Voting rights groups sue Georgia for refusing to release voter purge records Without full access to the records, plaintiffs say they cannot determine whether eligible voters were wrongly removed.

🚨BREAKING: Pro-voting groups sued Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) for refusing to turn over key records related to his office’s sweeping 2025 voter roll purge — a purge that canceled nearly 471,000 registrations, about 6% of the state’s voters. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I've had the WORST time trying to fill my RXs for my health w/PAs after dealing with this for MANY years. Sure there was a snag or 2 but this year I'm up to 7. My time & energy have been devoted to calling my insurance plan, the approval plan and my doctors offices. This is why you haven't seen me.🙏

No one here was supposed to know about her past, and she'd expected her aunt to be her champion, or at least a companion. Neither of these things had happened, leaving Alicia to wonder when—not if—the townspeople and her uncle would turn against her, shocked by her secret.

Even if they need it, I can’t go around shoving money at people & there aren’t many things I can’t do for myself. So I’ll see if Daisy wants to do my laundry & if I can repay everyone for their kindness without making a big splash. Maybe an anonymous donation to the medical fund.

Something cool lay on her brow, and a warm hand touched her cheek. She heard a little moan, then someone said, “You’re safe now. No one’s going to hurt you.”

Safe. Could she be safe at last?

What the F…

Seems important

As she nestled in against him, Tommy’s spirit was soothed by the subtle scent of rose attar. The maelstrom of feelings the week generated came close to overwhelming him. The one thing he hated most was for any creature to be in pain. The days with Brian had tested him to his limit.

Beside a tree
With heart
Stepped in stone
Just standing
Monitoring
Lonely path
A little too
Treacherous
Guardian of
Likely pilgrims
On the Way
Some even
Stopping to
Say hello
As if speaking
To a rock
Was not at all
Not normal

I have one opinion regarding writing which may not be in consensus with most: Most writing courses are completely unnecessary. They are a way for people to make money for themselves or their organization, but they are not necessary for the act of writing.

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.

But contrary to many doomsayers, it isn’t too late to protect the elections.

“Not Ready for Prime Time.” A Federal Tool to Check Voter Citizenship Keeps Making Mistakes. The Department of Homeland Security pushed out the revamped tool while it was still adding data. That led to widespread misidentification, particularly for citizens born outside the U.S.

Missouri officials directed county election administrators to make voters temporarily unable to vote if they were flagged as potential noncitizens by a federal tool.

But in hundreds of cases, the tool's determinations were wrong.
