The Senate can pass a bill to regulate college sports, but they can't pass bills to lower the price of gas, groceries, or healthcare. They can't rein in Trump's thirst for war in Iran or trade wars with Canada, but they can tell college athletes how often they're allowed to transfer. Cool.

"As a person, she's kind, considerate, tough as hell, and resilient. If you don't know enough about Holly's career, this might be an opportunity to learn more because the ugliness of this week should never be what people think of when Holly Rowe's name comes up.
"But this is where we are in 2026. That some person, some human being out there, uses Al to create a video depicting violence against someone so respected and so beloved. And some percentage of people at a press conference, who are colleagues of Holly, who should look up to her, laugh about it.When someone lamented that "everyone [is] so offended about everything," Fowler replied, "Yeah your post is way off base.
And ignorant. Perhaps you have a rare talent for massively missing the point.
Two real people that I have known for decades being depicted in a case of physical abuse when isn't humor to me. I guess you're just another one who finds depictions of violence on women hilarious.'

You don't know this, but December 6 is National Miners Day. It was established in 2009 to acknowledge the Monongah mining disaster, the worst single loss-of-life event in a coal mine in American history. On December 6, 1907, at least 362
WVa coal miners were killed in a catastrophic explosion. My father's father died in a mine explosion in the 1930s. My mother's father was dying of black lung when his tiny U.S. Steel-owned house burned down with him in it. By that time, my parents' siblings and their families had scattered to California, Colorado, New York, and D.C. to find employment other than mining. My father (pictured here in U.S.
Steel Gary #9 mine, 1958) also had black lung, but thanks to improved mine safety and ventilation laws, not a fatal case.A hundred years ago, Matewan sheriff Sid Hatfield, who had shown allegiance to the unionized miners of southwestern WVa rather than the coal companies, was gunned down alongside a friend as their wives watched in horror. This happened in my home county on the McDowell County courthouse steps in Welch, WVa. Those murders catalyzed a movement, the largest labor uprising in history. The history of violence against miners and their families, combined with low wages, dangerous jobs, and what amounted to indentured servitude with a lifetime of debt, were all contributors to the Blair Mountain uprising.The Battle of Blair Mountain saw 10,000 WVa coal miners march in protest of perilous work conditions, squalid housing, low wages, and many other grievances. Local and federal law enforcement brutally shut down the burgeoning movement. Miners striking for greater union recognition clashed with armed Baldwin-Felts agents, hired mercenaries employed by coal companies to put down unionizingefforts. They drove families from their homes at gunpoint, drove an armored train through a tent colony of the evicted miners and sprayed their tents with machine gun fire, and burned women and children alive in a mining camp cellar.
