In Gaza, daylight was fast approaching. Diaa Alsayed was still in touch with his surviving family in Jabalia. Some of the stranded relatives had been bleeding for hours. Around 7:30 a.m., a local doctor finally managed to get into their house and take the injured children away. The doctor said he would return to help the surviving adults get out.

About 15 minutes later, Diaa got devastating news. The doctor and most of the children had been killed. And the house had been attacked again. Only one of his brothers and his nephew had survived.

Silly me for thinking IDF would pass up the chance to take out a doctor and a bunch of kids. Fucking monsters.

Since then, other research into post-pandemic academic performance has found widening gaps across race and income, even as many middle and higher income students are doing well.

Private school vouchers and destroying the Department of Education, and a healthy dose of white nationalist politics will surely address all this

I'm glad armored vehicles are finally back on the table but holy shit guys this was all obviously needed months ago. And we had the capability to be training more troops this whole time? How long do we expect that to last under Trump?

$1-$2 month maybe: they want $7 which is close enough to a Hulu/Netflix subscription fee that you immediately realize it's not tenable to subscribe to all the major news sites you read, so then you start needing to build a "top 5" in your head because that's all you can reasonably budget and that's either too much of a PITA for whatever article you're trying to read or you realize Verge isn't in that top 5 and move on

“We cannot impeach the president tomorrow and hand over the regime to Lee Jae-Myung’s Democratic party. It is not for the sake of protecting President Yoon Suk Yeol, but for the sake of the Republic of Korea’s system and our children’s future. I cannot participate in the impeachment of the president tomorrow,” Yoon told reporters.

Don't get too comfortable, fascist idiots like this still seem more than willing to put party politics over country.

"children's future"... Your fucking president just tried to become Kim Jong Un. So fucking sick of the insane people we tolerate as political leaders.

It's really not that hard to run an insurance company without making people want to murder you

Apparently the new hotness is to just declare martial law when things don't go your way

Wouldn't be surprised if the incoming administration saw this and added "bring back leaded gasoline" to their anti-woke agenda so they can more easily manipulate future generations.
