In Alabama professors and the press are now required by law to call the body of water our state touches the Gulf of America, or, the body of water historically known as the Gulf of Mexico. Sigh.

“As long as we continue to rescue our own children from the failing schools where we allow other people’s children to languish simply because those children have been born Black and poor in a nation of racism and riches, there is no absolution here. Not for me. Not for you. Not for any of us.”

If Trump doesn’t remember precisely where he was and what he was doing, then he is definitely senile and should be removed from office. The only thing I don’t remember is what I was wearing, but I remember exactly what I had to buy at the Princeton Banana Republic on 9/12 because I couldn’t go home
