I do not have one woman in my friend group who is sleeping through the night anymore. I get up and wander from room to room. I don’t know what to do with my rage other than to show up every day, but it continues into the night.

If this is accurate, Good was killed by a bullet fired after there was any conceivable argument Agent Ross was in the path of her vehicle, which means there was no legal justification for using deadly force. But DOJ says there’s no reason to investigate. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/21/u...

Savitribai Phule (1831–1897) was a courageous Indian social reformer, educator, and poet who played a groundbreaking role in championing women’s rights and education during British colonial rule. Alongside her husband, Jyotirao Phule, she opened the first school for girls in India in 1848 in Pune, defying deep-rooted caste and gender discrimination.
Born into a marginalized community, Savitribai faced relentless societal opposition, yet remained undeterred in her mission to empower oppressed groups through education. She also worked tirelessly to eliminate child marriage, promote widow remarriage, and support victims of caste violence.
An eloquent writer, she used poetry and prose to expose injustice and inspire change. Her activism extended to public health as well—she cared for plague victims during an outbreak and ultimately died while nursing the sick.

Over 71 million Americans are paid less than a living wage, and are forced into social safety nets like SNAP. If you think too many people are receiving SNAP benefits, don’t shame them. Shame their employers paying them poverty wages and forcing taxpayers to subsidize the rest.
