Cynical Publius @CynicalPublius - Fire this quisling.
As an aside, never read too much into high school student "walkouts."
Most high school students would agree to protest the Easter Bunny if it meant they could skip class.

INBOX: Steve Smith, the principal of Jefferson Middle School (OKCPS), confirms in an email that there will be a planned anti-ICE student walkout occurring at his school on Friday, and that school staff will be offering GUIDANCE and DIRECTING the student protestors.
Your tax dollars are being spent on encouraging children to be far-left political activists who oppose law enforcement.

DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican - Hello Senator Curtis (@SenJohnCurtis),
Many people on social media know me as DataRepublican. They do not know my origin.
That story is inseparable from @realJeremyCarl.
For five years, my account existed in obscurity. I posted maps, vote models, turnout analyses. Jeremy was there from the beginning. Not because I was influential. I was not. He followed because he understood the math.
In 2020, when conventional wisdom insisted Florida would decide the election for President Biden, I built a real-time early vote model showing something different. The data was clear to anyone willing to engage it seriously. Many dismissed it. Jeremy did not. He grasped it immediately.
In 2024, he found me again as I returned to early vote analysis, this time mapping Pennsylvania down to the city-block level. He reached out to me because he was intensely interested in who would do such a thing. When I told him who I was, a Deaf Aspie woman who had burned out in Big Tech and found solace in data modeling for its own sake, he did not react with sentimentality. He reacted with curiosity and care.
He asked questions. He wanted to understand what Deafness meant beyond a label. He wanted to understand Asperger's beyond stereotypes. He wanted to understand what it was like to navigate Big Tech as a woman, and what burnout actually feels like. He did not reduce me to categories. He listened.
