In it, Kawas - who holds a Master's in Islamic Liberation Theology from a university in South Africa, connects the attacks on 9/11 to the 'American system'. 'The system of capitalism and racism and white supremacy and Islamophobia have all been used to colonize lands, to take resources from other people, so this is a long trajectory and we're just seeing the manifestations of that continuation with 9/11,' she said.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order in March seeking to close the department, but only Congress has the power to do that. The Education Department plans to announce Tuesday that it will move multiple parts of the agency to other federal departments, an unprecedented and unilateral effort to dismantle an agency created by Congress to ensure all Americans have equal access to educational opportunity and better coordinate federal programs. The move was described by three people informed of the plan ahead of the announcement. Two of these people said six offices within the department would be shifted elsewhere; the...

This is why class sizes are too big, resources are stretched thin, and translators are needed. While the official attendance data still needs to be finalized and approved by the state, CMS officials told Queen City News that approximately 20,935 students missed school on Monday. This makes up around 15 percent of the students enrolled in the school district, which is the 16th largest in the country.

Conservatives on social media have erupted with fury over a 15-second video showing a Michigan official dodging a question about how many genders exist. The MAGA world has unleashed a flood of criticism against Superintendent Sue Carnell over her response to the interrogation by Republican state Rep Jay DeBoyer. 'How many genders are there?' DeBoyer asked Carnell during an October 28 hearing. Carnell smiled and did not answer, prompting the lawmaker to repeat his question. 'Different people have different beliefs on that,' Carnell eventually replied. DeBoyer hit back. 'Well, you can believe all you want, but science says there's two,'...

In the aftermath of U.S. President Donald Trump's executive order to begin closing the Department of Education on March 20, 2025, the claim that the U.S. had dropped from first to 24th in education worldwide since 1979 — when then-President Jimmy Carter founded the Department of Education — made its rounds on the internet.One X post (archived) featured an image of Carter with the caption: "In 1979 I created the Department of Education. Since then America went from 1st to 24th in education."(X account @AlphaLiger)In November 2024, tech billionaire Elon Musk posted the same image (archived), and wrote: "Not exactly...

Gabby Giffords’ gun control group, Giffords, is breaking out the adjectives against national reciprocity, describing it as a “dangerous bill” which “extremists” are pushing in order to carry “hidden guns.”They posted to X: “Extremists in Congress are pushing for a concealed carry mandate, which would allow people to carry hidden guns nationwide—regardless of state laws. Now that the government has reopened, they can vote on this dangerous bill any day. They must vote NO.”Giffords is wringing hands over the prospect of national reciprocity for concealed carry. The reciprocity is contained in Rep. Richard Hudson’s (R) H.R. 38, titled “Constitutional Concealed...

As long as white people are obliterated, globalists are happy. In ten years, the white population percentage in London went from 86% to 36%. Now, take a look at New York City. In 1970, the white population was 60.72%. It went to 56.01% in 1980 after the 1965 Immigration Law. Today, it is 30.9%.

Despite the blow, it has now been reported that Disney has its eye set on remaking another old cartoon: Sleeping Beauty. He also claimed that it will be set in Mexico instead of France, where the original took place. Sleeping Beauty followed princess Aurora, who had been cursed by an evil fairy named Maleficent, forcing her to fall into a deep sleep that can only be broken by true love's kiss.

A new UNESCO report, prepared under the supervision of a literal North Korean totalitarian, explains that homeschooling, if not done by the UN’s standards, can violate a student’s “human rights.” Therefore, all forms of education must be viewed through a “rights-based” lens.This invasion of parental rights and educational...

Mysterious interstellar object 3I/ATLAS has reemerged from behind the Sun, allowing astronomers to once again get a glimpse at the rare visitor...and is expected to make its closest pass of the Earth just days before Christmas on its way back out of our star system.... .. judging by the latest data, ...Loeb suggests that if 3I/ATLAS really is a visitor from a technological civilization — a possibility he’s floated repeatedly — then it may be trying to boost its exit from the solar system to a breakneck pace. (Let’s face it: getting away from Earth as rapidly as possible makes...

They describe the system, called Circulatronics, as more of a treatment platform than a one-off brain chip. Working with researchers from Wellesley College and Harvard University, the MIT team recently released a paper on the new technology, which they describe as an autonomous bioelectronic implant.As New Atlas points out, the Circulatronics platform starts with an injectable swarm of sub-cellular sized wireless electronic devices, or “SWEDs,” which can travel into inflamed regions of the patient’s brain after being injected into the bloodstream. They do so by fusing with living immune cells, called monocytes, forming a sort of cellular cyborg.After they’ve been...

A woman in her late thirties posts a simple complaint online: “Men can have kids into their seventies. I’ve only got a few years left. That’s so unfair.” Within hours, her mentions are a war zone. Some men sneer about “geriatric eggs.” Others write manifestos about feminism and hypergamy. A few women defend her, but the thread collapses into the same argument we’ve been having for decades. In Britain, a thirty-four-year-old woman recently sued her ex-boyfriend, claiming he had “stolen her childbearing years.” After ten years together, he ended the relationship without fulfilling his promises of marriage and children. Now,...

Cedric Irving Jr., 27, was taken into custody early Friday morning after allegedly shooting the 66-year-old athletic director dead at Laney College in Oakland. Lee added: 'Gun violence has stolen the life of a man who dedicated himself to building up the young people of this city.'

All her life, the fear of judgment and embarrassment has held CNA Digital's Nurjannah Suhaimi back from exploring her interests and potential. Here's how she finally faced her fear, and managed to find the charm in cringe.Years ago, I was a polytechnic student sitting alone catching up on work, when two gorgeous men approached me to ask for directions. While trying to play it cool, my finger got caught behind my spectacles mid-gesture. My glasses flew right off my face, and skidded underneath the table next to me.

No one uses “Malthusian” as a compliment. Since 1798, when the economist and cleric Thomas Malthus first published “An Essay on the Principles of Population,” the “Malthusian” position – the idea that humans are subject to natural limits – has been vilified and scorned. Today, the term is lobbed at anyone who dares question the optimism of infinite progress. Unfortunately, almost everything most people think they know about Malthus is wrong. The story goes like this: Once upon a time, an English country parson came up with the idea that population increases at a “geometrical” rate, while food production increases...

A Colorado professor unleashed a tirade on conservative students, calling them "Nazis" after Fort Lewis College reversed a prior decision and approved a Turning Point USA (TPUSA) chapter on campus. Turning Point chapters have been springing up across the country in the wake of founder Charlie Kirk's Sept. 10 murder. Anthropology professor David Kozak was caught flipping off students during an unhinged meltdown, appearing visibly upset at the Associated Students of Fort Lewis College's (ASFLC) decision to reverse its initial denial of the TPUSA chapter just days earlier, which was triggered by a petition that amassed over 1,000 signatures, according...

University of California, Irvine professor Charis E. Kubrin has been awarded the Stockholm Prize in Criminology -often considered the field’s Nobel Prize equivalent- for decades of research challenging the notion that immigrants bring crime to their new communities, officials announced Thursday. A jury comprised of field experts and fellow professors selected Kubrin and her co-winner, Mark Lipsey of the Peabody Research Institute at Vanderbilt University, for their work. Lipsey was also recognized for his research demonstrating that rehabilitation programs can be effective for convicted offenders and reduce their crime rates. Kubrin, a professor of criminology, law and society at U.C....

The U.S. Department of Education has contracted with far-right organizations Turning Point USA and the Heritage Foundation to develop a “patriotic” curriculum, perpetuating Stephen Miller’s guttural threat that “Children will be taught to love America. Children will be taught to be patriots.” Miller’s words echoed Joseph Goebbels’ commitment to indoctrinate children in 1930s Germany. On Veterans Day, we recall how 1950s American kindergartners learned to love our country. We stood proudly facing the flag with hands over our hearts, pledging “allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic, for which it stands, one Nation...
