A Fifth of American Adults Struggle to Read. Why Are We Failing to Teach Them?
(Published Dec. 2022)
This sums up exactly the way I’ve been feeling since last Tuesday. Walking with this message in mind
“I’m gonna be Iron…like a lion…in Zion…”

Thank you, Ms. Colvin for your role in sparking the fire for the struggle. Rest well.
I can't say this loudly enough: THEY ARE TRYING TO NORMALIZE THE KILLING OF CIVILIANS FOR PARTICIPATING IN FIRST AMENDMENT PROTECTED PROTEST ACTIVITIES.
A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.
"If that language offends you … Come on. We all heard it before," the singer said.
A sign has been made saying “IT WAS” and hundreds of people are standing in the form the word “MURDER” There is an upside down distress US flag followed by the words, ICE OUT
“IT WAS MURDER”
Several hundred people have formed a human banner at San Francisco’s Ocean Beach today (Sat Jan 10, 2026)

Mayor Jacob Frey: "They are already trying to spin this as an action of self defense. Having seen the video myself, I want to tell everybody directly that is bullshit."

I am sick for Lamar Jackson for real
My boy Raheem got the ax from the Falcons. I got hope he’ll get another gig down the line, I feel he’s a good coach in need of a thorough organization up and down
In a loss like that, every missed opportunity just runs together
I think Peyton’s got him…it would be like that scene from that Shaw Brothers flick “A Slice of Death”
We gotta deal with Aaron Rodgers and the semi-mystic bro-ism for another game…and Pat McAfee on 12 for another week.
💀💀💀💀
Point taken…but this one in particular just seems extra foul losing like that after that drive
Damn. Baltimore loses on a wide right kick at the end.
Mike Tomlin and the Steelers move on to the playoffs.
That was a crazy af game to watch, not gonna lie. Feel bad for Lamar Jackson and the Ravens though.
How Zohran Mamdani will govern New York is something of a mystery. But he might find himself more threatened by his left flank than the city's millionaires, Michael Powell reports.
“Don’t mumble young man!”
Nora: “She’s deaf.” Nick: “You’re telling me.”
Nick: How are you?”
Aunt Hattie:” What did he say?”
