Nothing says, “I’m a hard worker” like this entitled oversharer.
Worth noting that the student admits that she just threw the thing together in 30 minutes without reading the paper she was supposed to be responding to.

Rinse. Repeat.
Only a matter of time until a UC Berkeley law professor writes a memo justifying torture, a brave Vanity Fair writer gets tortured to say whether it hurts, and we have a national discussion about whether certain people should be tortured for our safety.

DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar:

"Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

While Trump shatters alliances, pays fealty to tech bros & Putin, & covers up his corruption & abuse, ordinary Americans are struggling to stay ahead.

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

What happened at Bondi Beach is horrifying.

Anti-Semitism should have no home anywhere. It is antithetical to humanity’s call to be our brothers’ & sisters’ keepers & to do unto others as we would have them do to us.

I will hold the families & victims in my heart.

When the state bars use of racial information to LIMIT minority access to education & voting while sanctioning the use of racial information to MAXIMIZE the arrest, harassment, & deport minorities you live in a racist state.

As my time on the school board ends, I am so grateful for the chance to serve. I entered kindergarten in SCASD at Ferguson Township Elementary School in 1981 and graduated in 1994.

I share six maxims I learned from my time on the Board.

Globe review of companies with the most SNAP recipients in the state shows many are employed by high-profile companies in retail, health care, and the gig economy: Amazon, Walmart, Uber, DoorDash, and Tempus Unlimited, & others.

It’s a shame that a nation loaded with money crushes so many people.
The Boston Globe identified the companies in Massachusetts that employ the most SNAP recipients. A key stat: "In Massachusetts, 74% of working-age recipients of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program are employed, half of them full-time."

Quite a few elites supported Hitler because they believed it would serve them. They used the politics of catastrophe, manufactured controversies, purged agencies, & attacked workers’ rights. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

We need to be at the table with young people to tackle the challenges we face.

With the largest generation of youth on a planet in crisis, we must find ways to fairly treat them and equitably involve them in the decisions shaping their world.

I have never been more worried about American life and the world than I am today.

But somehow, I am not in despair. It’s not because I am plugging my ears, covering my eyes, or shouting over the din.
