A Battle with My Blood When I was diagnosed with leukemia, my first thought was that this couldn’t be happening to me, to my family.

In this tough and moving essay, Caroline Kennedy's 35-year-old daughter Tatiana Schlossberg reveals that she is terminally ill with leukemia. She has some choice words about how her cousin Bobby has made the limited time she has left worse. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

As I spent more and more of my life under the care of doctors, nurses, and researchers striving to improve the lives of others, I watched as Bobby cut nearly a half billion dollars for research into mRNA vaccines, technology that could be used against certain cancers; slashed billions in funding from the National Institutes of Health, the world's largest sponsor of medical research; and threatened to oust the panel of medical experts charged with recommending preventive cancer screenings. Hundreds of N.I.H. grants and clinical trials were cancelled, affecting thousands of patients. I worried about funding for leukemia and bone-marrow research at Memorial Sloan Kettering.

Just an absolutely gutting essay by Tatiana Schlossberg, a writer, mother of two young children, and cousin of RFK Jr who is dying of leukemia.

The Barely Legal Type: Purity Culture, Rape Culture, and America’s Lose-Lose Proposition for Girls The very parts of American culture that claim to promote teen abstinence and sexual purity operate on a parallel logic to the rape culture that enables the darkest misogynistic violence against women.

Megyn Kelly claimed Epstein was into β€œthe barely legal type,” referring to 15 year-olds.

So I wrote about how her comments highlight the ways both purity culture and rape culture sexualize young girls and make male desire their responsibility.

For what it’s worth, as a commander and officer it was my duty, moral obligation, and legal requirement to first question and then to not obey any illegal order I was given.

The same is true for everyone who swear their oath.

Hope that clears things up.

Here is a report from the NJ Office of the Corrections Ombudsperson detailing a facility where faulty heating equipment meant that indoor temperatures dropped as low as 55 degrees in the spring (For context: "Restorative Housing Unit" is the Orwellian term NJDOC uses for solitary confinement)

I guess one way to distract people from your friendship with a sex criminal is to claim that you are friends with a political murderer.

Trump didn’t need a discharge petition to release the MLK Jr., JFK, or Earhart files.

So why are the Epstein files the one set he refuses to touch?

CIA concludes Saudi crown prince ordered Jamal Khashoggi’s assassination Audio recordings, intercepted phone calls and other intelligence link Mohammed bin Salman to killing that Saudis say was conducted by rogue elements.

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.

Opinion | Jamal Khashoggi: What the Arab world needs most is free expression The Arab world needs a modern version of the old transnational media so citizens can be informed about global events.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

Tell Students the Truth About American History We owe it to Americans of all ages to be honest about the country’s past, including its contradictions.

I spent October traveling to schools throughout the South talking to students about American history. What I found were young people who understand we can tell a story that includes both the positive and the negative. As one 8th grader in Memphis said, β€œDoesn’t seem that hard, just say both things.”

The Founders were so concerned about bribery that the Constitution forbids it three separate times. Two emoluments clauses ban officialsβ€”unambiguously including the presidentβ€”from accepting things of value, plus bribery is the only named impeachable offense besides treason.

Unprecedentedly corrupt.

Again it’s not good that the most prominent leaders of the party keep insisting it’s a trap to talk about β€œidentity” when the Trump administration is pushing white supremacy.

A Different Kind of Patriotism Today, more than ever, America needs its veterans to remember that their oaths to the Constitution do not expire.

β€œOur oaths did not expire simply because we took off the uniform.”

Former Navy pilot Ken Harbaugh shares a powerful Veterans Day message about service, sacrifice, and what real patriotism means β€” inspired by Marine Master Sgt. Mike β€œTop” Washington.

Who We Choose to Be: A Reflection on the Character of Veterans A shared culture of service.

"That is my quiet lesson of Veterans Day. Our country endures because of what we believeβ€”and how we act when belief demands sacrifice in serving each other. Veterans remind me that a republic survives only when its citizens choose responsibility over indifference."
