We need a meaningful children’s rights movement in this country. There is a long history of the government - all three branches - upholding “parental rights” to the detriment of children.
Particularly the right to a good education and to adequate healthcare, including vaccinations.

Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations.

Crime rates in all three cities have gone down, and in Baltimore at astounding levels, in part by treating crime as a public health crisis, rather than a "need more cops" crisis. popular.info/p/the-secret...

How many nights should I stay in the Museum of Repressed Writers? Should I splurge on the evening brutalist architecture tour that has a warning for “strange energy and emotional gravity” or go to a town where you can wander around abandoned Soviet sanatoriums? Travel planning is my favorite hobby
