ICE official Mellissa Harper has been tapped to lead the Office of Refugee Resettlement. Her hire has concerned experts and advocates that information about children and their families could be shared for arrests and deportations.

I speak only Engilsh and get this as a question I head back to the listing to see why the hell this is, and I see this :

Why in the United States working in the state of Oklahoma do I have to learn spanish? The town I live in does not have a spanish community. There no reason for this at all. They wonder why we have huge mega crowds in our towns it stuff like this that makes them angry.

Dear Oklahoma Parents and Guardians,

I am writing to share an important update about rules approved by the Oklahoma State Board of Education yesterday. These rules will now proceed to the legislature for final approval. Each rule is designed to enhance transparency, accountability, safety, and patriotism in our public schools. Here is a summary of the proposed rules:

Enhancing Enrollment Transparency (OAC 210:10-1-5)

Each school district will be required to report the total number of students who cannot provide documented proof of U.S. citizenship or legal immigration status at the time of enrollment. This measure is intended to provide greater transparency and will help us better understand and support the needs of our schools and students.

Protecting Students from Abuse (OAC 210:25-3-4)

School districts will now report employees who resign or are not rehired due to suspicions of abuse or neglect of a student. This step strengthens protections for children and ensures accountability and transparency in reporting misconduct.

Promoting Patriotism (OAC 210:35-3-5)

School districts must establish policies ensuring that the American flag and the Pledge of Allegiance are respected and appropriately displayed on all campuses without unnecessary restrictions.

Strengthening Transportation Safety (OAC 210:30-5-8)

Criteria for bus driver certification revocations and suspensions will be expanded to enhance the safety and accountability of school transportation systems, ensuring that drivers meet clear legal and professional standards.

Improving Educator Knowledge of Foundational Principles (OAC 210:20-13-1)

Teachers will be required to pass a written test based on the U.S. Naturalization Test, promoting an understanding of fundamental American principles among educators.

Increasing Student Transfer Transparency (OAC 210:10-1-18)

This rule ensures consistent reporting on student transfers by school districts and the State Department of Education, providing comprehensive data to help parents, guardians, and policymakers understand transfer trends and decisions.

These rules reflect our commitment to improving transparency, accountability, safety, and patriotism in Oklahoma’s public schools. We believe these measures will help build a stronger and more accountable education system for your children.

As these rules move to the legislature for final consideration, I encourage you to stay informed and engaged. For more details, please visit our website here.

Thank you for your continued commitment to your children’s education.

For Oklahoma,

This kind of bullshit pisses me off. Look at how a few of those line up with Trump agenda. Not a shock coming same asshat that tried to put Trump bibles in all our schools.

I remember reading that the US fought a whole ass revolutionary war over this sort of thing. This has been 7 years of fight for these people.

“When police—including the FBI—raid the wrong house, they must be held responsible for the damages,” said IJ Senior Attorney Anya Bidwell. “The 11th Circuit let the government off the hook in this case, and we are hopeful that the Supreme Court will do the right thing and ensure that Americans can feel secure in their own homes.”

One of the most damning videos I've seen about this. Just reply with this when you come across someone trying to defend this PoS. Fuck this sub-human scumbag.

We needed more storage only to find it's a hair too wide even without the optional towel rack.

Cat likes it though.

Poor guy was probably just trying to sleep without freezing to death and then these assholes show up.

Every time Windows updates itself, my Linux disappears. Actually, it's just hidden, only the boot menu was overwritten. You need a computer maintenance technician to make a new boot menu. I use a USB stick with a live Linux with automatic boot repair tools.

Recently, Windows has become resistant to Boot Repair Disk. Now I have to open computer firmware by tapping "Esc" right after power-up, then select "Boot options", then "Linux".

EU must ban all US-made smart products for its own safety. All closed-source software and electronics that can be used for strategic manipulation and sabotage -- Google, Apple, Amazon, all of it.

We have functional, clunky open-source software that could easily be fitted for any purpose with the money we waste propping up foreign monopolies sabotaging us. Europe has taken a huge risk. I suspect bribery.
