From rural Iowa: K-12 educators share their challenges trying to preserve opportunities for Iowa students – and their own livelihoods – after years of Republican underinvestment public education. Read the full story: bit.ly/3UlIjwb

The freshman eastern #Iowa senator is celebrating his efforts to privatize schools and dismantle AEAs.

What’s driving the collapse of public education in Iowa? I’ve been working on this story for nearly a month, peeling back the curtain on a struggling school district in rural Iowa that reflects the education crisis taking place across the state. thesandb.com/47258/article/…

Happening everywhere in Iowa until and unless we roll back vouchers.
Iowa City schools already made the difficult decision to close a beloved elementary. Now, officials must cut *another $2 million* because of Gov. Reynolds’ voucher law. This was never about “school choice” – it’s about undermining public education. thegazette.com/k/iowa-city-sc…

We will begin to collect storm debris starting next week. Collection efforts will be ongoing and take time. Debris should be cut to 6’ in length & placed between the curb & sidewalk parallel to the street. Only tree and vegetation debris will be collected by the City.

I can't believe I even have to say this, but it is not normal that the Supreme Court is taking its sweet time to decide if the president can incite an insurrection to overturn an election and maintain power. This should have been decided already. The answer is no!
Must read. About much more than one set of remarks. It’s the answer to my perennial question: What do they fear? “The lawmakers who…support these various types of legislation scoff and feign offense when people call them out…but we see through it.”

The storm damage in Pleasant Hill is extensive and severe. I’ve been in touch with Mayor Kurovski this morning and the most important thing people can do today is to please stay away from Pleasant Hill and let emergency crews do their work.

It's all such BS. Biden never promised anyone that there wouldn't be any college protests during his Presidency. He's not a dictator. He tried to get things back to normal by not being a f*cking maniac every day, getting people vaccines, and lessening financial hardship. He's…
Axios: "For President Biden, the barricades and broken glass on college campuses are a brutal reminder that America has not snapped back to the normalcy he promised in his 2020 campaign." axios.com/2024/04/30/isr…
@inGerri Time for the President of the college to call the Chief of Police. I hope you are keeping a detailed and dated diary of events.
@MeganTStevenson @inGerri So illegal. The officer has no business wearing a badge and should be fired.
You could start with the fact that this wasn’t a decision made by Pres Biden. This was a decision made by Columbia and local law enforcement. Details matter.
I was gonna vote for Biden in November -- for labor and also obviously to keep Trump out of office -- but after tonight... Man, I don't know.
I have been thinking about this quote all day. How could Red States "monitor" pregnancies? A 🧵
Woah. Trump tells @TIME he would “let red states monitor women’s pregnancies and prosecute those who violate abortion bans.” This is the future we’re looking at if he’s elected in November. time.com/6972021/donald…
The parallel to '68 should scare Dems to death. Protests dogged every Humphrey event. '68 turned after Humphrey gave a speech that suggested he was for peace. He then made up more ground faster than any candidate in political history but the damage was too much to overcome.
For anyone interested in historical context of protests and politics pages 230 to 260 of The Making of the President 1968 are a must read. Modern American politics is defined by 2 elections: 1968 and 1980. Note the 3 stages of protests in '68 and their similarity to today.
I don’t know if anyone heard trumps interview, but if you didn’t, let me tell you, it was terrifying. If this whacko somehow gets back in power,his bloodbath threat could well be a reality. Bannon, on his podcast ( why isn’t he in prison ) had a person ( sorry, I don’t know his…

Just a reminder — again — that these campus protests are *not* organic. To be clear, some of them are there for the right reasons, but there’s a lot of foreign influence driving this. Someone should really look into how much the GOP is funding these groups, too.
@WatchDogUMN @UMNews @SJP_UMN I filed a complaint about this extreme antisemitism with the Department of Education against @umncla in December. The @umncla dean thinks she can silence me by attacking my spouse. Wrong. We’re not backing down.
A student at Columbia University just demanded "basic humanitarian aid". Let me tell you a story. After the unrest in Egypt on January 25th, shops closed and a curfew was imposed. After a couple of weeks,a reality kicked in. We had to pay more than 10 times for basic supplies…
Reporter grills Columbia student after she demands the university help feed protestors occupying Hamilton Hall: "It seems like you're saying, 'we want to be revolutionaries, we want to take over this building, now would you please bring us some food'."
Chef Jose Andres: “Our convoys have been held up at IDF checkpoints for hours on end, despite coordination with the Israeli government groups who run point on humanitarian aid. Those delays create crowds desperate to receive food, add to the food panic and push our missions into…
A handful of elite schools — Brown, Wesleyan, Johns Hopkins — seem to have handled the Palestine protests gracefully. Their successful approach: don't send cops after students, talk seriously with the protestors, and enforce *preexisting* codes about speech and harassment.
Change of guard on India-Pakistan border.
If any kid is hurt tonight, responsibility will fall on the mayor and univ presidents. Other leaders and schools have found a safe, de-escalatory path. This is the opposite of leadership and endangers public safety. A nightmare in the making. I urge the Mayor to reverse course.
NEW - @NYCMayor says Columbia protest has been "co-opted" and is going to share their intel, he says at 1 Police Plaza. He advises students involved in the protest to leave the area and tells parents to tell their kids to leave "before the situation escalates."
For almost seven months now, some of us have been writing here almost every day, trying to turn heartbreak into words. We may sound rational or angry or thoughtful or frustrated. But all of this is covered by a blanket of overwhelming sadness. May it end soon, for everyone.
