Tracy Castro-Gill told lawmakers that her identifying “markers” — disabled, queer, ‘Chicanx’ (which sounds like “Chicanese”) recently were made “illegal” in the federal government, but her “very presence and humanity” stand in “opposition to that legislation.”...
“Teachers historically have held the gap between humanity and fascism,” they (Castro-Gill uses “they/them” pronouns) said, and then teachers become the “primary targets” of that fascism.
What’s more, Castro-Gill noted the lawmakers had “heard from students” that educators “are often the people who foster student identity and development,” and because of this fact are being “targeted” and removed from positions.
Notice what was said as sort of cast-away conventional wisdom: that teachers are often “the people who foster student identity.” Maybe that’s the problem …??...

Booyens says that the Super Bowl is evidence that America is done pandering to a small, vocal minority.
“America didn't really stray,” he says. “What happened was there was a very small amount of people that were very, very well funded aligned with the mainstream media that tried to convince us that … we've moved past patriotism” and that now “we're progressive.”
Those days, it appears, are over. The Super Bowl is just one of many examples.

"These funds have been misappropriated going back to the Biden administration and New York City – a sanctuary city – has been wasting billions of dollars of taxpayer money to provide free housing, clothing, food, education and healthcare to illegal immigrants, including criminal aliens that are here illegally," charged, Rep. Mike Lawler, R-N.Y.
"That money is meant for American disaster relief and instead is being spent on high-end hotels for illegals," Musk, who heads Trump's Department of Government Efficiency, said. "A clawback demand will be made today to recoup those funds."
A 71-year-old woman has died after her oxygen supply was cut off when the United States announced a freeze on aid funding.
Pe Kha Lau, a refugee from Myanmar living in a displacement camp in neighbouring Thailand, died four days after she was discharged from a USAID-funded healthcare facility operated by the International Rescue Committee (IRC).
She is thought to be one of the first people to have died as a direct result of Washington’s decision to freeze all funding for aid projects for 90 days... The organisation operates clinics that cater to roughly 80,000 people in nine refugee camps close to the Myanmar border, but abruptly closed and locked seven out of its nine hospitals to comply with the uncompromising US directive.
The agency may be subject to an exemption as it offers lifesaving assistance, but it is not yet clear when a waiver could be issued...

It turns out Parker's interview with Beck got under the right people's skin.

Li, who detailed her personal observations of Biden's accelerated cognitive decline and apparent inability "to formulate thoughts," told Ryan that the former Democratic president was neither running the show nor accessible over the past four years.
"You had dozens of top donors, dozens of top supporters who are writing into the Oval Office saying, 'What the f*** is happening? Why are we being completely ignored?' People who are still angry to this day that they were ignored by the Biden White House because the president wasn't there," said Li.
It’s true that we have no formal EV mandate, but 22 states have zero-emissions vehicle laws or executive orders prohibiting sales of gasoline cars by a future date, typically 2035.
On March 20 of last year, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued updated emissions standards that would force auto manufacturers to sell an increasing number of EVs, rising from about 8% last year to about 56% of new light vehicle purchases by 2032.
The Trump orders also call for termination of state emissions waivers “that function to limit sales of gasoline powered automobiles.”
