ProPublica Sues Education Department for Withholding Records About Discrimination in Schools Under Secretary Linda McMahon, the work of the Office for Civil Rights, which aims to protect students from discrimination, is cloaked in secrecy.

We sent 4 records requests to the Education Department β€” the first more than a year ago β€” seeking the status of school investigations, findings of discrimination reversed under Trump and more.

The agency gave no response except to acknowledge it received them.

I know that I sound like a broken record but I think once this society was ok with accepting mass covid deaths just to be able to eat at Applebees then all bets were off.

"They were girls who went to school to learn, with hopes and dreams for their future," Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai said. "Today, their lives were brutally cut short.”

The reason we're here is that tens of millions of people will punch a hole in a wall if they hear someone used food stamps to buy soda but they're fine if the right-wing podcaster turned fbi director uses his taxpayer funded private jet to go party whenever he feels like it bsky.app/profile/thed...

Pope Leo Will Spend July 4 Visiting Migrant Crossing Island Pope Leo has spoken out against the treatment of migrants in the United States several times over the last year.

JD Vance personally invited Pope Leo to the U.S. 250th celebration on the 4th of July. Today the Vatican announced Leo will be spending the day with migrants instead.

Learning recently that this lady has some sort of bloodlust for sea lions has been really funny. Somehow on brand but really funny.

One of the things that personally drives me crazy in the U.S. is how youth sports/athletic activities went from a part of the public good (municipal leagues and fields! rec centers! public parks!) to a privatized, expensive, highly competitive, highly structured pursuit for wealthy kids’ rΓ©sumΓ©s

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.

This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

OLYMPIA β€” State Senators passed legislation Monday to create an income tax on those earning over $1 million a year, the first hurdle in what will likely prove to be a long battle to get the bill over the finish line before the legislative session draws to an end.

Jesse Jackson Jr. also had an under appreciated sense of comedic timing. Watch his fake sermon on SNL.πŸ˜‚

So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.

these two young white guys on IG go to an NYC restaurant each week to try food from a different country. they posted a video bringing together the owners of their first 12 stops & it made me cry bc it was simple & beautiful. just people from all over the world hanging & being pals. how it should be.

This is what ICE does every day. Hunt little kids who are here legally. They get sent to a place called the β€œbaby jail” in Texas. Very little of it ends up on video like this. But it’s routine. And disgusting.

"The Crime of Witness" by Fintan O’Toole in @nyrb-imprints.bsky.social

"The videos that expose the administration’s mendacity about its own use of extreme violence against peaceful dissent are themselves products of the courage to show up [and] see for yourself."

In 1854, after watching the federal government deploy 2000 federal troops and spend $40,000 sending Anthony Burns back into slavery, Boston's Amos Adams Lawrence said β€œwe went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.”

Me: I don't totally understand what I'm watching but I love it.

Them: I don't totally understand what I'm watching so I hate it.

BREAKING: The Epstein survivors are releasing this ad on this Super Bowl Sunday to send the message that they will not β€œmove on” from the largest sex trafficking scandal in the world. #standwithsurvivors

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women β€” and interactions with them β€” through the lens of sex

I actually love Michigan - my family used to go up north every summer. Northern MI is one of the most beautiful places in the entire country. It’s the athletic department in Ann Arbor that I loathe. But I love the town of Ann Arbor!

I still like you, even though you disparage Ohio at every turn. (And to be fair, it’s mostly warranted. I sometimes feel the need to defend my home state, usually only during college football season.)
