Breaking: The Supreme Court is now officially considering taking up a case overturning same-sex marriage.
This is the first time in history the court has considered rolling back this right.

Resolution Copper is blocking comments and hiding replies from anyone calling out what they’re doing at Oak Flat. They’re trying to mine on sacred Native American land, with the government’s help, and don’t want the public to push back.

Katie Chung is one of three finalists for JCBA’s next Salzberg Residency. Her proposal revolves around her immigrant mother’s story and dry cleaning shop in Chicago. The hanbok is made from dry cleaning tags; the piece in the handmade box is made from sewing pins and a dry cleaning hanger.

We should speak from conscience, not for whatever polls well, and if we speak enough and well enough we shift the conversation, shift what people care about. We have, again and again. Because so many don't participate, we don't need absolute majorities; we can go far with passionate minorities.
No, actually, we shouldn't just let the government violently attack people on the streets and disappear them into foreign gulags. We should try to stop them.
