Wyoming’s spending on education has to devote a lot of that to infrastructure. School funding has dropped overall because the mineral excise tax isn’t at boom levels of revenue. And ideological takeovers of school curricula accelerate an indoctrination/illiteracy doom loop.

It’s easy to dismiss the horrors of another era as quaint, but in every era there are people who know better, and people who are furious with them. James was PISSED with Scot and Weyer. He could have listened to them. None of these people had to die. None of them should. 7/7

the contrast between seeing US democrats fall over themselves to embrace idiot transphobia all year and tonight seeing footage of the president embracing my (trans) congresswoman, Erika Hilton, at the election night party

The real unfair competition women are being forced into with men is having women's sports constantly separated off as a distinct event which is made to compete commercially with much better funded and socially and institutionally enfranchised men's sporting events & found inadequate by that standard

I’m seeing people reacting by pointing out that he’s obviously wrong. I appreciate that, but it’s also a pointless exercise. The problem isn’t that he’s wrong. The problem is that this is normal in American politics — and it’s been normal for a while.

🇵🇱🇺🇦 Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski: American negotiators are making a mistake by assuming that this is a war only about territory. They think that if Ukraine simply gives up those last two cities in Donbas, Putin will be able to save face and the war will end.

“Shadow docket” is the sort of name you’d come up with if you were writing an authoritarian dystopia.

Riki Wilchins@rikiwilchins.bsky.social

For the 1st time in US history SCOTUS has more rulings on its shadow docket -- unsigned and with no opinions -- than it has cases where it has heard oral arguments and issued signed rulings. IOW they are hiding their deliberations while stealing our democracy. www.propublica.org/article/supr...

Awesome. Now turn all police stations into public spaces, permanently. Turn them into libraries and day cares and open office space and Internet cafes.

And if you get a CPAP and it isn't really working for you, talk to your doctor. You may need a BIPAP instead. (This is their current theory for why I feel like I'm drowning with my CPAP on. My new sleep study is in a couple of weeks.)

Ryan Estrada@ryanestrada.com

I can't tell you how much better I feel in every concievable way since discovering I had severe sleep apnea and getting a CPAP machine. I didn't even know what sleep apnea was as it destroyed my mind body and soul. It can kill you.

I literally don't remember having one. I knew as long as i can remember that I wanted to be Han Solo and kiss Princess Leia. When I was about 5, I realized that was something I should keep to myself.

The White House put an AI video of Hillary, Chuck, Hakeem, Kamala, and Ilan jamming out to The Gap Band’s “Outstanding” like a Tiny Desk concert and described Democrats as “washed up,” but damn they never looked cooler. Total self-own.

We published this story late Friday afternoon amid an avalanche of news so I’m reposting it now because Kohen Wiley’s life mattered more than a box of diapers.

The "protection" narrative promoted by Trump and far-right groups like Heritage is a dangerous fallacy. Trump's DOE has abandoned sexual assault investigations under Title IX. It has set rules that effectively put the survivors of rape on trial and that favor the men accused of victimizing them.

Assigned Media@assignedmedia.org

The Trump administration has worked to portray itself as protecting women and girls through their anti-trans policies. Meanwhile, they've worked tirelessly to undermine protections against sexual assault. Wither Title IX, in this exceptional new reported story by @billiejsweeney.bsky.social.

Hate when people preface videos/posts by saying “TRIGGER WARNING” And don’t say what the trigger is? Keep in mind people get triggered by SA, Gore, domestic violence etc You don’t have to go into detail just say what it is so people could avoid it or continue. Not everyone has the same triggers.

I love being reminded that the audience really doesn’t give a shit about the developers. Like, forget that one of the most influential studios in our industry was just executed by its publisher, just make sure the product continues on the assembly lines!

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

A wrong lesson to take from the Brazilian elections is that voting can defeat fascism. That's not true at all. Democracy is an incredibly frail system and the US almost took over the country through it. ORGANIZED PEOPLE DEFEATED FASCISM

Calli Giovanini COMMS CLOSED@calligiovanini.bsky.social

It's another day, so let's talk about this. First of all, Lula didn't win the election alone. He won because more than half of the country FREAKED THE FUCK OUT and built a popular movement that organized several actions both irl and online.
