I coached at a school without one trans kid, but the girls had to be in the gym at 5:45 am and out by 7 am because our sport didn’t matter. If folks really cared about equity in girls sports, they’d fund them and give them the same access to gyms and fields and uniforms and coaches and busses.

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

I was raised a rural southern Baptist. I didn’t know what I didn’t know. When I went to college, and took a Black history class, my world changed and I couldn’t wait to teach the history that I had learned. This is why they want to defund higher education. Why they remove true history.

I love that there's still a paper that makes a political cartoon the centerpiece of its front page. This was once commonplace. By veteran cartoonist Bill Bramhall.

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.
