New pinned tweet! These 11 people in the @CLEMetroSchools do not teach, transport, feed, or protect a single Cleveland student in our very poor school district. But their base salaries combined, cost taxpayers over $2million dollars per year.

The neighbors have an outdoor cat. They let it roam freely. But now they are trying to keep him only inside their yard. He keeps jumping the fence and getting out. This is better than most tv.

This is your daily reminder that Antizionists are Nazi psychopaths. 👇🏽

London Trans Pride just listed “Zionism” alongside racism, ableism, and misogyny. Not supporters of Russia, China, or the Islamic Republic of Iran— just those who believe the Jewish people deserve a homeland. Imagine telling Jews, many of us queer, many descendants of genocide…

CMSD doesn't have enough teachers. CMSD does not have enough subs. CMSD has classrooms without adult supersion and certainly no education happening in every school, several times a year. And yet, the Cleveland Teacher's Union pays extra stipend $ to their exec board teachers to…

On this day in 2012, the Cuban regime killed opposition leader Oswaldo Payá. Today, we must remember his legacy and stand for a Cuba free from communism.

Late to the game, but @CLEMayorsOffice gave directors $15-20k salary increases. Since @JustinMBibb has been mayor the average employee increase is probably less than $4-5k. He doesn’t care about the little guys and he never has.

If you were a Cleveland property tax payer and you found out that CMSD had given a half million dollar contract to a person who had 4 businesses registered to their home, ranging from education, to home healthcare, to realty, and also had a nonprofit revocation from their sec of…

We met her at the US Chess Supernationals and got our copy of her book signed.

I guess CMSD didn't bother trying to get this grant money because it just helps kids read, not pad an administrator's paycheck. DeWine directs $46 million federal grant toward phonics-based reading in Ohio cleveland.com/news/2025/07/d…

Woke up to find Nerf casings in the street...

The weekened was not long enough.

This is your reminder that there are no freelancing or loose canon clans in #Syria attacking the Druze. Every bullet shot at the Druze is planned, funded, logistically supported by three of Jolani's henchemen. Check them out 👇🧵

The land bank nabs another property.

Seems like we don't hear much about the Olibia Wilde/Jason Sudekis cbild custody issue now that neither have current productions . Did they resolve their issues?

Outstanding Mn high school "math-letes" are offering a FREE on-line math camp in mid-August for middle & high school students - details here- pic from the free competition they created at the end of their 2024 camp hometownsource.com/sun_thisweek/o…

Buy @cjscalia’s book, if not for your edification or entertainment, then because I have a Starbucks habit that’s not free and I’d rather not beg on the streets of McLean or busk in Union station.

BIG NEWS FROM THE 2025 TEACHER FREEDOM SUMMIT: Teacher Freedom Alliance just announced it will now offer free liability coverage to members who apply and are accepted. This is a major win for teachers who want protection without union strings attached. More details coming soon,…
