60+ years ago Malcolm X wrote a scathing Op-Ed piece in the Egyptian Gazette on Zionism and boy, is it a doozy.

ICYMI — Trump lied that Chicago had “4000” murders, when it’s projected to have 380 this year (way down from last year)

If it’s so bad there why does he have to keep lying about it?

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

I’m sure the New York Times will run an editorial talking about why this is bad for Biden‘s legacy.

La Niña is back. It could mean another dangerously dry winter for Southern California

La Niña has reemerged in the eastern Pacific, a climate pattern that typically drives dry winters across the U.S. Southwest. Last winter's weak La Niña helped push Southern California into drought, and experts say it could be even more dramatic this year.
