When I taught middle school in Texas, the summer program was a community builder. Students got out of the heat and off the street, with supervised access to the gym, library, and art rooms. Everyone got fed. Each day, many asked if they could take the extra food home.

The governors of a dozen Republican-led states — AL, AK, FL, GA, IA, MS, OK, SC, SD, TX, UT, WY — opted out of a new federal food assistance program, leaving about 9.5 million students without the aid this summer

My guess is that Trump knows very little about P25 *and* it will be the blueprint for his administration. He’s famously bored by policy. He’ll appoint these people because they’re loyal. They’ll then go to work on the plan while he grifts, golfs, and gives two-hour speeches at rallies.

Sometimes I get really paranoid and wonder if AI isn't really just a half-baked mistake but an intentional effort to keep the populace misinformed and wary of the truth.

Can someone tell me where NYT hid Trump's attempts to disown Heritage's fascist project? I mean, holy hell, that's the only reporting on Trump they do anymore?

I just want to save this series of tweets for posterity. Hopefully, we’ll have a chance to go back over what’s going on here when tempers have cooled.

There's still journalism out there that works to, you know, expose corruption and seek justice. The NYT has made it a fashion issue.

One striking detail in this story: The Pastor at Lake Church, where Mark Robinson gave this speech, told me he and Robinson expected these remarks to be "scrutinized." Then the Pastor defended them! (also worth noting Christian Nationalist overtones in rest of speech cc @sarahposner.bsky.social)

NEWS --> Mark Robinson, the MAGA extremist GOP nominee for governor in North Carolina, appeared to endorse political violence against unnamed foes in a recent speech. "Some folks need killing!" he shouted. "It's a matter of necessity!" Video and story here: newrepublic.com/article/1834...

Look at everything in the Splatoon games, from the art to the music, and then imagine AI doing anything better.
