Look, pro-homeschooling people are piling on this guy but he's not wrong at all. I know of families who are straight-up failing to teach their children beyond a 2nd-grade education. Like 16-year-old kids who don't know what the Capital of the US is, have never heard of Toronto, and could not perform a basic algebra problem. While it's true that there are many excellent homeschooling families whose instruction far exceeds that of any public school, the fact is that the American system of "school your kids however you want" does also yield a lot of severely stunted kids who get stuck playing "catch-up" for the rest of their lives. My wife was homeschooled, we might homeschool, I'm not averse to the practice per se, but it's a fact that there's a whole world of multi-generational homeschoolers who are not and will not rise above a 2nd or 3rd grade education level by their own volition. Should the state intervene in these cases? I dunno, the answer to the question is not as "easy" as many make it out to be. The idea of barely getting through 'Mary Had a Little Lamb' at the age of 16 should be appalling, and it IS happening in some American homeschooler families.

Not that this stuff doesn't contain some elements of truth, but I notice that conservatives have gotten unhealthily obsessed with various efforts to pathologize and psychoanalyze why people disagree with them — all this "luxury beliefs" stuff blah blah. It's loser shit.

Good morning! I’m taking my mother up to Rhode Island for an extended weekend to look at some Gilded Age mansions for Mother’s Day. I’ll see if I can share a few photos of the trip, but my tweets will probably be a bit more sporadic until Monday.

Good morning to everyone in Massachusetts who’s tired of watching our once-thriving economy get driven into the ground by Beacon Hill policies. A sobering new report from the Pioneer Institute released yesterday lays it all out in black and white. Massachusetts has officially collapsed from 2nd best in the nation for new business formation all the way to dead last in the entire country. We now hold the lowest net business formation rate from 2020–2024, suffering a net loss of 17,549 employer businesses over nine straight quarters of decline while the national average is more than 10 times higher. Companies and jobs are fleeing in droves to Florida, Texas, and the Carolinas. This is no surprise. It’s the direct result of sky-high taxes, crushing regulations, endless red tape, and one-party control that has made Massachusetts hostile to job creators and entrepreneurs. Hard-working people are the ones paying the price with fewer opportunities and a state that’s losing ground fast. The warning signs are flashing red. It’s time to stop the bleeding and make Massachusetts competitive again. The trend is unmistakable. November 2026 election is coming and it's time for voters to deliver real change at the ballot box.

What does this look like practically? Take a look at the heavily Republican South. The VRA has artificially inflated Democrat representation by at least 12 seats over the last few decades.

At some point every single libertarian has to make a decision on if their slogan “Don’t tread on me/Leave me alone” is followed by an “or else” or a “please”.

4.9 million registered voters in MA Of that 4.9 million, only 396,408 are registered Republicans, which equals 8% of total voters. Of that 396,408 registered Republicans, around 2,400 attended the convention this weekend, approximately 0.6% of total Republicans. Of that 0.6% of registered Republicans, you are correct, Mike Minogue earned 70 percent of that 0.6%. This is NOT the flex you think it is.
