Willie Brown Middle School is a San Francisco 6-8 in the Bayview District. For the entire ‘24-‘25 school year, I have been driving the 44 O’Shaughnessy bus that stops there right after school gets out. That trip has been the busiest and most challenging part of my working day.

Less than two weeks after Pope Francis's passing, the man who is the poster child for the Seven Deadly Sins posted a picture of himself depicting him as the Pope.

This is not only offensive to millions of Catholics but is a stark insight into the mind of a deeply disturbed individual.

Appalling.

FTC Commissioner Alvaro Bedoya is part of two active lawsuits against Amazon for alleged anti-competitive and anti-consumer behavior.

Right before Trump tried to fire him, Bedoya criticized Amazon for mistreating workers.

Is it any wonder why Trump wants him gone?

These are the states that will suffer most from Trump’s executive order to gut the Department of Education?

Let that sink in.

Anyone paying attention knows that Zelenskyy is grateful and has thanked the American people more than once. Trump wanted more than a thank you. He wanted Zelenskyy to grovel—at his feet.

Imagine hearing these details – lawyers are locked in room and threatened with being fired until they agreed to dismiss —in Putin or Stalin‘s Russia. Utter brutality, putting a rule of law on a meat grinder.
