Some things never change: apparently world war 2 spy training taught that the best way to get intel, especially for women, wasn’t to ask questions but to make an incorrect statement around an expert.

A page on the Defense Department’s website celebrated Pfc. Ira Hayes, a Pima Indian who was one of the six Marines photographed hoisting a U.S. flag at Iwo Jima in 1945.

The page, along with many others about minority service members, has now been erased.

A US-born citizen was walking near Chicago in January. ICE snatched him off the street, handcuffed him, threw into a van. His wallet, which contained his ID, was confiscated. He was detained for 10 hours before being released without a record of what occurred.

People who change your life:
Ted Schmidt taught highschool to my punk rock bandmates. When our band went on the road Ted gave us books on social justice and how to turn faith into action.
He has been part of my life ever since.
He is in his 80s and holds a weekly vigil on Kingston road for peace.

It's come to my attention that some people believe you can't buy a new book until you've read the books you already have. Let me assure you, as both a lawyer and a writer, that this idea is legally and morally WRONG and BAD. Buy more books.

for the trump administration even this few black people is a few too many
88% (!) of major U.S law firm partners are white and nearly 75% are men. And more than 50% of firms report having *zero* Black partners. These numbers are even worse when you look at equity partners.

This action by the EEOC is nothing short of disgusting.
