For years, mifepristone and similar drugs have been used to treat uterine fibroids and endometriosis. Now researchers are exploring whether these drugs could have other uses in women’s health, including preventing some cancers. to.pbs.org/4xCEOTm

Jon Husted was at the center of the biggest corruption scandal in Ohio history, receiving $3.5 million from FirstEnergy. He secured a bailout for FirstEnergy and raised your utility rates to pay for it.

I am incensed by sexual violence, and also angry that the systems that have disappointed people are actually working as intended. A system's purpose is what it does. It's pretty hard to make progress without acknowledging that.

I could do this all day, but you get the point(s). Trust in higher ed ≠ trust in Ivy Leagues. Budgets are moral documents and if you want to examine trust in higher ed, look at how states prioritize public higher education.

People sleep on CUNY but it is one of the absolute JEWELS of U.S. Higher Ed and has been for decades. And what's the thanks the system gets??? It has to fight for its life every single year because it has been systematically defunded.

Many professional class whites seem to have decided that the moral of Nikole Hannah-Jones' NYT piece is that she was wrong to care about the education of disadvantaged Black kids in the first place and nothing can be done.

Greatest trick AI leaders have pulled is convincing many people—especially influential people in govt, media, and business—that their software is intelligent, independent, yet never culpable. Humans build it, humans deploy it, but no one bears responsibility for the things that happen when they do.

"In 2020, there were only six programs in the U.S. that sent unarmed responders, such as mental health clinicians, to certain 911 calls instead of police officers. Now, these programs — sometimes called alternative or community response — are in nearly 100 cities." www.npr.org/2026/09/22/n...

Alternative response programs, where mental health clinicians respond to 911 calls instead of police, have proliferated since George Floyd's murder. What does it take to do this work well?

2) It’s interesting (though predictable) that before they’ve read how the testing was conducted over 15 years I’ve seen comments attempting to debunk the results. The need to oppose is just knee jerk, even though this kind of circumstance was common in the slave society in which TJ lived.

1) Thank you, Karin. I’m happy that both the 1998 and 2026 DNA tests results jibe with the historical evidence compiled in my first book. I also think the historical information alone should be enough. But I know the world we live in & why DNA was brought into the picture.

For context, the Ohio Department of Education rated my children’s school a 2 out of five stars on its annual report last week. that makes it one of the lowest in the district, the largest district in the state. Look me in the eyes when I say this: school ratings based on test scores are bullshit.

4) the elementary school experience described in the article sounds very different than ours. My fifth grader, who I could not be less concerned about academically, read the article and I asked for her thoughts: “My school is a good school”

I’ll say this about Hannah-Jones’s piece 1) it is required reading 2) White parents like me have so much less to lose snd so much to gain relative to Black parents 3) you and your fellow parents and community members working together can demand the schools kids deserve and

I did not make this choice in isolation. Our local teachers union had its first strike in 40 years when we switched the kids out of their White-majority schools. Ohio has fierce education justice organizations that have taught me the difference between activism vs. organizing.
