āMelania Trumpās parents are legal permanent residents, raising questions about whether they relied on āchain migrationāā
āImmigration experts said Viktor and Amalija Knavs very likely relied on a family reunification process that President Trump has derided as āchain migrationā and proposed ending in such cases.ā
Itās effective, sure ā but I wouldnāt call intentionally injecting a toxin into your face that happens to deaden nerve connections to be healthy.
Interesting article about the history of the NRA and how ā much like the Republican party ā itās been twisted and reshaped over the years into becoming something truly awful.

At a guess, a blank og:description. Other than that, itās pretty horrible HTML.
Something definitely changed in young people this year when it came to recognizing propaganda
Dina Leygerman, writing on Medium:
Every year, before I teach 1984 to my seniors, I run a simulation. Under the guise of āthe common good,ā I turn my classroom into a totalitarian regime; I become a dictator. I tell my seniors that in order to battle āSenioritis,ā the teachers and admin have adapted an evidence-based strategy, a strategy that has ābeen implemented in many schools throughout the country and has had immense success.ā I hang posters with motivational quotes and falsified statistics, and provide a false narrative for the problem that is āSenioritis.ā I tell the students that in order to help them succeed, I must implement strict classroom rules.
This year, they were having none of this shit:
Iāve done this experiment numerous times, albeit not consecutively, and every year I have similar results. This year, however, the results were different. This year, a handful of students did fall in line as always. The majority of students, however, rebelled. By day two of the simulation, the students were contacting members of administration, writing letters, and creating protest posters. They were organizing against me and against the admin.
Major Bullshit
āIf you had a teacher who is adept at firearms you very well could end it very quickly.ā ā Trump on preventing future school shootings
That approach is all about selling more guns not saving lives. Itās more bullshit.
Escalation and making policy on their own it seems.
School kids with grievances and guns: āIām going to need a bigger gunā
Edit: After watching Sheriff Israel tonight on the CNN Town Hall I am convinced he has the right things in mind. His goal is to make these kids and their teachers feel safe.
And what happens when a teacher snaps? Behind them, have a vice-principal with an assault shotgun?
Besides, the school had an armed guard. Just how saturated with guns do schools have to be?
Yes and what is the difference between a student with a gun and some grievances and a teacher with a gun and some grievances?
If youāve been to places like Ecuador or Nicaragua youāve seen the guard towers placed outside of stores, malls and restaurantsā¦
More likely than not youāre going to have accidental shootings done by teachers.
Being āadept at firearmsā is completely orthogonal to being able to kill somebody.
Iām actually a pretty good shot (thanks to years of video game practice no doubt) but shooting at paper targets is a far different thing than shooting at a real person.
Or a teacher leaves a loaded gun in a drawer and goes to the washroom/staffroom āfor a momentā.
