Flash flooding has killed at least six people, including a 3-year-old, in West Virginia.

In the middle of it all people are stepping up to help one another.

With the state's capacity limited, and Trump making severe cuts to FEMA, neighbors are helping neighbors.

Yesterday, the U of Minnesota deleted the American Indian Studies’ statement on Palestine. (Also deleted was a story about Leonard Peltier’s return home and five other dept statements on Palestine.) Our expertise matters if we don’t oppose genocide. web.archive.org/web/20250322...

🚨BREAKING🚨

From the start of 2024 to year end, many had unusual trades & huge portfolio gains.

Here are the top political traders of 2024.
