This is a private school in Arkansas where there is zero accountability for tax dollars being diverted from public schools through the states "education freedom accounts". Read this article to find out why vouchers are a problem.
ProPublica@propublica.org · 3w agoTHREAD: The boy is called a liar. He’s told not to defend himself. Then the private school owner encourages all of his peers to attack him, one by one. She hits him, repeatedly, with a plastic pipe-like object. How does this school still exist — and receive state funds? 🧵
The Los Angeles Police Department let its Flock contract expire after an audit revealed that 161 cars were falsely flagged as stolen in a two month span. Mass surveillance doesn't keep us safe. LAPD must permanently cut ties with this tech and other cities must follow suit.
LAPD was one of Flock Safety's biggest government customers. Now it’s renegotiating its partnership over ‘serious concerns around civil liberties’ | Fortune
The department recently announced it would not renew its contract due to how Flock collects and shares data.

NEW: Dozens of people inside Camp East Montana, ICE’s largest detention center, have come forward documenting widespread abuse, including medical neglect, being forced to live in filth, a lack of food, beatings by guards, and access to lawyers cut off. This facility must be shut down.
How long must we sing this song? Lorenzo Salgado Araujo and Joan Sebastian Guerrero were both murdered by ICE this week. This is domestic terrorism. This must stop! Those agents must be arrested and tried for their crimes! ICE must be abolished! youtu.be/Y3ziTSYyook?...

Results are in! Tenzing is a Great Pyrenees mix, which was my first impression upon meeting him. He's a "Heinz" dog with 15 breeds noted. His markers for health all came up clear. I chose to run his DNA out of curiosity to where his brindle coat expressed from since that is a recessive trait.
The truth is coming out. Just like we said yesterday, ICE is using the same story we’ve seen time and time again. As more facts emerge, that narrative continues to fall apart. Imagine that, ICE lied. Accountability starts with the truth.
Their goal is to create so much chaos and so many crises that it starts to feel like nothing you do makes a difference. Don’t believe it. Every action matters. Keep showing up and remember the resistance will prevail!
Authoritarianism cannot exist with free thought. It must dominate the societal discourse and prevent debate. That means it must also dictate history. The Nazis knew this. And it appears that the Trump administration knows this as well.
Donald Trump’s war on history
Like other autocrats, he wants to control the nation's story and police thought.

Tenzing and I walked along the Art Trail at Crystal Bridges early morning before the heat of the day hit. He was rescued less than a month ago and adopted by me a week ago. He's amazing!

Michelle and I had fun surprising the first group of visitors to the Obama Presidential Center on Juneteenth. Come check it out!
Meet Tenzing Rocky Stockman! I met him last Thursday and fell in love. He is a natural for therapy work and I am looking forward to his training. Pet Partners here we come!
I am ready to find my next therapy dog and here are 2 beautiful dogs with the right temperaments to do this work. I met Nya, the black lab, already and next, will meet Rocky this week. I have a feeling this will be a tough choice!
