Project Milk Carton and The Constitutional Republic will release a detailed 7-part investigative series breaking down one of the most overlooked education stories in America: how Social-Emotional Learning (SEL), billionaire-funded nonprofit networks, federal COVID relief money, and ideological education standards became deeply connected inside America’s schools.
This series is based on publicly available records, financial filings, curriculum alignment documents, government funding reports, and organizational partnerships that most parents have never seen explained in one place.
At the center of the investigation is a critical question:
When schools purchased “Social-Emotional Learning” programs, did parents and communities fully understand what frameworks, organizations, and political ideologies were connected to them?
That question has become even more important as national attention surrounding the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) continues to grow.
Fox News recently reported that SPLC-linked “anti-racism” curriculum materials connected to Learning for Justice were found being used in classrooms as early as kindergarten. The report raised concerns about how deeply these frameworks have entered schools and whether parents fully understood the political and ideological content tied to them.
At the same time, the SPLC is now facing major federal scrutiny unrelated to school curriculum but directly tied to its organizational operations and funding practices.
On April 21, 2026, the U.S. Department of Justice announced that a federal grand jury in Montgomery, Alabama returned an 11-count indictment against the Southern Poverty Law Center.
According to the DOJ:
The SPLC faces 6 counts of wire fraud
4 counts of false statements to a federally insured bank
And 1 count of conspiracy to commit concealment money laundering
Federal prosecutors allege that between 2014 and 2023, the SPLC secretly funneled more than $3 million in donated funds to individuals connected to violent extremist organizations through informant and shell-company arrangements while allegedly misleading donors and financial institutions about how the money was being used.
The DOJ has also filed forfeiture actions to recover alleged proceeds connected to the case.
The SPLC has denied the allegations and described the investigation as politically motivated. The organization argues the payments were tied to intelligence-gathering operations designed to prevent violence and assist law enforcement. At this stage, the indictment targets the organization itself and not individual executives, though reports indicate a superseding indictment may still be possible as the case develops.
This criminal case is separate from the Learning for Justice curriculum discussion. However, it has intensified public scrutiny surrounding the SPLC’s broader operations, influence networks, funding pipelines, and educational partnerships.
The investigation series will follow the trail from:
The SPLC’s Learning for Justice program
CASEL and the redefinition of “Transformative SEL”
Second Step curriculum alignment documents
Billionaire-backed nonprofit funding networks
Tides Foundation pass-through funding
ESSER COVID education funding
School counselor standards
State education pipelines
And finally into classrooms across America.

Let’s say you’re a beginner looking at a new market for the 1st time
Figuring out where to start can be daunting
Here’re the steps you should take so you can start buying deals
1. Source market rents 2. Understand expense load 3. Get to know the market
Let’s get into it:
The goal is twofold. 1. To be able to build a P&L in the market from scratch and 2. To know where/where not to buy in the market
1. Market rents - ideally you have access to the costar or MLS
If you don’t, you can ask brokers who’re currently marketing deals for comps on their specific deal and catalogue those
If you don’t have access to costar/MLS and can’t get comps from a broker, look on Zillow or apartments dot com. This won’t be perfect as they’re not “closed” comps but you should still be able to triangulate. You can also call up neighboring buildings and get real live rent quotes
2. The expense load - Go on loopnet or Crexi. There should be tons of deals being actively marketed for sale in the market
Click on the individual deals and download every single P&L you can find (if they’re not publicly listed, call the broker and ask for them)
You need to get 5+ P&Ls at minimum. Take them and line them up in excel next to each other
Now you want to catalogue and record:
- the cost of each line item per unit (utilities, insurance, etc)
- the cost of each line item per SF
- the overall NOI margin
What does this allow you to do?
Well now that you have this information, you can underwrite new deals from scratch
Once you know the unit count, you can simply reference your data to see what the appropriate cost per unit should be and plug that into your underwriting
You can also talk to property management companies in the area to get a good sense of expense load
So by this point you should be able to build out an entire P&L as you have the revenue (market rent) and the expense load down pat
Today, a CIA whistleblower sat before my committee and confirmed what I've said for years: government officials, including Dr. Fauci, deliberately misled the American people about the origins of COVID-19. This is not a conspiracy theory. This is sworn testimony. 🧵
Let me be clear about what we know. Taxpayer dollars funded risky gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Fauci denied it under oath. The evidence says otherwise.
Today's whistleblower revealed a coordinated effort inside the intelligence community to suppress dissenting views on COVID's origins, including a January 2020 briefing that flagged a possible Wuhan lab origin. That briefing was buried. The American people were kept in the dark.
Exploring How Standing Waves Create Invisible Architecture in Matter, Sound, and Biological Systems
I. Resonance as the Foundation of Form
Resonance is one of the most fundamental organizing principles observed throughout nature. Wherever energy moves through a medium... whether air, water, biological tissue, electromagnetic fields, or quantum systems... patterns of oscillation emerge. Under specific conditions, these oscillations stabilize into coherent structures capable of shaping matter, regulating biological activity, and organizing complex systems across scales. Rather than existing as isolated physical objects, many structures in nature appear to arise through dynamic relationships between vibration, geometry, and energetic equilibrium.
At the center of this phenomenon lies the standing wave. Unlike traveling waves that dissipate energy outward, standing waves localize oscillatory energy into stable spatial configurations. These patterns emerge when waves of identical frequency interact in opposing directions, producing regions of constructive and destructive interference. The result is a highly ordered architecture composed of nodes, antinodes, harmonic divisions, and geometric boundaries. What appears visually as solid structure may therefore represent stabilized patterns of resonance operating beneath the surface of perception.
The geometry produced through resonance is not arbitrary. Standing waves naturally distribute energy according to mathematical ratios that minimize instability while preserving coherence. This tendency toward harmonic organization appears repeatedly throughout physics, acoustics, chemistry, biology, and even cosmological systems. Resonance transforms movement into structure, instability into pattern, and energy into spatial organization
II. Standing Waves and Invisible Spatial Order
Standing waves demonstrate that vibration can create stable geometric order without direct mechanical construction. On a vibrating string, resonance generates harmonic divisions corresponding to precise mathematical relationships. In acoustic chambers, standing waves organize pressure fields into repeating spatial intervals. In fluid systems,oscillatory interference creates symmetrical vortices and rhythmic pattern formation. Across all these examples, resonance functions as an invisible architectural mechanism shaping how energy distributes itself through space.
This principle becomes especially striking because standing-wave systems exhibit self-organizing behavior. The geometry emerges spontaneously once critical resonant conditions are achieved. Order is not externally imposed but internally generated through feedback and interference. Resonant systems naturally seek configurations capable of sustaining energetic stability Certain frequencies amplify structure while others destabilize it, revealing that form itself may partially arise from selective vibrational organization.
The implications of this principle extend far beyond acoustics. Resonance demonstrates that physical systems possess intrinsic capacities for spontaneous pattern formation. Matter does not merely occupy space passively; it responds dynamically to oscillatory environments. Geometry becomes inseparable from frequency because vibrational relationships directly influence structural arrangement
This suggests that many natural forms may represent visible expressions of deeper oscillatory fields operating beneath ordinary observation.
III. Cymatics and the Visualization of Frequency
Cymatics offers one of the clearest demonstrations of resonance-driven geometry. When sound frequencies are transmitted through vibrating surfaces containing sand, powders, or liquids, highly organized patterns emerge spontaneously. As frequencies change, the geometry reorganizes into increasingly intricate structures composed of circles, radial symmetries,lattices, spirals,polygons,and complex harmonic Arrangements
These experiments reveal that vibration possesses the capacity to spatially organize matter into coherent forms. The particles migrate according to energetic equilibrium, settling into nodal regions where oscillatory movement is minimized. The resulting patterns are not random artistic effects but physical manifestations of standing-wave dynamics.
The significance of cymatics lies not merely in its visual beauty, but in what it reveals about the relationship between energy and structure. Frequency directly influences geometry. Oscillation determines spatial organization. Matter responds to vibrational fields by arranging itself according to hidden harmonic constraints.
Although cymatics is often exaggerated in speculative interpretations, its core physical principles remain scientifically valid. Resonance demonstrably influences how material systems organize themselves. The broader implication is that vibrational order may participate in shaping far more complex systems throughout nature, including biological organization and neural dynamics.
IV. Biological Resonance and Rhythmic Coherence
Biological systems are fundamentally oscillatory. The body operates through layered rhythms interacting continuously across multiple scales. Heartbeats emerge through synchronized electrical signaling. Neural networks coordinate cognition through oscillatory synchronization. Respiratory cycles regulate nervous system states. Hormonal patterns fluctuate rhythmically according to circadian timing mechanisms. Even cellular communication depends upon precisely timed electrochemical signaling.
Life is not static equilibrium; it is dynamic coherence maintained through rhythmic coordination.
Within living organisms, resonance enables distributed systems to function collectively without centralized mechanical control. Neural oscillations synchronize distant brain regions during perception, memory formation, and attention. Cardiac rhythms influence emotional regulation and physiological stability. Synchronization across biological systems allows complex organisms to preserve internal coherence while adapting to constantly changing environments.
Disruptions in these oscillatory relationships often correlate with dysfunction. Cardiac arrhythmias destabilize circulatory regulation. Neurological desynchronization can impair cognition and perception. Biological systems depend upon resonant integration because coherent oscillation allows large-scale coordination to emerge from countless local interactions.
This does not reduce life to simplistic “vibrations,” but it strongly suggests that resonance serves as a foundational organizational principle within living systems. Biological form and function are inseparable from rhythmic interaction
V. Harmonics, Symmetry, and Natural Geometry
One of the defining characteristics of resonant systems is the emergence of harmonics. Harmonics are frequencies related through simple mathematical ratios, and they naturally produce symmetrical patterns because their oscillatory cycles periodically align. Harmonic organization creates stability by allowing multiple frequencies to coexist coherently within the same system.
Music provides a direct experiential example of this principle. Harmonic intervals such as octaves and perfect fifths are perceived as stable because their waveforms synchronize repeatedly over time. Dissonance emerges when wave relationships become more irregular and unstable. Human perception itself appears deeply sensitive to harmonic geometry.
Similar principles appear throughout nature. Planetary orbital resonances stabilize celestial systems over immense timescales. Crystal structures emerge through repeating energetic configurations. Spiral growth patterns in plants reflect recursive optimization processes governed by geometric constraints. Fluid vortices organize themselves through rotational symmetries generated dynamically through motion.
Nature repeatedly demonstrates a tendency toward harmonic organization because resonance allows complexity to stabilize without eliminating adaptability. Order and flexibility coexist through oscillatory balance.
The geometry of resonance therefore reveals that symmetry is not merely aesthetic. It is often the visible consequence of energetic coherence.

La Hermandad Sacramental del Santísimo Cristo de la Sed (@hermandadsed) presenta el proyecto de techo de palio para Santa María de Consolación, Madre de la Iglesia, que he tenido la fortuna de proyectar. Resulta un paso decisivo en la construcción de la identidad propia del paso de palio de la Santísima Virgen.
A continuación, os invito a recorrer los detalles de esta obra.
El diseño parte de tres premisas:
- La continuidad con el estilo ecléctico-modernista del manto —obra del recordado Fernando Prini— y las bambalinas.
- La consecución de un techo de gran luminosidad para subsanar el actual ensombrecimiento.
-La culminación del discurso iconográfico del paso, concibiendo el techo como trasunto de la Nueva Jerusalén.
La composición bebe del mejor regionalismo sevillano de raíz orientalizante, del arte bizantino y de sus derivados —románico y mudéjar—. Hojas de acanto, palmetas y roleos de tradición grecolatina, estilizados y depurados, conforman un lenguaje ornamental de hondo calado histórico y espiritual.
Cabe notar que ya Cayetano González, artista célebre del regionalismo y génesis creativa del palio de Consolación, implementó de forma ecléctica todos estos estilos.

Following some discussions on ARMYtwt, I’ve decided to deconstruct the emotional and philosophical behind Please and One More Night. 🧵↓
To understand their differences, we must look at two pillars: the duality of Time (Chronos vs. Kairos) and the essence of Han (한)
One More Night is a battle against the clock. It operates within the tension between Chronos (linear, consuming time) and Kairos (the opportune, eternal moment). It’s an urgent attempt to halt the former to make the latter last forever
1/ The Russian Navy now appears to be covering entire submarines in anti-drone nets. A satellite photograph published by a Russian warblogger shows two net-covered Pacific Fleet submarines anchored alongside quays. ⬇️
2/ According to the Russian warblogger 'Ramsay', the photo "shows the Pacific Fleet's submarine command attempting to prevent a repeat of Operation Spiderweb." The location in question is the Rybachiy Naval Base in Kamchatka, over 7,300 km from Ukraine.

🚨 Intercept vaza áudio e conversas de Flávio pedindo dinheiro a Vorcaro para filme de Bolsonaro
A matéria fala em US$ 24 milhões para bancar Dark Horse, produção internacional sobre Jair Bolsonaro. Em uma mensagem enviada na véspera da prisão do banqueiro, Flávio chama Vorcaro de “irmão” e escreve: “estou e estarei contigo sempre”.
Na mesma hora, o Ibovespa caiu, o dólar subiu 2% e o Polymarket precificou a candidatura de Flávio morrendo.
Entenda os detalhes da divulgação!
1️⃣ US$ 24 milhões para Dark Horse
A negociação revelada envolve US$ 24 milhões para financiar Dark Horse, filme internacional sobre Jair Bolsonaro.
Os registros citados apontam que US$ 10,6 milhões, cerca de R$ 61 milhões, já teriam sido pagos entre fevereiro e maio de 2025.
Se o material resistir à contestação, Flávio deixa de ser personagem lateral. Ele vira parte da cobrança pessoal por recursos de Vorcaro.
2️⃣ “Irmão” na véspera da prisão
A mensagem mais constrangedora veio em 16 de novembro de 2025, um dia antes de Vorcaro ser preso tentando deixar o país.
Flávio escreveu: “Irmão, estou e estarei contigo sempre”. Depois, pediu que o banqueiro desse “uma luz”.
Uma demonstração que afasta a ideia de Vorcaro como alguém distante da família. A conversa mostra intimidade política e financeira no pior momento do Banco Master.
