Hello Blue Sky. Looking forward to a good year of #UVA sports by reposting our 2019 championship photo. So happy I was there for this celebration.

A picture worth 1,000 votes? The photos of a demolished White House wing and landscape could be breaking through in ways other things haven’t. An iconic part of U.S. history razed to build a ballroom for the hugely rich? Nothing could be more attention-getting or less subtle, in words or visuals.
My wife’s (in some cases three-time) trump voting relatives have started mentioning the ballroom to me, negatively; anecdata but I’d like to see some high quality polling. I think it’s a mistake by certain elite elected Dems to think this story isn’t breaking thru
You may not have food or healthcare for your children, but did you know that the White House will now have a classy dance floor for nepotistic pedophiles

A fire that won't stop. The landscape of a horror film. A legendary demon. Spooky isn't just a seasonal fad at these U.S. locations.

How has teaching about 9/11 changed since 2001? We asked educators.
Once a shared experience, the day has slipped into history for students, and even teachers, who weren't yet born when the attacks happened.

The behind-the-back signal led to at least one arrest. It's part of a social media campaign to empower victims and bystanders.
