Super proud of @ettarose.bsky.social and the radical optimism here. β€œLet us be righteous in our time so that in future generations they will look back and say that we were not righteous. That our righteousness will look crude and offensive because humanity has moved forward.”

My 8th grade social studies teacher was a battle ax. Perfect spelling of every state and Capitol or you stay in 8th grade forever. We visited the capital of IL and there was a copy of the Gettysburg Address on the wall and I asked what the big deal was. And she read it aloud. Life changing.

"We appreciate Augusta Health’s courage and transparency in being clear about the cause of these closures: reckless cuts forced through by our Republican colleagues. We warned that their partisan tax bill would lead to shuttered clinics, lost jobs, and reduced access to critical health care services, especially in rural communities. Sadly, this is exactly what we are now seeing – and no amount of massive tax breaks to the ultra-wealthy can justify the damage to Virginia families."

Williams: Youngkin’s OK with detaining a 19-year-old whose family stood up for America. Are you? Yes, ICE agents have quotas to meet. No, there aren't nearly as many bloodthirsty migrant criminals roaming our streets as you've been led to believe, which is why agents have been raiding workplaces,...

Today should have been Arman Momand’s first day back at school.

Instead, he’s detained at the Farmville Detention Center by ICE and faces deportation back to the Taliban-led country his family had to flee after his father assisted the U.S. military in Afghanistan.

Attended a four hour safety training today that included active shooter scenarios acted out (that I opted out of). I cannot begin to explain the level of exhaustion of educators when it comes to this.

A statement by 40 Jewish faculty and staff on antisemitism and DEI at U.Va. As scholars and teachers, we know that dissent and debate strengthen our intellectual commitments and moral judgments rather than threaten them. We reject any attempt to deny these basic truths.

I’m a nurse in primary care, we get requests to order durable medical equipment for patients from these calls. Then we get the patient in for an appointment so we can asses and order. Then the insurance co. (who pays the nurse who requested the equipment!) denies the claim for the equipment.

This is also a 1st Amendment issue. Jewish law REQUIRES abortion in the case of a life-threatening pregnancy.

Forcing American Jews to live (and die) by someone else’s religious precepts violates the Establishment Clause.
