My favorite thing about Ann Coulter, besides "nothing", is that she knows full well she's unlovable and is gonna die alone. Also, fun fact, she and Laura Dern were both created by a secret government experiment to combine human and praying mantis DNA. Laura Dern is obviously the successful version.

There are now no more public schools in New Orleans. Katrina allowed charters to come in and take over a bunch of schools, and now as of this week the last public school is being taken over by a charter. This is just the beginning, as if this is allowed to stand you better believe that other cities will do the same. I know here in FL there is a constant push to give charters as much control as possible over schools (while of course requiring lower standards for them than their public counterparts). https://twitter.com/JonathanCohn/status/1076508366606946304

Let the other people take care of it now.” jfc

OctaMurk posted:USPS has been very good in most areas I've lived, but where I am currently they are largely useless and repeatedly deliver late, deliver to the wrong address, or mark items as delivered but bring them back to the post office. I would have given them the benefit of the doubt re being understaffed, but marking packages as delivered without delivering them reeks of either dishonesty or incompetence. They used to be good to me, but here packages disappear for weeks on end between Allen Park in Detroit and my local post office. I guess there was a huge scandal here a year or so ago where the Detroit PS was tossing priority mail in their scrap trailer to be sent off to be destroyed

I know here in FL there is a constant push to give charters as much control as possible over schools (while of course requiring lower standards for them than their public counterparts). just to elaborate a little bit because people don't realize how egregious the situation was that allow this: after katrina, the state of Louisiana changed the laws for New Orleans alone, allowing any public school under the state average of standardized test scores to be taken over by the state and turned into a charter. not just failing schools. all below the mean - which turned out to be essentially all of them outside of the wealthiest whitest areas

The only real question at that point is if Trump sits on the bill and deliberately waits to veto it to stall the re-opening of the government for no good reason.
