Today would have marked 52 years of Roe as the law of the land. But Donald Trump packed the Supreme Court with anti-abortion extremists to get it overturned.
This week, he cut off access to reproductiverights.gov.
We must keep fighting for womenβs rights.

the reason to explain that elon musk gave a nazi salute isnβt because it will win votes. the reason to do it is because elon musk gave a nazi salute at a presidential inauguration and that should be in the public record

I do believe that TikTok is a useful platform, but a very unimportant reason that I want it to live on is seeing Gen Z discover and make fun of artists that us Millennials inexplicably made popular in the 2010s. See: the Trey Songz discourse.

Great new tool from @propublica.org. In a shock to no one, Iowa's public schools are 73.4% white and private schools are 82.6% white. I'll be curious to see how these data change once they reflect Iowa's private school voucher program going into effect.

A cool use of AI to help short-staffed newsrooms pick up on stories and sources. I'm curious about timeliness and thoroughness, though. I used to cover education. School boards are not always the best at quickly uploading meeting minutes, and many are not detailed.

A sweet golden retriever lies on her ownerβs chest, staring up lovingly
A very sleepy dog sleeps next to the front door, totally unbothered
The puppy curls up on one of her THREE beds, annoyed that you have awoken her from her day of napping
The golden retriever needs more than one day to recover, thus throwing herself upon her owner in order to draw out the morning cuddles
If she had jeans to unbutton after Thanksgiving dinner, she would have.

I wonder if this particular Oregon law is still in place (or enforced): When I was reporting there, I was allowed to sit in on closed meetings. I couldn't report what was said, but those discussions provided valuable context that informed my reporting outside the meeting.

Open meetings and records are so important, especially as local news is eroded further and further. Residents deserve to have a light shone on their local governments.

Interesting story. My major prof and I conducted a study on news coverage of women's political firsts after the 19th was ratified. Media's gendered stereotypes of women politicians persist despite women's advancements in the political arena. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
