57 years ago today, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of students' right to protest the Vietnam War in our landmark case Tinker v. Des Moines.
The law is clear: Students don't hang up their free speech rights at the schoolhouse gate.

Former ICE agent:
On my first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a judicial warrant.
Some can feel the heat from a hot stove and avoid it altogether.
Some need to touch it to be sure.
Some will keep their hand on the stove and get singed before admitting it was hot.
Some would rather burn to death than admit it.
Trump is down to the last group.
More of this, please. The folks in this grassroots group are heroes.
Haven Watch lives by the promise, “No One Walks Alone.” Day or night, they show up. When people are released from ICE detention, volunteers meet them in the cold, disoriented, and exhausted.
Beautiful and devastating all at once.
If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.
The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.”
It’s about control.

Today marks the first day in the 55-year history of PBS and 54-year history of NPR that public media has broadcast to its audiences without federal funding. But even though lots of local outlets are at risk, PBS and NPR are still here, providing fair, accurate news coverage and will not be silenced.

The New Hampshire State Police is investigating the crash that left a total of three people injured, including Giuliani, who was a passenger in one of the vehicles. Police say that just before 10 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 30, 2025, Troopers assigned to the Troop B barracks were investigating a reported domestic violence incident on Interstate 93 southbound in Manchester when a two-vehicle crash occurred across from them on the northbound side of the interstate. As a result of the collision, both vehicles went into the median and were heavily damaged.
Troopers and fire personnel, who were at the scene of the first incident, witnessed the collision and quickly crossed the interstate to render aid. The on-scene investigation determined that a Honda HR-V, driven by Lauren Kemp, 19, of Concord, struck the back of a Ford Bronco, driven by Theodore Goodman, of Michigan. Kemp and Goodman, as well as Giuliani, Goodman's passenger, suffered non-life-threatening injuries and were taken by ambulance to area hospitals for treatment.
The police version of the crash, as relayed by a local Manchester reporter, is unsurprisingly quite different from what Giuliani's spokesman says. The whole thing is even more murky now, however.

Front cover text: "WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN AMERICA HAS A DICTATOR? IT CAN'T HAPPEN HERE A Novel by SINCLAIR LEWIS" Background includes an image of a red fasces with a green olive branch. Back cover text: "'Vulgar, almost illiterate, a public liar easily detected… He was an actor of genius' A vain, outlandish, anti-immigrant, fear-mongering demagogue runs for President of the United States – and wins. Sinclair Lewis's chilling 1935 bestseller is the story of Buzz Windrip, who promises poor, angry voters that he will make America proud and prosperous once more, but takes the country down a far darker path. As the new regime slides into authoritarianism, newspaper editor Doremus Jessop can't believe it will last – but is he right? This cautionary tale of liberal complacency in the face of populist tyranny shows it really can happen here."

The world must be set free.
The most inspiring chapters in our nation's history came when Americans faced down some of our country's darkest demons.
Those moments, like our own, were difficult to live through but also brought the chance to bring out the best in us, with enduring consequences.

There needs to be a spreading hands emoji for posts like this. This is so well said.
I grew up believing that we had learned the lessons of the German poem and Martin Luther King Jr's speeches. We would all speak out if we saw democracy threatened and the rule of law under attack.
I will always speak out against wrong. I will always stand up for democracy. I will not back down.

Oof.
