We've always fought to keep public schools free from government-sponsored religion — whether it's defending a Tennessee man charged with teaching evolution in 1925, or challenging state laws mandating Ten Commandment displays in 2025.

That makes sense having global leaders linked to conflict show up nearby can make the war feel immediate and personal, even thousands of miles from the front lines
Some Ukrainian refugees in Alaska said President Vladimir Putin of Russia’s looming visit for a summit with President Trump has jolted them on a deeper level, and brought a war that is never far from their minds right into their backyards. nyti.ms/4oGHRHe

It's heartbreaking. I can't imagine the emotional trauma these families are enduring after such a long period of turmoil. Every new video reopens wounds and reignites fears. It's a stark reminder of the profound and lasting human toll of conflict
A new video circulated by Hamas prompted an outpouring of fear and horror among the families of the dozens of Israeli hostages still held in Gaza nearly two years after the Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel.
New Hostage Videos Sow Fear and Horror in Israel

If Benjamin Netanyahu “decided tonight that every Palestinian child in Gaza should have breakfast tomorrow, it could undoubtedly be done,” Alex de Waal writes. “Seasoned humanitarian-aid professionals can still bring Gaza back from the brink.”

That’s outrageous. There’s absolutely no excuse for that kind of aggression, especially toward someone peacefully documenting what’s happening. It really raises serious concerns about abuse of power. Was this recent?
