have to baaaack Israeeeel.

While bridge traffic in both directions was closed at times on Friday and overnight, the bridge is reportedly open to traffic Saturday morning, though with some lane restrictions, as law enforcement said a “barricade situation” with the protester continued.

He shut down a bridge for a day and closed off a lane. Standing atop a bridge absolutely means something. Even with a lack of disregard to human life, if your body falls onto a vehicle, that would cause real damage.

they’ll probably end up sitting in the kitchen of a bunch of divorce-able old men. The only flesh those knives will be cutting into will be steak burnt on a gas stove.

This is a valid and essential role. Remember when the corporate media was spamming out all those articles on “quiet quitting”? This is exactly what they fear. If you show up to work, clock in, do nothing of value, and clock out, you’re costing your workplace money AND denying them that role.

If I could, I’d do the same. Apply to be some office grunt at Meta or Amazon, sweet talk my manager, do a bunch of meaningless work like configuring things on the PC and taking inventory of random shit, and then clock out. Gamify metrics. Plan stupid projects with the corpo chatbot. Burn money and time. It’s one of those “death by 1000 cuts” actions, and it benefits each individual person because you still get paid. Win-win.

ohhhh fuuuuck the “troubled teen industry”. This is a nightmare of a can to crack open and the more you learn about it, the more you’ll hate the medical and legal systems in this country. Reader beware.

seriously… we’re talking about global elites who are raping and killing people. just say the words… ;-;

The bill is cosponsored by Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-Ill.), the daughter of Guatemalan immigrants who, she said, worked multiple minimum-wage jobs just to get by.

They said “a pair” so I’m dropping that for the Illinois folks.

I’d presume most tech-savvy people don’t have a smart TV, Windows 11 with copilot, a “smart” home system, or refrigerator with AI integrated.

Sounds like we have the same observations and feel the same frustrations about them. I look forward to being branded an agitator :')

Okay this is great that she’s free and all, but can we stop for a second and think about what happened here? A woman was grabbed off the street, beaten and brutalized (I’ve seen the arrest footage), and ripped out of her life, while being 100% peaceful and obedient.

I’m so sick of the one-sided violence, while we’re told to obey and be peaceful and whatever else.

One of the other traders was Virginia independent Mark Moran, who is running for Senate. Kalshi said Moran bet in October that he would announce a political run, and then publicly launched his campaign in January.

In an interview with CNN, Moran said the trades were a stunt so that a “longshot” candidate like himself could draw attention to “illegal gambling” happening on prediction sites.

Yeah I support this guy’s use. Really, it’s the system that is the problem; not the individual politicians. Besides, the President of the USA has done far worse.

I pray this ignites the general strike we’ve been yearning for. I’ll walk around town and see if I spot any folks. I’m looking forward to this!

A dozen will be an understatement. The tournament games span over a week. I think 100 is a closer figure, if FIFA doesn’t get their wish of ICE going on ‘vacation’.
