In the litanies about the Post layoffs, everyone keeps forgetting to say features. Twas ever thus at the Post, but those stories about the seizing of American cultural institutions? They don't report and write themselves.

A Virginia school board is being sued by the NAACP for reinstating the names of Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson on two of its schools after stripping the names in 2020. I went to the hearing where it felt like the Confederacy itself was on trial. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/23/u...

“This level of attack is unsustainable for Chicagoans.” President Trump claimed that crime-afflicted Black residents begged him to intervene in Chicago. Six weeks into the crackdown, the attack on crime that he promised hasn’t happened, and many in the city’s Black population haven’t been won over.

This gulf story has everything: a map-maker debating the name change, an oceanographer listening to whales, a Venezuelan mom on a gulf-side bus ride to an immigration appt — all bookended by Margaritavilles (Key West & S. Padre Island) and, of course, SpaceX. www.washingtonpost.com/style/power/...

Trump wants it known as the Gulf of America. How American is the gulf?

February 1 is the beginning of Black History Month, which for decades has recognized the contributions of Black people to American civic life and culture. With President Trump’s furious assault on diversity programs, the celebration takes on new significance.
