In theory, "advanced placement" course in high schools are meant to give students a head start on college-level work, but in practice these courses serve as *replacements* for that college-level work, and very poor ones at that.

www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202... Kind of interesting essay with a bad title, but IDK how you talk about problems in historical education today without even saying the words "advanced placement."

MN dems need to use the word “fringe” again and again in the media to define the litter-box obsessed, moment-of-silence-for-Chauvin repubs

Yes to this from the heartland they supposedly all care about

“I strongly support keeping farmers afloat with cash when times get rough. What I abhor is instigating trade and geo-political policies that make it necessary to do so in the first place. Farmers need reliable markets, not bailouts.” — John Tsitrian www.sdstandardnow.com/home/spring-...

As a Minnesotan, this cult member disgusts me ick

Emmer: "Donald Trump is the leader of our party. He is the number one patriot."

So much winning

Two military planes collided in midair on Sunday during an air show at the Mountain Home Air Face Base in Idaho, according to a witness and videos shared on social media. At least four parachutes were deployed before the planes crashed.

It is worth saying that it appears that the brave and principled actions of people of Minneapolis and the killings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good seem to have been a legitimate inflection point in American politics. We should carry that forward with us.

Steady. We have to win the midterms by a landslide—all energy there. Avoid falling for propaganda designed to break apart the Dems. If a candidate is too liberal OR not liberal enough—vote Dem, anyway—for now. Voting rights. Our environment. Women’s rights. We can squabble after we win! Steady.

Rubio: "You've got friends who have been shot in the head because they're out protesting, and it's heartbreaking to him to see these people are abused in this way and have no measures to take against their own government as a result of it. This is a vicious regime."

Call you senators NOW! Vote no on the SAVE ACT, vote NO on HJR 140! CALL NOW! Protect our right to vote and protect our public lands!! #bwca Please share!!!

Why, thou picture of what thou seemest, and idol of idiot-worshippers

I know everyone in the current admin is bargain-basement garbage, but it’s telling he feels safe firing the women

Yes! Most of these moms in Mpls were driving children safely to elementary schools when their parents couldn’t, were stocking grocery stores in their own homes, were organizing undercover routes for drivers to deliver food and supplies—doing the real work, not performative work

The patagonia moms in question are objectively more radical than the self-styled revolutionaries who like to sneer at these protests.

other people can make inroads and find common ground with regretful trump voters, in my personal capacity as a private citizen i am committed to hating those dumb motherfuckers for the rest of my life

Seeing all the “professional” activists go after Stancil is negatively polarizing me into a stance that Minnesota is winning because it’s normal people rising to the occasion and pushing a lot of activist nonsense out of the way by doing it

Pretty sure Emmer has the orange king’s ear, telling him how popular he is throughout the entire state of MN and giving him bad advice about how we’d all riot and provide a reason for calling off voting

The right wing talking point has shifted to blaming “rhetoric” for their murders

my expectation of democratic senators is that they find 1/10th of the bravery of your average 70 year old lutheran lady following ICE around mpls in her subaru crosstrek

Please everyone be safe as possible as you show up today. ICE has been escalating all week and they may be actively looking to kill several people today.

There’s video floating around. You don’t want to watch it. News feed will be updated continuously. No paywall. www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

They are losing the hockey moms. We are going to win.

According to the MPD, the ICE observer that was shot is a 37 year old white woman.

This is murder.

NEW: Second video shows ICE shooting in Minneapolis. A woman, a U.S. citizen, was killed

This new video angle 100% does not support the claims of ICE and Noem. This is murder and the chief of police should arrest the federal officer as such.

NEW: Second video shows ICE shooting in Minneapolis. A woman, a U.S. citizen, was killed

Please share this vide widely. Flood the internet with it. It disproves statements by DHS and Noem.

This is the video.

Well if it looks like a duck and walks like a duck—only the duck is a pedophile child-rapist and the NYT is complicit

Let him have time to see his friends his foes, And merry fools to mock at him resort; Let him have time to mark how slow time goes In time of sorrow, and how swift and short His time of folly and his time of ; And ever let his crime Have time to wail th’ abusing of his time.

I feel like we’ve all forgotten Elon Musk and pimply Big Balls came in, stole all our data, turned it over to the regime??? I guess there’s too much to process

This is totally correct!

My belief is that Kamala would have won last year if they’d let Tim Walz keep calling Vance and Trump “weird.” But the professional Dem consultant class closed off the one attack that actually resonated with voters.

Would be kinda cool if a good thing happened for once idk
