This is a poll they should do: How many Americans would rather see regime change in the United States versus Iran.

"What is clear is that Kansas Republicans have weaponized the government to target a tiny subset of an already small portion of the population to score political points and institutionalize cruelty."

The Taliban Targeted Them. FIFA Saved Them. Houston Welcomed Them. Then They Were Left Behind. In 2021, a group of Afghan women soccer players were rescued from their home country, by FIFA, and promised new lives in Houston. They’ve been on their own since.

Tough story on Afghan women footballers in exile:

"officials from FIFA and the U.S. Soccer Federation delivered unwelcome news: Because of the Trump administration’s crackdown...they’d decided not to include American players on the international squad..."

Idaho considers an 'apocalyptic' choice for disabled people and families Difficult budget decisions in a number of states are threatening vital programs for disabled people at home and caregivers in the workforce.

Last month, Idaho Gov. Brad Little released a budget plan that would potentially dissolve the state’s home care services. The possibility has people with disabilities and their families scrambling.

Even MAGA Republicans Hate Plans to Put a Border Wall in Big Bend Virtually no one, it seems, thinks a physical barrier in the region is a good idea. The Trump administration is rushing to build one anyway.

After my ICE arrest, I learned one crucial way to respond to trauma. We can all take part | RΓΌmeysa Γ–ztΓΌrk I was detained for co-writing a op-ed about Gaza as a student at Tufts. My experience has only made me feel more connected to others facing oppression

Very clear writing on trauma, and also this: "Until then, I had not known that governments read school newspapers."

Donald Trump canceled Direct File after giant tax prep companies spent millions lobbying.

Why? Because Direct File let you file your taxes for free.

So today, I’m introducing a bill to make Direct File the law of the land. And 160 members of Congress are joining me.

Nurul Amin Shah Alam, Blind Rohingya refugee dumped by CBP, dies in cold "They just left him."

They killed him.

It takes a lot to infuriate me and break my heart only because you have to be able to tolerate a lot when covering Trump and fascism and try your best to stay centered and hopeful.

This story I can't let go.

They chose to let him just die.
