This isn’t jail...it’s an Abu Ghraib remake. A double-amputee detainee in solitary? That’s not security...it’s sadism. Georgia’s system just proved how low America can sink when cruelty goes official.

If we are not educating our children, what are we even doing here?
If you want to see the consequences of low education funding, look no further than Alaska.

How Alaska’s Budget Crisis Has Kept the State From Fixing Crumbling Rural Schools @emilyschwing.bsky.social
Alaska Ignored Warning Signs of a Budget Crisis. Now It Doesn’t Have Funding to Fix Crumbling Schools.
Lawmakers only budgeted $40 million of the nearly $800 million that districts say is needed to fix and maintain schools to keep them safe and operating. Gov. Mike Dunleavy then vetoed more than two-th...

I wonder where we would be now if people had believed Anita Hill, or Christine Blasey Ford, or so many girls and women who have been victimized by rich and powerful men.
I know this feels rhetorical, but why don’t we listen to the women?

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

Warnock: A budget is not just a fiscal document. A budget is a moral document. Show me your budget and I'll show you who you think matters and who doesn't. And if this awful budget were an EKG, it would suggest that our nation has a heart problem and is in need of moral surgery

Juneteenth is the perfect moment to remind everyone of two facts:
1. Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
2. Those who prevent history from being taught are plotting to repeat it.
Read this out loud. Read it again. Then teach it to your kids.

I'm a breast cancer survivor. I'm likely to be a cancer patient again. I pray for cutting edge research to extend the time I have with my kids.
This breaks my heart.
It's going to lead to so much death.

No, I don't want to "quickly hop on a call with you". I want to bump into you at random on a rain-lashed heath, nod at you in silent mutual admiration as we watch a buzzard gliding smoothly over a dramatic chicane in the river, then get the fuck on with my day.

Journalists: you cannot deport U.S. citizens out of their own country. Do not simply regurgitate the words of the administration if those words are inaccurate. To do so is spreading disinformation. Deportation, according to the govt itself, is for people with no legal right to be here.

A little while ago, my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the weeks dragged on, they became extremely worried. My dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up in some of art and music's most iconic scenes.
