  • I’d want a supplemental study on the reading level of ESL folk in their first language. Furthermore the gauge of literacy isn’t simply knowing how to pronounce words or the alphabet or whatever, it’s a measure of broader skills like the ability to retain and parse information. Reading a graph is also part of general literacy. Someone who could read every word of the first page of a book out loud, but then they’re unable to summarize it, or unable to answer questions or make a response would be someone functionally illiterate.

    Someone who’s ESL and has a hard time parsing English, but still able to retain information they read in English, is far more literate than a native English speaking American who reads like a 10 year old child.






  • He hasn’t stopped being one of Israel’s staunchest supporters. Cory Booker voted to approve Trump’s nomination for CIA head, John Ratcliffe, a former US house representative. Ratcliffe has also been one of Israel’s staunchest allies, such as supporting Israeli strikes on Iranian territory. Booker also voted to confirm Marco Rubio, Trump’s appointee to Secretary of State. Why can’t you see this? Booker is a snake and can’t be trusted if this is how he conducts himself.

    Booker is a clown, that’s what this has to do with what he’s doing right now. He isn’t sincere and any supposed problems he has with “demagoguery” pales in comparison to Booker’s own ghoulish support of continued genocide. You’re asking us to respond positively to a proponent of genocide yelling at another proponent of genocide. Ok, Booker is telling people to resist Trump. By doing what exactly? Voting? Throwing molotovs?

    Oh I know something you can do to protest Trump and it’s even peaceful. You can support the BDS movement, where you boycott Israeli goods. That would make sense given the Trump administration’s unwavering support of Israel.

    Oh except Booker has repeatedly attempted to criminalize BDS, he’s in full support of defining anti-Zionism as antisemitism, and I can’t even find any evidence Booker has mentioned Mahmoud Khalil, the Columbia student who was thrown into federal detention for the supposed crime of being pro-Palestine.



  • This guy is a fucking Zionist clown and a stooge for venture capital. I’m old enough to remember when Obama would take shots at Romney in the 2012 election for Romney’s founder status at Bain Capital. Booker, perhaps simply for love of the game, defended Bain Capital for seemingly no reason other than to get pats on the shoulders from Republicans

    And what is this doofus doing now? Wagging his finger at Trump for theatrical reasons. This keeps getting called a filibuster but there’s not specific legislation Booker is trying to kill. There’s no bill he’s trying to stop.

    All this fire and gusto to stand around while he eagerly votes for bills to send yet another billion dollars to the Zionist Entity. Fuck this guy. I hope he enjoys hell.
