In first grade, Logan wore his hair long to connect with his Native culture.
His school demanded he cut it, but after Logan and his family pushed back, the school updated its rules to allow for long hair on boys.

My Son's Hair is Part of a Thousand-Year-Old Tribal Culture. His School Called it a 'Fad.' | ACLU
The school’s requirement is a rejection of who he is and a demand that he sacrifice his culture and heritage to conform to baseless and unfair rules.

I'm suing the USDA over its illegal attempt to cut off SNAP benefits for lawful permanent residents.
As many as 35,000 New Yorkers could lose food assistance and states face billions in unjust penalties.

I hope folks realize that between Trump, Kushner, Hegseth, Witkoff, Noem, RFK, Jr., Kash Patel, and Tulsi Gabbard, this country is almost entirely undefended.
Q: Have you heard this audio that Bloomberg has of Witkoff coaching the Russians on how to appeal to you?
TRUMP: That's a standard thing. He's gotta sell this to Ukraine, he's gonna sell Ukraine to Russia. That's what a dealmaker does. I haven't heard it but I heard it was standard negotiation.
