ELI5 What is the bennefit of the Dept of Education shutting down and the power resting with the states? What is the downside?
  • Propublica investigation of Alaska ignoring school funding requests for over 20 years

    Unfortunately we can see what is to come with state funding education departments separately. Propublica found Alaska's state gov. ignoring hundreds of requests spanning more than 25 years for primarily rural schools (aka typically poor or Native American/a minority). It bad enough the school buildings are condemned...

  • Disney Shareholders Overwhelmingly Reject Proposal to Sever Ties With LGBTQ Rights Group at Annual Meeting
  • Fair and the facts/I agree, this appears to be non-news made into news because the key words and fear (while justified) about the current decline in the US; alternate headline should be: 'Frivolous, Expense-inducing proposal rejected by Shareholders', aka not news.

  • Green card holders warned against leaving the United States
  • This is very pertinent warning for those still unaware.

    My friend was warned not to leave with a green card by his immigration lawyer last time the felon was potus. We've already seen how different things are this time, I wouldn't even jay walk or speed if your immigration status is anything other than a citizen* (asterisks because already depending on your zip your mileage may already vary due to factors such as your race, health, age or gender).

    I would argue that domestic flights are potentially to be avoided too, I wouldn't put it past ICE to post up at major airports or flagging all residents/non-citizens identification. If anyone is unaware, they've already detained and tortured to the point of hospitalization a white (I hate I have to put this), gay permanent US resident from the EU (Germany. He literally recently renewed his green card, so any excuse about a 10+ year old marijuana related misdemeanor is bullshit at best. Sources about the German guy: NBC article Newsweek article

    I would also point anyone still reading that hasn't seen it already to this post/article: Lemmy World post/link It lists 7 verified cases of Visa and Greencard holders being detained and/or deported.

    Or this Independent article about a green card holder who was deported without her meds or identification over a marijuana charge.

  • Disney Shareholders Overwhelmingly Reject Proposal to Sever Ties With LGBTQ Rights Group at Annual Meeting
  • Hardly surprising considering it was submitted by a "right-wing think tank National Center for Public Policy Research" aka American legal troll farm. They tried using Disney's perfect Corporate Equality Index (CEI) score as a reason keeping ties with the Human Rights Campaign Foundation.

    It noted that since 2007, Disney has received a “perfect score” on the CEI, “which can only be attained by abiding by its partisan, divisive and increasingly radical criteria.

    Sooo by continuing to have an equitable environment that anyone can thrive in means its radical and divisive and therfore bad for business? What the actual fuck. The cognitive dissonance is so unreal with some of these people that I honestly think Kingdom Come 2's ai have more sentience than them.

    Make EDUCATION great again :(
