President Trump blasts federal judge, vows to appeal Harvard ruling District Judge Allison Burroughs hasn't issued a ruling yet on Harvard's lawsuit against the Trump administration.

As usual, Chief Justice Roberts will do absolutely nothing about this attack on judicial independence, not even voice mild criticism.

This is what fear looks like.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

A tweet from Bernice King (@BerniceKing) reads, “Now, do the Epstein files.” Below the tweet is a black-and-white photo of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. leaning back in a chair with a serious, slightly exasperated expression on his face. The image conveys a sense of impatience or disbelief.

Dr. Bernice King, the daughter of Dr. Martin Luther King and Coretta Scott King and the CEO of the King Center, posted this after the Trump administration released over 200,000 pages of documents related to her late father.

Stillbirth is a different kind of loss.

You’re not just grieving a child — you’re grieving the future you imagined.

The milestones never come.

There’s no timeline to anchor the pain.

It’s a life unlived, and a version of yourself that disappears with it.
