I'm sorry but it's clearly newsworthy that the President's decisions are being unduly influenced by a mentally unstable obsessive no one voted for who has attached themselves to him in an effort to live out weird fantasies they've had for decades. Something has to be done about Stephen Miller.

This ruling is inhumane, unjust, and completely devastating for the trans community. But we cannot give up hope. Together we will fight, we will win, and we will pass a Trans Bill of Rights.

“In Louisiana, for example, where Black people make up roughly a third of the population, the congressional maps were specifically drawn so that a third of the districts were majority Black. Does that seem fair to you?”

There were rumors swirling about a strike on Iran for weeks, but I’m afraid no one will believe me if I say it wasn’t top of mind last week when I assigned a reading from Cicero that opens, “Illa iniusta bella sunt, quae sunt sine causa suscepta.”

The former Prince Andrew was arrested today because of revelations in the Epstein Files. At no time has his brother, the King Of England, called the files a hoax, covered up or redacted any perpetrator’s names. Because he isn’t one of them. You see, an innocent person wouldn’t do that.

I teach in a flashy, expensive, private school, where a bunch of the kids just walked out of classes to march against ICE. Not all of them, and not for the whole day, but a bunch of them, in single digit temperatures with feet of snow still on the ground. I think the kids are alright.
