@LongTimeHistoryTexas school district plans to segregate 5,000 students with disabilities—bus them to far away separate, but equal facilities.
Now even Trump’s Dept. of Education has opened civil rights investigation.
“Longer bus rides could create challenges for students with medical needs,” federal government report states.
“Schools cannot exclude students with disabilities simply because of their disability status.”
The school district’s plan would move kids from their neighborhood schools starting this year—to designated “Special Education Specialty Schools.”Parents argue that it removes children from their communities, long-time friendships, routines, and established support networks.
Houston Independent School District officials claim busing students with disabilities will help the district address long-standing compliance issues.

Texas’ largest school district is consolidating special education services to select campuses beginning in 2026-27.This prompted an ongoing investigation by the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights.
One of the parents’ core concerns about the changes is that they were issued without the families’ consent.
“It’s unethical, it’s amoral, it’s illegal,” Mayer Cunningham said of the district’s changes.
Despite the investigation, Houston ISD has defended the changes and is moving forward with them.Link to full story:

The numbers are in, and they are devastating.
5,000,000 Americans have dropped their Affordable Care Act coverage.
Here’s why.
Premiums on these plans doubled, on average, from last year to this one.
Deductibles hit a record high.
And families who were getting by suddenly found a monthly bill they simply could not pay.
So they did the only thing they could. They gave up the coverage they needed. And it did not have to be this way.
The reason costs exploded is that Trump and Republicans in Congress let the tax credits that kept these plans affordable expire. We fought to extend them.
We warned, for months, exactly what would happen if those credits went away.
Republicans pushed their agenda through anyway, in their Big Ugly Bill, and chose tax breaks for billionaires over keeping a working family’s doctor visit within reach.
Now look at how they’re trying to spin it.
The administration wants you to believe this drop is about fraud. That’s nonsense and they know it. Independent health policy experts have looked at the data and reached the same conclusion. People did not disappear because of some crackdown. They disappeared because they could not afford the bill anymore.
When you double someone’s premium, they drop the plan.
This is not complicated.
It is as cruel and cynical as it gets. And the people who did this are going to answer for it.

Deliberate professional malpractice by the MSM
Mike Young
@micyoung75
Elias’s comparison is the one worth sitting with. When Bill Clinton briefly boarded Loretta Lynch’s plane on a Phoenix tarmac in 2016 and they talked about grandchildren and golf – no documented request, no documented outcome, a conversation – the media treated it as a scandal that required weeks of coverage. Trump stood at a podium in Pennsylvania, described personally calling a federal prosecutor to investigate an election while his preferred candidate was losing, and the Pennsylvania federal prosecutor was sitting in the audience being publicly thanked. Elias: none of the reporters present found this worthy of a question.
The normalization that allows that to happen is not benign. When the president describes using the federal prosecution apparatus to intervene in a state election and it registers as a moment of rally color rather than a constitutional question, the mechanism that would otherwise produce accountability has been eroded. That erosion is itself the story underneath the story.

Did you know @DemSocialists is just like @AIPAC, in that they can BOTH take foreign donations?
The DSA hides its donors behind its IRS 501(c)(4) status, allowing donors to remain anonymous, just like AIPAC does.
It appears that the DSA is as potentially corrupted by foreign money as socialist candidates in the U.S. claim AIPAC is. Is this the classic tactic of blaming your opponent for what you are in fact doing yourself?
If AIPAC is dark foreign funding according to the DSA, and the DSA is not, why doesn’t the DSA voluntarily release its donors and donation amounts?

Many of us had never heard of @Scott_Wiener until this week, when this video landed on our timelines.
From that video, we learned a few things.
We learned that Scott is a California State Senator. We learned that he has spent years crafting legislation to reduce harm, particularly for the LGBTQ community, and serving his constituents through the legislative process. We learned that he has earned the opportunity to continue moving forward because his work demonstrates the kind of leadership that can benefit far more communities.
We also learned something about his character.
In the face of hostility and political antagonism, Scott remained calm, composed, and focused. Rather than escalating the situation, he chose to leave to protect the people who invited him. He showed leadership and discipline. That is someone putting people ahead of ego.
At a time when outrage often dominates our politics, leaders who stay focused on solving problems deserve to be recognized.
So follow Scott. Uplift Scott. Support Scott’s campaign if you’re able. Help amplify leaders who are committed to reducing harm, crafting thoughtful policy, and serving the people with integrity.
Thank you, Scott. x.com/decadimitry/st…

@anishmoonka
A 12-year-old boy was swimming in a few feet of water off Alaska when an orca shot straight at him at full speed. It bumped his shoulder, then folded its body in half, turned, and swam back out to sea. The boy was unharmed. The researcher who described it said the orca realized at the last second that he was not food.
Wild orcas have killed zero humans in all the years people have kept records. Not one person, in any ocean, ever. The same animal, kept in a marine park tank, has killed four people.
They could if they wanted to. An orca can kill a blue whale, the biggest animal that has ever lived. Off South Africa, pods flip great white sharks upside down, hold them still until they stop moving, and eat the liver. The sharks leave those waters and stay away for up to a year.
What an orca will eat comes down to one thing: what its family taught it to hunt as a baby. Scientists have found at least ten different kinds of orca around the world, and each kind eats only a short list of foods. Some hunt only salmon. Some hunt only seals. One group near Antarctica eats just one kind of fish. A salmon-eating pod will swim right past a seal, because no one ever taught them to catch seals.
Baby orcas learn the family diet from their mothers and grandmothers, the same way you learned which things in your kitchen are food. This gets passed down for generations and almost never changes. Different kinds share the same water, ignore each other, and don’t even breed with each other. Humans were never on a single one of those lists. We are just not something an orca’s mother ever taught it to eat.
There is one exception on record. In 1972, a surfer off California was bitten hard enough to need more than 100 stitches. He was in a black wetsuit with sea lions swimming nearby. The orca let go the moment it realized its mistake and left.
And wild orcas do more than leave us alone. In a 2025 study, scientists recorded 34 separate times, over 20 years and in oceans all over the world, when wild orcas swam up to people and offered them food. Fish, birds, pieces of seal, a whole stingray, once a sea turtle. Each time, the orca dropped its catch next to the person and waited to see what they would do.

In 1971, a corporate lawyer named Lewis Powell wrote a memo that quietly became the blueprint for everything you’re watching happen right now.
The memo was titled “Attack on American Free Enterprise System.”
Powell’s argument: American business was under siege — from the left, from campuses, from consumer advocates like Ralph Nader, from the media.
His solution wasn’t to lobby harder. It was to build permanent infrastructure.
It wasn’t published. It wasn’t debated. It was sent directly to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
Two months later, Nixon put Powell on the Supreme Court.
And the rest, as they say, is history.

The term “white boy” was thrown like a slur, my earliest memory being kindergarten. I didn’t even understand I was white until they thrown it in my face consistently.
Raised in schools that taught everyone is the same, the kids surely didn’t feel that, and I was made sure of it.
I moved around a lot, many homes, and many schools, but the same ethnic warfare existed in every school.
I made my first white friend in 7th grade, being the only 2 in the school. It was happenstance to be honest. Friends to this day.
Moral of the story, the radicalizing nature of demographic replacement radicalized me.

So white Americans that experience racism, discrimination and bullying on the basis of their race during childhood get radicalized, but under the same premise, they can’t seem to understand the psychological toll that the same level of racism, bullying and discrimination affects young black American children in America.
Which is usually tenfold more on average.
Not to mention, those young black American children tend to grow up trying their best to fight against racism, whereas apparently young white American children, when they experience racism only think about wanting to inflict that pain back.
Very interesting.

“Russell Vought is on a mission. He wants to take over all federal grant making and re-make it in his image. He is a dangerous ideologue who wants to inflict trauma on the whole nation. He is cruel and he has a plan. Only we can stop him,” Gonsalves writes.

Been thinking about Data Centers. Trying to understand why the average American (YT person) has caught on so quick about Data Centers.
I believe it’s because you can’t Culture Wars them
Can’t blame them on Black and Brown folks or scapegoat the transgender community.
There is no OTHER to blame.

What this means is that the jury verdict that determined that @realDonaldTrump had sexually abused my friend E. Jean Carroll by penetrating her vagina with his fingers, and therefore had defamed her by denying that he had done so, will stand as a final and conclusive judgment.
The highly respected district judge who tried the case, the Hon. Lewis A. Kaplan, correctly stated multiple times that the jury’s finding of sexual abuse under New York law meant that, in common parlance and under the law of most jurisdictions, Donald Trump was found to have raped E. Jean.
So henceforth and forever more, it will be completely accurate—and utterly inactionable under the common and constitutional law of defamation—to state the following fact:
DONALD J. TRUMP IS AN ADJUDICATED RAPIST.

Notice how the far-Left, especially the young Tankie kids, are adopting word-for-word the same racist, antisemitic ‘destroy Israel’ rhetoric that’s been used by white supremacist Neo-Nazis for decades. That’s by design, not by mere chance….

Wow.
Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) floor speech on Trump Admin. corruption has now received 1 million views
He opens the remarks by arguing that Trump has turned the White House into a 24/7 corruption operation

Dear Republicans, serious question: what are your expectations of FEMA going forward?
🚨 FEMA cut thousands of employees over the last 18 months. Internal plans and related lawsuits revealed a goal of reducing the agency’s workforce by as much as 50%, including major cuts to disaster-response staff by October 2026.
So when the next major disaster hits your town, what’s the plan?

I completely understand.

Sometimes I feel like I’m going crazy when people talk about Democrats standing in the way of increasing the social safety net because Joe Biden tried to advance legislation where millennials would be paid to take care of their elderly relatives. Also universal preschool.

Most police depts now restrict car chases.
But Trump admin gave Park Police free rein. “We got that rule changed in 24 hrs…The next night, they had so much fun.”
Last week, police chased a stolen car in DC. The car killed a 46 y/o deliveryman on a moped.
