BREAKING: In a unanimous decision, a federal court of appeals has ruled that Louisiana's law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in all public school classrooms is unconstitutional. We’ll keep saying it: Public schools are not Sunday schools.

The idea that Trump adheres to deadlines is absolutely ludicrous. The man promised us a healthcare plan over 450 weeks ago. It's been infrastructure week since I was born. Russia sanctions are supposed to be coming in two weeks.

He moseyed over, dragging a lawn chair behind him. Unfolding it, he settled in with a contented sigh. He pulled a cigarette out of a crumpled pack and lit it, taking a long, slow drag. Exhaling a stream of blue smoke, the eleventh ant muttered under his breath, “Fuck your rules.”

Juneteenth is American history. And in our fight for liberty and justice for all, the end of slavery in the U.S. marked a turning point we should all be proud to celebrate. It's up to all of us to keep learning from the past and working toward a better future.

Florida's censorship campaign is ramping up. Schools in four new counties have started pulling LGBTQ+ books and books that deal with sexual assault, under pressure from the Attorney General, who has claimed they are "patently pornographic." www.tampabay.com/news/educati...

This is, or SHOULD BE, a very big deal. I hope some major outlet (whatever that means anymore - the Guardian?) picks it up and trumpets it.
