The utter madness of military violence. Consider how we could use all resources given to war/genocide + dedicate them to education, health, + care. We must transform how we educate and care for our young, how we treat our elders, and how we treat our earth and indigenous peoples.

Teams trailing by 9+ points in the final three minutes of an NBA Finals game are 1-182 since 1971.

That one win was the Pacers' thrilling comeback last night.

This RΓΌmeysa Γ–ztΓΌrk hearing is radicalizing.

I've been a court reporter for many years, and I've never covered anything like this: A student deeply committed to her studies, imprisoned solely over writing an op-ed, being made to testify under oath for her own freedom.

Dark, dark stuff.

When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before.
