A campaign to privatize public schools named itself "Democrats for Education Reform", apparently to misrepresent the Democratic Party and turn people against it.

A deranged man who is susceptible to any conspiracy theories has been charged with starting a large wildfire in California.

Qanon is not so much a conspiracy theory as an infection. It mutates faster than HIV, which makes the question of the validity of any of these almost irrelevant for susceptible hosts. Disprove one strain and they will fall prey to another, and another.

The Department of Education, lead by DeVos, is systematically finding ways to increase discrimination and impoverish the poor.

A Tory proposal would try to end homelessness in England by spending roughly 13 million dollars a year over 10 years.

This is good in principle (though I wonder why the rest of the UK is not included), but it can't possibly do the job as long as the Tories continue pushing most people into poverty. That will generate new homeless people faster than they can get anyone out of homelessness.

Unless perhaps the "accommodation" intended for these people is a small cell.

Note that I am using the word "homeless" in the American sense. In UK terminology means something else.

Nonviolent activists kayaking to protest oil pipeline construction in Louisiana were kidnaped by private security guards, then charged with felonies under a recently adopted law designed to give the planet-roasters total power.
