“…about the 1873 massacre in Colfax, La., where dozens of Black men were murdered by a mob of former Confederates and Ku Klux Klan members.
ChatGPT had deemed it “D.E.I.” Mr. Fox said he agreed. “Because it focuses on exclusively anti-Black violence, which is a race,” he said.”

Happy Friday! Enjoy my piece about how Kristi Noem was disposable to Trump, despite being the saddest booklicker in his Cabinet.
You can destroy your face to please MAGA, ladies, but it doesn't matter. You're still a woman and they don't respect you.

One of the mothers I interviewed for this story was frustrated that she couldn't find many resources to help her navigate these conversations with her 3-year-old son.
So, we also created a guide to taking with your kids about ICE, based on tips from child development experts:

At SOTU, Trump claimed that young men were becoming more religious because of Charlie Kirk. There's no evidence they are, and certainly not because of him. So why say it?

The Trump admin let the ACA tax credits expire, making health insurance costs more than double. Now they want to raise our deductibles, making us pay even MORE for health care.
This is completely out of touch with what we need to survive in this economy.
After the arrests of powerful men across the world, you might be asking why the US has so much trouble holding its leaders accountable for lawbreaking. Since Nixon, all three branches of government have worked hard to ensure they can break the law with impunity www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Appalling: ICE and CBP contracted for $144 million in weaponry and accessories in Trump's first year, per data obtained by Sen Adam Schiff.
For ICE it's a fourfold increase, much of it for military-style weapons. A heavily armed secret police force. 1/

As a historian of Christianity let me tell you that Christians throughout history have absolutely loved persecuting other Christians. There is no period in which this isn’t true
BUT also note that the opposite is also true! There’s no period in history where care for the stranger was absent
love to be looted by our criminal president
