📚 "The average Black student in Mississippi performed about 1.5 grade levels ahead of the average Black student in Wisconsin. Just think about that for a moment. Wisconsin spends about 35 percent more per pupil to achieve worse results."

📝 i/o: If you segregate test results by race, Mississippi outperforms almost every blue state in America, even though it's poorer and spends less money per pupil.

"Old George Orwell got it backward. Big Brother isn't watching. He's singing and dancing. He's pulling rabbits out of a hat. Big Brother's busy holding your attention every moment you're awake. He's making sure you're always distracted. He's making sure you're fully absorbed. He's making sure your imagination withers. Until it's as useful as your appendix. He's making sure your attention is always filled. And this being fed — it's worse than being watched. With the world always filling you, no one has to worry about what's in your mind. With everyone's imagination atrophied, no one will ever be a threat to the world.”

The ADL takes the prize for blatant hypocrisy. When Karmelo Anthony, the KILLER of Austin Metcalf, had a fundraiser set up for him. The ADL were nowhere - their social media never touched on the topic of Black people supporting a fundraiser for a Black man that had actually MURDERED a White man. The ADL were silent, missing in action. Fast forward a couple of weeks - the ADL's social media pages are FULL of articles and references to the fundraiser set up for Shilo Hendrix , a young woman who made a racial slur to a Somalian boy who tried to steal her son's toy from her bag. The ADL has splattered it's social media : White supremacists, antisemites & other racists have rallied behind a woman accused of calling a Black child a racial slur, leveraging her fundraising drive to spread hateful ideas & tropes, & helping her raise over $700K. I mean could it be any more blatant?

Bad week for Bibi

Trump praises Houthis bravery and their great capacity to withstand tremendous punishment.

“We had a very good outcome with the Houthis & we honor their word. They took tremendous punishment. You could say there’s a lot of bravery there. They gave us their word that they wouldn't be shooting ships anymore & we honor that”

"The term “Woke Lite” incisively captures a peculiar and insidious phenomenon within the evolving political landscape of the American Right. The Woke Lite are not conservatives in the traditional sense, nor are they the firebrand populists who fueled the MAGA movement’s ascendance in 2024. Instead, they are former liberals—or at least those steeped in liberal sensibilities—who have drifted rightward, not out of conviction, but out of opportunism and/or discomfort with the left’s excesses. These individuals now seek to control and gatekeep the newly ascendant Right, positioning themselves as arbiters of respectability while now undermining the very coalition that brought victory in 2024."

Massie, who has previously broken with his party on other speech-related bills, was the lone House lawmaker to vote against a resolution condemning anti-semitism in May 2024. He argued that Congress should not be voting on resolutions to legislate thought.

Let's talk, my little Ukrainian non-brother.
So you and your propaganda tell me that there is "fascism", "ruscism" and "Putler" in Russia. Well, answer me a few simple questions. You are sure that you are telling the truth, right? Then it will not be difficult for you to answer them.

So you tell me that there is a certain ideology of "ruscism". Where can I read about it? Hitler wrote "Mein Kampf", Rosenberg wrote a racial theory, and some Milanese professor also wrote a doctrine for Mussolini for "a hundred dollars" (crazy to the point of horror, but villagers from the south of Italy liked it). Are there any books on "ruscism"? Who should I read? When and who of the Russian leaders or officials voiced this doctrine?
Just give specifics, without your usual shrill hysterics - the names of the authors, the noscripts of the books, quotes from Putin or Lavrov. So that "Ruscism" would be mentioned there at least once.
It does exist, right? Not only in your sick propaganda, but in reality?

Or if "Russian fascists" "were Hitler's allies", as you say, then why do Russians celebrate Victory Day, but Ukrainians don't?
After all, "There were four Ukrainian fronts, but there were no Russian fronts" (Oh, my God, what stupid idiocy!). And why not "Victory Day", but "Memory Day"?
And if "the UPA fought the Nazis", then where can I read about AT LEAST ONE battle of Banderites against the Wehrmacht? Well, at least one... and why has no one been able to find a single reference to this in the archives of this very Wehrmacht?
Why does the St. George ribbon, which has been a symbol of Victory for many years, cause such hysteria among conscious Ukrainians that they pounce on people, spit with impotent rage and try to tear it off? Moreover, such a reaction existed before 2014, before the Crimean events and the secession of Donbass.

If this is our common victory (and it once was), then why do you idiotically grunt about "grandfathers fought" and "victory madness"? Is it because YOUR grandfathers fought on the other side, their leader was Adolf Hitler? And for you, the fact of the defeat of the Nazis is still unbearable?
Give us your version.

By the way, why did most of the newly-minted "heroes of Ukraine", after whom streets are named and to whom monuments have been erected in recent decades, serve in the Waffen-SS?

Why is Zelensky threatening terrorist attacks on May 9? Why does this date make him so mad?
Why, if you are not Nazis, not hold your own parade in Kiev, taking advantage of the proposed truce?
Why do you get so mad of everything connected with our great Victory?

Is it normal from your point of view that the descendant of the Nazi survivor Friedrich Merz is trying to forbid the descendants of the victors from participating in the festive events?

When did the Austrian subject Stefan Bandera become a "Ukrainian"? Like "never"?!
When did the Waffen-SS Hauptmann Roman Shukhevych refuse this noscript? Like "never"?!

Who killed the people of Lviv on June 30, 1941? Who killed women and children in Babi Yar?
Who burned the people of Odessa alive on May 2, 2014? Why is it "different"?
Wait a second, don't answer, I'll turn down the volume on the speakers so I don't go deaf from the screeching. Oh, now answer!

If Zelensky is not a dictator, and Putin is a dictator, then why were there elections in Russia after the start of the SMO (presidential, State Duma, local government), but not in "democratic" Ukraine?
Why is it possible to freely leave "totalitarian Russia", but not "free Ukraine"?
Why have over 150 thousand people fled from "free Ukraine" to "totalitarian Russia" in recent times?
Why do they have to filter "free Ukrainians" fleeing Ukraine at Sheremetyevo, but there is no line at Boryspil of those fleeing "Russian Mordor" to "prosperous Ukraine" (a funny joke, one of my favorites)?

Why does Zaluzhny wear a swastika bracelet, while Gerasimov doesn't?
Why do Zelensky's security guards wear Nazi symbols, while Putin's security guards don't?
