Republicans against Trump
Republicans against Trump@RpsAgainstTrump·
Three-time Trump voter: I’m a registered Republican. I voted for Trump...He is not worthy of the presidency. He takes bribes blatantly, and now he's being a racist blatantly…I just want to apologize to everybody in the country for supporting this rotten, rotten man.

@RpsAgainstTrump Always look for specifics in any commentary like this - there is none. This man didn’t change his mind about Trump because of facts - he changed because he bought into the false narratives about Trump. This 100% propaganda

Said this before but I’ll say it again. Just one lifetime ago in the UK, our fathers could buy a home, buy a car, have 3 to 4 children, wives could stay home, take annual vacations, and then retire… all on one middle-class salary. What happened?

We don't lack big studies, but they lack attention. As you see in the conversation around Kelsey's piece: there are economists working in K-12, per @MichaelPetrilli and @ToddTruitt76508. But Boaler's the one with the keynotes at @NCTM. There is an equivalent story for Balanced Literacy leaders and literacy "leadership" organizations. Educational institutions are usually captured by pedagogical tribes, and the sound research seldom breaks through. The EdReform types will broadcast it, but their audience is very small, so they serve as a signal to a tiny subset of the practitioner field. Very little education journalism is dedicated to accountability on this stuff, in part because journalists seem to see writing about products as dirty work. Which is odd... you can't imagine the tech journalists passing on writing about trends in Apple product use and quality... but we seldom get equivalents in education. @alexanderrusso The federal effort to better distill research for educators? Broken. I wrote about it here: karenvaites.org/p/our-curricul… The organized efforts to review products for quality? Also all broken or flawed. See the article above. We are in a fairly bad place in K-12 education. Which is how you get iReady's market share. x.com/MichaelPetrill…

In fields like education where the interventions are so complex, and where there is so much interaction and communication with the participants, It seems much more valuable to me to have qualitative studies and case reports rather than low quality quantitative studies.

“Jo Boaler is a professor of education at the Stanford Graduate School of Education, with an enormously influential body of work …. Her work got Algebra removed from middle schools across the Bay Area. It is some of the most incompetently or dishonestly conducted research I have seen in a decade as a journalist.”

This tweet is a beautiful collection of the lies Trump supporters have swallowed - and now repeat - in order to convince themselves the election was stolen. In reality: Michigan and Wisconsin never stopped counting votes on Election Night. And in Michigan and Pennsylvania, Trump supporters were actually yelling "Stop the count!" because they didn't want mail-in ballots to be counted. There were not "various catastrophic events" in key swing counties. There was a minor water leak in Fulton County, which delayed counting by a couple of hours. Only one polling station, in Detroit, boarded its windows, and there were poll watchers inside when it did so. That graph is the graph of all of the absentee ballots from Milwaukee being incorporated into the Wisconsin count in one big batch, as Wisconsin law requires. There's nothing surprising or sketchy about it.

@BrandonWarmke "It all must be brilliant. If you disagree you just don’t understand." - for a while I thought you were talking about economists.

The greatest challenge for the left wing true believer is to find a single work in lefty gender studies that they’d say was low quality and bad scholarship. It all must be brilliant. If you disagree you just don’t understand. But you must never criticize that which is sacred. And that’s how you know it’s a fake field.

@JamesSurowiecki This is a misrepresentation of events. There were no Republicans in the Detroit polling station. And they did stop the count according to all the networks I was watching. Just pure bullshit on your part.

@GrandmaKathi08 @JamesMartinSJ You really have created your own little conspiracy haven't you with the 'Obama's advisor'. He speaks about peace. You know Chump is a warmonger and you support it. Now you feel seen.

As a Catholic, I'm deeply disappointed that the Pope has chosen to wade into American politics. He rarely speaks with comparable urgency or strength against the horror of abortion or the ongoing massacres of Christians in Nigeria, yet after meeting with an Obama advisor, he suddenly weighs in as an expert on U.S. domestic policy. If the Pope does not want the President or Vice President responding to his public comments on global and political matters, then he should refrain from making them in the first place.

Dear friends: I don’t know any Catholic in the United States, from the most traditional to the most progressive, who does not have strong feelings about the comments from President Trump and Vice President Vance about Pope Leo XIV. These include not only President Trump’s initial disrespectful Truth Social post about the Holy Father, but also Vice President Vance’s similarly disrespectful comments about Pope Leo having to be “careful” when he speaks about theology. Let me share some of my own feelings. First of all, it is shocking that a President and Vice President would treat such a good, holy and learned man with such disdain. Imagine telling a man with the Holy Father’s learning and experience (and authority) that he doesn’t understand theology sufficiently. What’s more, imagine attacking him as, ridiculously, “weak on crime” or somehow not understanding foreign policy. Second, I’m edified by Pope Leo’s charitable and courageous response to all this. Charitable because he has not responded in any way other than with charity and respect. As some of you may know, I know the Holy Father slightly, thanks to our being seated together at the Synod for two weeks, and know him to be a kind, reserved, discerning and highly intelligent person. In a word, holy. But courageous too: as we have seen during his time in Algeria and Cameroon, Pope Leo has not shied away from continuing to preach the Gospel, and speaking out in favor of peace (and yes, he understands St. Augustine’s concept of the “just war”) and against, as he said today, tyrants and those who would use God’s name to support violence of bloodshed. So, where will this all end? It’s hard to say. But I would imagine that now that the taboo has been broken, politicians will continue to denigrate him and thus try to persuade people, without saying it explicitly, to think that the Pope’s words do not need to be listened to. But this will be in vain for two reasons. First, Pope Leo is clearly fearless. A few hours after he was elected as pope, I spoke with a fellow Augustinian priest who had known “Bob” for decades. “He’s a great listener, very kind and much loved.” Then he paused. “But he’s no pushover.” But the main reason that the Pope’s words will be heard is less about Robert Prevost’s own many virtues but something else: the Vicar of Christ will be heard because he is preaching the Gospel. As Jesus told his disciples, “Heaven and earth may pass away, but my words will never pass away.” So, in these strange times, fear not.

Oh, so for 5,000 years it was open… then Trump comes in and, because of his stupidity, the Strait is partially shut down for a month. Then Trump turns around and negotiates the SAME deal we had 10 years ago, and now the Strait is fully open again, and you people THANK HIM? Wow!

Every foreign policy genius who spent a decade collecting paychecks to tell us Iran was untouchable just watched a real estate developer from Queens reopen the waterway that moves a third of the world's oil. The credential class should be embarrassed into silence.

@PeterDennett5 @RogersHistory He is not addressing a child for whom being directed towards the "correct" way to protest might be considered a learning opportunity. Teachers are adults and mustn't deflect from criticism from other adults because their own obscure professional etiquette has not been followed.

He only said it after, We are only there because the threat of a nuclear bomb being held over us. You will not change because you are ignorant to this. It is like telling a blind man what the color Blue looks like and the Blind dude wants to argue with you. So you go ahead and believe what ever you want to believe. I cannot convince someone like you to take the blind fold off so enjoy life and I hope it gives you every thing you deserve.

NEW: Outrage has broken out after Pope Leo appeared to quote Jesus using a passage that does not exist in the Bible. “Jesus told us, ‘Blessed are the peacemakers, but woe to those who manipulate religion in the very name of God for their own military, economic, or political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth.’” The first line echoes scripture. The rest does not appear in any biblical passage. The Pope is being accused of using a fabricated quote from Jesus to push a political message.

@RogersHistory You could try to understand his anger. You could block him. Or you could waste time gathering out-of-context quotes in order to provoke a pile-on. What would Jesus do?

NEW: After President Trump attacked Pope Leo XIV, a bomb threat was sent to the pontiff's older brother at his home in suburban Chicago. John Prevost is a quiet Catholic school administrator. Trump, in his initial post attacking Leo, singled out Leo’s other brother, Louis, as a supporter of the president. nbcchicago.com/news/local/new…
