A MAGA teenager was spurned by a teen girl so he sent pizza to her home to intimidate her. The police ignored it.

Then, he saw she mocked Charlie Kirk so he murdered her and her friend by ramming his truck into them at 70mph while they were riding their bikes.

He's now charged with murder.

Immigrants aren’t the reason Americans struggle to afford healthcare, but this administration would rather spread fear than offer real solutions.

There have been two hosts in the history of Reading Rainbow. The Legend of Literacy, LeVar Burton! And... me, Mychal Threets, a librarian 🥹🤯

I am a reader, a librarian because LeVar Burton and Reading Rainbow made us believe and see we belong in books, we belong everywhere ✨

Smiling Mychal with hands raised wears an outer space shirt in a library. It is a still from an episode of Reading Rainbow.

LeVar Burton smiles with hands behind his head as he lies down on a colorful pile of books. ENEMY PIE book rests on his chest.

watching even a few seconds of the kirk funeral makes it clear a large quantity of this country is ready for full on nazi authoritarianism and we have to really grapple with how much we need to put a stop to this as quickly as possible

Right-wingers are calling for my arrest. You know why? Because they know I’m the only candidate in my race who will actually stand up to ICE and Trump.

And they’re right.

One thing I’ve learned from these documentaries is that you can’t fathom the impact and reality of Katrina and the systemic failure if you don’t prioritize the way poverty and racism shapes the experience of people during disasters. Those people were left for dead, then humiliated and hunted.

Here’s one of the things fascism does: it doesn’t allow resources to exist for the public good. If it cannot monetize them for the profit of those at the top, it will destroy them.

Now:
National Parks
PBS
NPR
Medicaid

Soon:
Libraries
Firefighters
