Vouchers are bad. ESA’s are bad. Arizona has about a $1 billion hole blasted through their budget for them and whew, if a public school wasted this money there’d be hell to pay:
Dig into Arizona LEGO spending with this data vis! And yes, every item below was purchased with taxpayer $ - and entirely allowed by the program.

@hollyanderson.bsky.social after last night’s absurdity, Dracula PLUS is the most rational concept I’ve heard in a minute. Dracula PLUS can save America’s healthcare system.

Public school administrators- superintendents, principals, directors, are told not to post pictures on vacations or situations where it looks bad ethically in order to avoid the scrutiny of public dollars paying their salaries and how it can be perceived. Guess that doesn’t apply to the FBI

Pate puts on a clown nose when he’s made a bad pick. I know his “fox hole” boys are supporting him, but this isn’t the hill. This is a bad call. Ignoring all the bad and saying it’s “just football” just looks naive and ignorant. Unfollowed, unsubscribed, all of them.

I think kids growing up in the Trump era should be told clearly that they are being raised under a regime that espouses white supremacy as if it is a legitimate politics, the same as any other.

@netw3rk.bsky.social listening to Xray Vision as a precursor to the next Dunk & Egg Chronicles, and Zack from Game of Owns sounds too much like George Clooney that I had to double check to make sure he wasn’t a guest. Great pod!

trump spent $40M ($133k per person) deporting 300 migrants to countries that aren't their homes, sometimes paying twice when they returned them to their actual countries anyway. That same money could've funded comprehensive veteran services, medical care and disability support nationwide. #Resist
In the words of @pablo.show - everything is bum fights.
Been thinking a lot about this reading the discourse around Traitors, LIB, The Pitt, etc…is it overreaching to say that pretty much all online discussion of popular TV/movies is toxic now?
@pablotorrefindsout.bsky.social just made a profound statement that is ringing in my ears… “Everything is bum fights.” And I can’t stop thinking about framing everything in that perspective.

When the Muppets are featured I happily flash back to the incredible jingle of my childhood, where they were selling a double Muppet Movie set: You get the Muppet Movie, and the Great Muppet Caper too And you can get a free watch, YES we said get a free watch… The song jumps in my brain every time

He cannot be clearer. There is no difference to him between bombing random fishermen on boats and shooting Americans protesters in the face
I swear this clip is not edited. Trump pivots from downplaying the killing of Renee Good and Alex Pretti ("two people out of tens of thousands and you get bad publicity") to in the very next breath claiming "we've been very tough on the waters," leaving Tom Llamas baffled ("the waters?")
