God, I love fourth graders. I love how they are just old enough to start outsmarting their parents. How their interests are so well developed. How they have their own personal style. How their questions are still blunt and honest and they are terrible liars.

I’ve said this multiple times before but I strongly urge people to reconsider characterizing white terrorists as operating out of “fear.” They operate out of a desire to exert power thru violence & they most often attack vulnerable ppl in soft targets

“The extreme left is taking over” WHERE. In Texas, Republicans passed a law allowing rapists to sue their victims for getting an abortion. Can anyone name a “far left” policy that extreme implemented anywhere? We can’t even get our party to import cheaper RXs from Canada. foh
