Tom Gambrel, the superintendent of Bell County, Kentucky, schools, joined most of his neighbors and cast his vote for Trump with his students in mind, but he told CNN that he hopes the president-elect doesn't carry through with his plan to cut federal education funding.
“I don’t think that anyone in our county wants to cut our school funding," Gambrel said, "and I don’t think that anyone voted for that."
Gambrel said the proposed cuts would be “catastrophic," forcing teacher layoffs, packing more students into classrooms and getting less attention for vulnerable students.
A CNN analysis found that all 15 of the states that rely most heavily on federal support for public schools in 2022 backed Trump in November, while all but two of the 15 that receive the fewest federal dollars as a percentage of their overall revenue supported Kamala Harris.
“This is one of these cases where (Republican) policies are stabbing their base right in the heart and will directly impact their kids,” said Will Ragland, vice president of the Center for American Progress.
yeah, a blue checkmark is whatever, but what message does that send?
"Criticize me and I'll punish you and there's nothing you can do about it"
It's way scarier that this is happening publicly because it means Elon doesn't give a shit about being seen as abusing his power or being petty, or unprofessional or any of that. If you step out of line, he'll punish you
Leaking DMs is also wild. What if Elon can read all of Asmon's DMs? He OWNS Twitter. There's 100% a backdoor for government requests to access anyone's DMs. He has the power to leak ANY of your DMs anonymously.
How in the fuck is that not FUCKING SCARY and LITERALLY censorship through intimidation?
The researchers who discovered the identity of Adrian Dittmann, the user many believed was Elon Musk, are being asked to delete more posts.
