"Studies of homeĀ­schooled populations show that children's academic achievement depends heavily on their parents' education background. But in 40 states parents do not need to have even a high school-level education to educate their children at home."

If Congress canā€™t or wonā€™t expand the Court, Iā€™d love to see a Dem Congress (if that ever happens again) just zero out all support budget. In particular: no clerks. Hard to gut democracy AND hang out at billionaire mansions if you have to make up history entirely on your own.

Under 20% of Americans live in rural places, but they feel entitled to 100% of the policies. Hell yeah theyā€™re ā€œcircumventingā€ your voices. Bc people vote, not land, and rural America only has the latter, and fewer and fewer of the former. So sick of this entitled attitude.!

Authoritarians love to pretend that being socially shunned for being an abusive asshole is actual literal violence but the actual literal violence that abusive assholes enact and enable is not violence.

add to that the nonstop banshee scream sesh that will ensue if you so much as mention that christofacists should perhaps be held accountable for their manipulations and you can see why so many have decided to just ignore them.

truthfully i donā€™t think judges or juries should be able to see or hear defendants or read their names. people who believe they have no biases are the absolute worst people to decide who does and doesnā€™t get rights.

used to work with kids who spent some time in court and it was heartbreaking to see the hours and (expensive) work they would do in a gamble to curry even the smallest bit of grace from judges ā€” from buying suits they couldn't afford to studying english to seem less "foreign."

Just read some pundit argue that the Columbia students who are protesting are cosseted babies and also adults who have to face the consequences of their actions, but that the students who object to the protests are our kids and need protection. Couldn't be clearer who's an "us" and who's a "them."

realized recently that i do not know a single evangelical who believes they have a beloved family member in hell for all of eternity. every single one surely said the sinners prayer in their final moments. hell is exclusively for people they donā€™t like.

i think this is one of those issues where refusing/inability to do power analysis ends up creating people who violently fight for a fictional ā€œmiddle groundā€ between trans rights and trans extinguishment.

Iā€™m seeing people talk about the protests at Columbia while suggesting a desire to end the war is ā€œunpopular.ā€ But thatā€™s not actually the case! Just 36% of Americans approve of Israelā€™s actions! These kids are getting arrested and evicted for nonviolent protest while having a very popular opinion!
