They can build a facility to house immigrants in 8 days but have "no idea" how to help the homeless, many who are veterans. They can spend billions to go to war, but they won't provide children free lunch. What land of the free is this?

At what point does America get assistance from other countries? Where is the line? Alligator Alcatraz is one of the most disturbing things I've ever seen, yet it feels like screaming into a void.

New York City's homicide rate is lower than the nation's as a whole. In Trump-friendly Alabama, the homicide rate is triple the rate in NYC. But Stephen Miller spreads fear of big cities and immigrants because he's a disgusting racist.

It's times like these where we need writers the most. We need to dream again, think again, hear other voices. And if I'm being honest, sometimes I need some escapism from the news I see everyday. Living in America right now is hard- but please don't stop creating.

if you teach any subject other than AI and you want students to do their own work, then the solution to the challenge posed by generative AI is neither to embrace generative AI in the classroom nor to spend class time exploring the limits of generative AI in the classroom

Here’s the thing, if they are picking up folks working in the country illegally, I’m going to need to see some white guys also being arrested for employing people working illegally in the country.
Otherwise, it’s just racism.

I've read many articles about the declining literacy rate in America, and if you can't see how that's reflected in politics, then you are missing the point and have lost the plot.

Trump is in the process of destroying our justice system, Harvard, CBS News, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the careers of countless scientists, and many other things that make America great. If we don't stop him, he’ll eventually get around to you.

I'd love to see a community where younger writers and authors could get advice from mature writers/authors. Sometimes I feel as if I need a shift in perspective.
