From Covid to this in five years (not to mention school shootings), I don’t know how we think educators can continue on like this. Public schools have long served as our duct tape for a failing society but that failure is maybe too great for this tape to hold.
My latest story about how the community at Chappell Elementary in Lincoln Square are trying to help a family after ICE took their dad. It’s a look at the disruption and resistance roiling Chicago

Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

If your government thinks the Pope “doesn’t know what he’s talking about” when he defends migrants’ dignity, the world should see the warning sign. The US is no longer leading on human rights. It’s suppressing them.

I don't know what will happen in NYC tonight, but I do know that regardless of outcome, any number of public figures, celebrities, politicians and institutions that oppose Mamdani have done so with a level of rhetorical ugliness, racism, and dishonesty that should neither be forgotten nor forgiven.

There is some sad irony in McClatchy shutting its DC bureau the same day that Dick Cheney died.
That bureau (then Knight-Ridder) did some of the best, most skeptical reporting anywhere in the run-up to the Iraq War. And they took a lot of shit for it at the time.

Instead of asking the Speaker of the House if he has a view on <critical separation-of-powers QOTD>, maybe reporters should start asking him if he reads any newspapers or otherwise informs himself on those matters to which we might think the Speaker of the House ought to be paying attention?
RAJU: Last week you were very critical of Biden's use of the autopen. But Trump admitted on 60 Minutes to not knowing he pardoned a crypto billionaire who pleaded guilty to money laundering. Does that also concern you?
MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know anything about that. I didn't see it. I'm not sure.

I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

Home Depot would like immigrants abducted to the camps, and they would also like this to not affect their business. This is the sort of Kindergartener-level magical thinking every large company is engaging in at the moment, especially mainstream media.

Trump claims ICE agents are in constant danger. The data tells another story. Records show that none of ICE’s agents have ever been killed by an immigrant in the agency’s more than two-decade history.
Instead, the leading cause of death by far among ICE officers is COVID-19.
