#BLM & Movement for Black Lives are promoting a 128 page bill that brings their radical protest demands into political reality.
The bill eliminates DoD ops, stops counter-terrorism programs, offers social services to illegal immigrants, &
Due to the exorbitant length of the bill (it's 128 pages) I have to explain the specifics of the BREATEHE act in sections. This article only includes the first section of the bill, which is pages 1-10.
You can find the full bill here: https://t.co/3WgchuFqXf
In the first 10 pages, the BREATHE Act moves to:
1. Repeal federal funding for local law enforcement.
The first two pages alone "abolishes" the D.E.A. and removes local law enforcement's ability to access federal funding for bulletproof vests.
2. Eliminate Department of Homeland Security (@DHSgov) programs, including ICE and Countering Violent Extremism (CVE) programs.
The specific programs that they move to abolish include:
ICE
Border Enforcement Security program
Countering Violent Extremism program
Targeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention Program
United States Citizenship and Immigration Services Denaturalization Program

This is an incredible tweet-either a direct dog whistle to the far right or playing into the same hyper masculine bluster they do, positioning āreal Americansā as red-meat eating patriots, in constraint to emasculated soy-eating liberals & feminists who 1/

A (long) thread on why Andrew is correct but ultimately incorrectā¦
Andrew is correct at the neurological level. The cognitive and ecological explanations of the brain and behaviour are completely different. Saying youāre an eclectic coach at this level is like saying you
believe the earth is round and flat. Itās simply not possible.
You CANNOT say that in one activity you are helping players build representations/memory (cognitive) and in another activity youāre helping players attune to specifying information in the environment (ecological).
No matter how much we scream eclecticism, at the neurological level Andrew is correct. But after this Andrew is incorrect.
He is basing his critique of an āit dependsā stance at a neurological ārepresentations vs informationā level (see his thread). But this isnāt the level that
āit dependsā functions (in a coaching context). āIt dependsā exists at the behavioural level (certainly not the neurological level). āIt dependsā relates to decision making around individual and group differences, as well as context. Coaching, by and large, is about helping
people manage and change behaviour ā how a coach does this will ādependā on a number of individual, group and contextual factors. That is the most important level of coaching and we donāt have to go to the neurological level to deliver efficaciously and effectively

Many coaches advocate for picking and choosing methods from a variety of theoretical camps, on the premise that which is best \u2018depends\u2019 on the player, the coach, etc and you want the biggest toolkit you can get.
