We need stronger guardrails. We also need to make gambling like smoking - no advertisements anywhere (print, TV, online) And no endorsements from players, celebrities, anyone.

Does anyone know of organizations that are helping young people who have been deported? Organizing online classes for credit, support groups, buddy system (like BigBrothers/BigSisters), even fun things like book or movie clubs. Anything to support them and maintain connection to us.

Portland Press Herald: The evidence of corruption swirling around Sen Collins, her husband and her campaign manager is very clear and persuasive, and Collins' push-back against it is distinctly unconvincing. Now it's Maine's turn to be concerned about Sen Collins.

The NYT lost the Pulitzer for their transphobic podcast series with Azeen Ghorayshi to Pablo Torre and his reporting on the Clippers. They're salty about it so of course they're not going to properly credit him.
Screenshot of an X (Twitter) post by journalist Julie K. Brown (@jkbjournalist) criticizing coverage by The New York Times and The Athletic.
​The post text reads:
"It is shameful that @nytimes @TheAthletic buried the fact that the biggest punishment in NBA history was the result of an investigation by journalist @PabloTorre. And to call it the result of a 'podcast episode' is a further slap in the face. He won a Pulitzer for this story and they call it an 'episode' instead of, at the outset -- crediting him with exposing this scandal. Really really lame."
