Were They Grooming Racists?
Several public school teachers in Rochester were put on leave after exchanging text messages that made “racist and demeaning” references to students, officials said Friday.
The Democrat and Chronicle reported the teachers worked at Enrico Fermi School 17, which has a large percentage of Black and Latino students in pre-kindergarten through eighth grade.
“I am horrified at the racist and demeaning references and language used to describe children … our children! The staff members have been put on leave and the District will use all forms of available discipline up to and including termination,” Rochester City School District Superintendent Lesli Myers-Small said in a prepared statement.
Students discovered a series of texts, including one containing an obscenity that wished one girl would beat another up. Another obscene text suggested an automated call that insulted children and their parents, according to the newspaper.
The discovery comes weeks after Rochester school officials said they were investigating allegations that a white teacher told his seventh-grade class of mostly Black students to pick seeds out of cotton and put on handcuffs during lessons on slavery.
The QOP Solution to School Safety
He Wants to Settle Political Disputes with an Assault Rifle.
In his speech last week at the 2022 NRA Convention, North Carolina’s Republican Lt. Governor Mark Robinson threatened to murder government officials with his AR-15.
This is far from the first time Robinson has been caught saying insane things. He has previously claimed that gays and lesbians are “filth” and that abortion is a “sin” — except, of course, for the abortion he obtained for his now-wife in 1989.

I Don't Think This Thief is a Believer
Police say someone busted into the altar at a New York City church, stole a $2 million gold relic and removed the head from a statue of an angel at some point late last week.
The incident happened between 6:30 p.m. Thursday and 4 p.m. Saturday at St. Augustine’s Roman Catholic Church, known as the “Notre Dame” of Brooklyn’s Park Slope neighborhood.
The church was closed for construction at the time. Camera recordings from the church’s security system were also stolen, the church’s pastor said.
The Diocese of Brooklyn called it “a brazen crime of disrespect and hate.”
The diocese said the thief or thieves cut through a metal protective casing and made off with a tabernacle dating to the church’s opening in the 1890s.
The tabernacle, a box containing Holy Communion items, was made of 18-carat gold and decorated with jewels, police and the diocese said. It’s valued at $2 million.
The diocese said it is irreplaceable because of its historical and artistic value.

This Time the Gun Nuts Can Blame Canada...For Setting a Good Example.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the country will dramatically tighten access to firearms after a series of deadly mass shootings in the United States.
The decision isn’t a full ban, Trudeau said, but effectively “caps” the market for handguns in Canada, halting any new sales, imports or transfers of the weapons.
“Other than using firearms for sport shooting and hunting, there is no reason anyone in Canada should need guns in their everyday lives,” he said Monday.
The proposal would take firearm licenses away from those involved in domestic violence or criminal harassment, increase penalties for those who smuggle or traffic guns and instate new “red flag” laws that require people who are considered a danger to themselves or others to surrender their firearms to law enforcement.
The legislation would also require long-gun magazines to be permanently altered so they are unable to hold more than five rounds and ban the sale or transfer of large capacity magazines.
This Was a Tough Kid.
Washington University (not the University of Washington) basketball star Justin Hardy died on Sunday, just months after helping lead his team to the post-season while playing with stage 4 stomach cancer.
“After 13 months of courageously redefining what it means to live with cancer, Justin passed peacefully early this morning,” his father, Bob Hardy, wrote on Twitter.
Hardy’s coach, Pat Juckem, said in a statement: “We have the awesome responsibility to carry forward his legacy of relentless positivity. To respond to even the toughest of circumstances with the strength and courage that Justin did. In his own words: ‘If you want to win, just give me the ball.’”
After surgery for a perforated ulcer, Hardy received a devastating diagnosis in April 2021: He had stomach cancer and it was terminal.
Despite drastic weight loss as he underwent treatment, Hardy returned to the court for the St. Louis, Missouri, school, playing in 21 games while averaging 11.1 points per game. He had the second-highest scoring average on a team that eventually made it to the second round of the Division III NCAA Tournament.
The senior, who graduated early with a double major, was featured on ESPN multiple times.

Invasions Have Consequences
Day 97
Fighting
At least 16,000 city residents have been buried by Russian occupiers in mass graves near the villages of Staryi Krym, Manhush and Vynohradne since mid-April, the Ukrainian mayor of Mariupol said.
Russian troops have pushed further into the key city of Severodonetsk, in the Luhansk region and fought street by street with Kyiv’s forces, driving tens of thousands from their homes, the mayor said. (NOTE: The media frequently call this a "key city". They never say why it is important.)
Russian forces control a third of Severodonetsk, a Russian separatist leader said.
Russian forces reportedly control the northeast and southeast outskirts of the city of Severodonetsk and are continuing to gain ground within the city, the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) said.
French journalist Frederic Leclerc-Imhoff was killed during a Russian bombardment that struck a vehicle evacuating civilians from eastern Ukraine, bringing the total number of media workers killed so far in Ukraine since Russia’s invasion to 32, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said.
France has announced the opening of a war crimes probe into the killing of Leclerc-Imhoff and the wounding of his colleague Maxime Brandstaetter, French media outlets reported.
Relatives of Ukrainian fighters from the besieged Azovstal steelworks in Mariupol said that they had received no news of the whereabouts of their loved ones since they were evacuated to Russian-controlled areas of Ukraine.
Belarus will conduct military mobilisation exercises in June and July in the Gomel region, which borders Ukraine to the south and Russia to the east, state news agency BelTA reported.
A ship left the port of Mariupol for the first time since Russia took the city and is headed east to Russia, Interfax reported, citing the Russian-backed separatist leader of Donetsk.
Diplomacy
European Union countries have agreed to ban 90 percent of Russian oil imports by the end of the year, “cutting a huge source of financing for its war machine”, Charles Michel, president of the European Council announced.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken held discussions with Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud, including on international support for Ukraine, according to a statement from the state department.
EU members backed a package of loans worth 9 billion euros ($9.7bn), with a small component of grants to cover part of the interest, for Ukraine to keep its government going and pay wages for about two months.
Russia’s foreign minister Sergey Lavrov denied rumours that President Vladimir Putin is ill, Russia’s TASS news agency reported.
The United States will not send Ukraine rocket systems that can reach Russia, President Joe Biden said on Monday.
Germany’s government and conservative opposition agreed on a deal that will release 100 billion euros ($107bn) to modernise the country’s army in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Basketball star Breanna Stewart called on Washington to bring home her fellow Women’s NBA player Brittney Griner who has been detained in Russia since February.
Lithuanians crowdfunded $5.4m to buy an advanced military drone in a show of solidarity for Ukraine in its war against Russia.
Economy
Zelenskyy said Russia is “deliberately” blocking Ukrainian ports, preventing the export of 22 million tonnes of grain “so that the whole of Europe struggles and so that Ukraine doesn’t earn billions of dollars from its exports”.
Russian forces have stolen “at least half a million tonnes of grain” from Ukraine, Zelenskyy said.
Moscow is ready to facilitate the unhindered export of grain from Ukrainian ports in coordination with Turkey, the Kremlin said Russia’s Vladimir Putin told Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Russian-controlled parts of Kherson and Zaporizhia regions switched over to using Russia’s mobile and internet network, state news agency RIA reported.
GasTerra will no longer receive gas from Russia’s Gazprom from May 31 after refusing to agree to Moscow’s demands for payment in roubles, the two companies said.
Apparently Russian Tanks Are Good For Transporting Stolen Goods
A Ukrainian refugee in the UK says she recognises items apparently looted from her house sitting on top of a Russian tank in a recent photo.
Alina Koreniuk says the box in the photo contains a new boiler she planned to install before the war started.
This is the EU Sanction that Counts.
EU leaders say they will block most Russian oil imports by the end of 2022 to punish Moscow for invading Ukraine.
The EU-wide ban will affect oil that arrives by sea - around two-thirds of imports - but not pipeline oil, following opposition from Hungary.
Poland and Germany have also pledged to end pipeline imports, meaning a total of 90% of Russian oil will be blocked.

Cruisin' For Fusion
If it is mastered, fusion energy will undoubtedly power much of the world. Just 1 gram of fuel as input can create the equivalent of eight tons of oil in fusion power. That’s an astonishing yield of 8 million to 1.
Atomic experts rarely like to estimate when fusion energy may be widely available, often joking that, no matter when you ask, it’s always 30 years away.
But for the first time in history, that may actually be true.
In February, scientists in the English village of Culham, near Oxford, announced a major breakthrough: they generated and sustained a record 59 megajoules of fusion energy for five seconds in a giant donut-shaped machine called a tokamak.
It was only enough to power one house for a day, and more energy went into the process than came out of it. Yet it was a truly historic moment. It proved that nuclear fusion was indeed possible to sustain on Earth.
It's Only 30 Years Away!

Will They Mention This on Fox News?
A federal jury in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday found Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann not guilty on a charge of lying to the FBI.
Prosecutors from special counsel John Durham's office had contended that Sussmann misrepresented himself during a meeting with the FBI's general counsel in 2016 in hopes of orchestrating an “October surprise” against rival Donald Trump.
The two-week trial was the first arising from Durham’s three-year-long investigation into the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation.
“While we are disappointed in the outcome, we respect the jury’s decision and thank them for their service. I also want to recognize and thank the investigators and the prosecution team for their dedicated efforts in seeking truth and justice in this case,” Durham said in a statement.

From the Folks Who Found the Higgs Boson.
Beams of protons are once again whizzing around its 27-kilometre loop at CERN, Europe’s particle-physics laboratory near Geneva. By July, physicists will be able to switch on their experiments and watch bunches of particles collide.
In its first two stints, in 2009–13 and 2015–18, the LHC explored the known physics world. All of that work — including the triumphant 2012 discovery of the Higgs boson — reaffirmed physicists’ current best description of the particles and forces that make up the Universe: the standard model. But scientists sifting through the detritus of quadrillions of high-energy collisions have yet to find proof of any surprising new particles or anything else completely unknown.
Higher energy, brighter beams, better software for choosing events to analyze, improved instruments...There have been experiments showing hints of leptoquarks and maybe a new lepton, somewhat outside the mass range we can observe directly, plus wrong masses and wrong decay rates among B mesons and W bosons.
After renovations to its particle accelerators, the third version of the LHC will collide protons at 13.6 trillion electron volts (TeV) — slightly higher than in run 2, which reached 13 TeV. The more-energetic smashes should increase the chances that collisions will create particles in high-energy regions where some theories suggest new physics could lie, says Rende Steerenberg, who leads beam operations at CERN. The machine’s beams will also deliver more-compact bunches of particles, increasing the probability of collisions. This will allow the LHC to maintain its peak rate of collisions for longer, ultimately allowing experiments to record as many data as in the first two runs combined.
