The report follows a 2022 investigation by @nmindepth.bsky.social and ProPublica that exposed the school district’s high rates of harsh punishment for Native and Hispanic children. The disparity was evident even in kindergarten and elementary grades.

The New Mexico attorney general’s office urged one school district to “acknowledge the facts” after a report found Indigenous and Hispanic students often receive harsher discipline than their white classmates for similar infractions.

Lindsay Graham and I often disagreed on whether you should overturn Democratic elections, starve the hungry, bomb anyone and bomb everyone dark, but nevertheless I hope his loved ones stay off the internet and the rest of you have some fun.

I didn’t even get to the Traficant part of the story. I, uh, interned for him in high school, which is another story.

It gets better. His company’s name: Greenwater Services. Did he once pay a bribe to Jim Traficant: yes, of course

Really well written story on the IPO shell game.

Did you buy any SpaceX stock? If not, don’t feel left out – you’ve got historical data on your side. The modern IPO increasingly represents a chance for insiders and executives to cash out – not the start of value creation for public investors.

Beutler is, of course, correct. Trump and the GOP are doing exactly what it looks like their doing - preparing to use any authoritarian means available to void democratic institutions. The scheme is a product of Trump's political weakness. But preparing to counter it is simply essential.

Brian Beutler@brianbeutler.bsky.social

Trump is putting no effort into becoming less unpopular but a TON into putting elements of a coup in place. Some of them may remain invisible, but the ones we can see point to his general approach: violent intimidation + corrupt judges + executive branch and congressional coconspirators + bribes.

just open contempt for the united states as a pluralist and secular democracy. and a reminder that the function of the fiction that the united states was founded as a fundamentalist christian nation is to establish a hierarchy of human worth with white christians at the top

Joe Ceballos, the former Republican mayor of Coldwater, Kansas, voted for Trump, believed the “only violent criminals” line, then ended up in ICE detention himself after pleading guilty to voting as a noncitizen. And get this shit: He says he does not regret voting for Trump. 1/2

Assholes were wearing tricorner hats with tea bags stapled to them within weeks of Obama’s inauguration. Totally not-racist normies who only use the n-word when they’re drunk! Murica!

Donald Trump entered mainstream politics on the basis of challenging the patriotism and birthright of the first Black person to be elected POTUS, and somehow white culture insisted that racism was not the reason people voted for him.

this is a good example of what I’m talking about when I say that people like stoller are completely irrelevant on the platforms that actually reach people. he thinks that if you’re not on X, you’re not anywhere. meanwhile, half of americans get their news and politics from youtube and tiktok

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

The Roberts Court, the Trump White House, and the national GOP are acting like this is their one big shot. Either they secure the lasting end of US Constitutional democracy, or they’re in very serious trouble from the backlash. And they’ve already gone so far that there’s no other possibility.

The one thing Betty Broderick never did was perform remorse in the precise way the US criminal justice system demands. She died in prison, where she had been since the day she murdered her ex and his wife, last week.
