I don’t know, asshole, was 1947 worth it? Was close to 80 years of settler colonialism and apartheid worth it? Is the current genocide of the Palestinian people being committed by israel worth it? https://ravenation.club/@welkin7/114652095075122736

Trump posted on Truth Social.
“I was always surprised that Biden didn’t do it!”

Unter den von der israelischen Armee festgenommenen Aktivist:innen befindet sich auch die deutsche Staatsbürgerin Yasemin Acar. Wir müssen jetzt Druck aufbauen um für ihre Freilassung zu kämpfen!

This was foreseeable. Want to go on vacation on the state's dime? Pull your kids out of school and get vouchers.
Reminds me of the time I saw my sister-in-law tell her first grader to read a book for a treat. That was her idea of teaching her kid how to read. Both she and my brother benefited from special education throughout their schooling. The state was fine with them homeschooling. I believe they were eventually convinced by her parents to send the kids back to school. My pare…
