When GOP-controlled Ohio created school vouchers in 2020, the stated goal was to give low-income children a choice in their education. 4 years later, nearly 90% of participants are NOT low-income, moreover,17% went to high-income. Sound familiar #txlege www.nbc4i.com/news/politic...

I keep forgetting to share it, but here’s my 2024 reading list! This is just books I read on my own, not counting the ones that one of my partners reads to me in the evenings. I don’t do anything fancy with Goodreads or Storygraph or anything, but I do like to remember what I was reading and when.

Rolling up fashionably late to the year-in-review conversations with my reading list from 2024! I don’t do anything fancy with Goodreads or Storygraph or anything (I just have lists in Google Keep), but I do like having a record of what I was reading and when.

Elon Musk has called for Amtrak and the Postal Service to be privatized. Be warned: this is a call to gut essential public services to pad corporate profits. Here are my 5 rules of thumb for when public services should NOT be privatized.

There's been so much publicity about the now-Oscar-winning doc No Other Land being unable to find a U.S. distributor (which is appalling) that some people may not realize it's currently on 100 screens here. In Manhattan you can see it at Film Forum; in Brooklyn it's at Alamo Drafthouse.

GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office. ZELENSKYY: I will wear a costume after this war will finish. Maybe something like yours. Maybe something better.
