Mississippi is one of those places that deeply need progressive police reform, not in any 21st century sense, but in like, the 1910s sense of "No, you can't just staff the local police with your inbred drunkard dimwit hick cousins, they also have to be at least semi-literate too"
Mississippi's attorney general says a Senatobia police officer was justified in the June shooting death of a 1-year-old boy while responding to a shoplifting call. The conclusion of the state's investigation follows months of mourning and calls for justice. cnn.it/4z0O5X6

Jefferson was an outlier who just happened to win in multiple landslides and who created a party so popular that America was de facto a one party state for 20 years
Freddie doesn’t want to advocate for any reforms that could weaken the power of teachers unions. If interventions can improve absolute learning then educators can be held accountable for not doing so. @annakhachiyan is right when she calls him “the final boss of the left.”
He is responding to a podcast about an intervention that has been on the wrong side of that financial, political and social capital for generations, one with substantial evidence of its efficacy. He has a hammer: interventions don't typically change relative rank-order of students.
He then sees every bit of advocacy for improving pedagogy, including ones focused on taking that seriously and providing absolute gains at all levels, as a nail to be pounded down by that hammer.
He wants to position himself as the only one willing to tell the truth, but he is incapable of meaningfully responding when people accept the premise and continue to care about absolute learning - which can and does happen, and which can and should be improved.
Waymo spotted on Lawrence Avenue in Uptown. First time I’ve seen one in Chicago (or anywhere for that matter).

I think it might be a bit of a problem that the only thing progressive social sciences know how to do is wave in the vague direction of something called "democracy" as a sort of patent medicine cure for fascism

You listen to these progressive economists and its just like, okay so you really just believe that the shepherd shepherds for the good of the sheep and thats all you have to say about it
I don’t have anything to say on the Geordie Greep situation except that he has a lot of illiterate fans.
I second this. I’ve known Jerome @avrilbradley23 through different social media platforms for years and I always learn new and surprising facts from him. And I’m not the type of person who is easily surprised by historical facts.
