Part II of The Bold Tradition of American Resistance follows the fire—from labor and civil rights to the women of the Jane Collective—and calls us to carry it forward.

After 737 days in captivity, Ariel & David Cunio are finally home.
The Argentinian-Israeli brothers were abducted from Kibbutz Nir Oz on Oct. 7, 2023—the same day Ariel texted he felt like he was in a horror movie.
Nir Oz was nearly destroyed that day.
Today, two sons are home & a family rejoices.

The Republican party of "family values" is at it again😡

"Multiple sources also questioned the legality of the cuts to OSERS. Federal law requires that there be an Office of Special Education Programs"

"[An employee] wondered: "Who will families go to when there's nobody left?"

Heartless bastards.

Amid shutdown, Trump administration guts department overseeing special education
