I’m really glad I wrote this. I’m really humbled by the response it’s gotten. Like I’ve stated, talking about your pain brings healing. Writing this has not removed my fear but it has eased my anxiety. I can breathe now that my pain has been expressed. Check it out if you can.

Deaths are higher in emergency rooms of hospitals owned by private equity firms, per Harvard University.

They did the math: It’s cheaper to let someone die than save them with a procedure they can’t afford.

This is what happens when its profits over people.

Greta Thunberg has more courage & moral clarity than any world leader I have ever seen.

Bar none.

Period.

That tiny 22 year old is often accused of being annoying, but what she is, is unyielding to moral ambiguity. If it’s wrong, she says so until someone listens.

She deserves the Nobel Prize

Bad Bunny’s got them hopping mad!

The image shows two X posts. The first, by Alex Cole (@acnewstics
) from 1 day ago, states: "This country eats tacos, drinks tequila, and dances to reggaeton, but god forbid we hear Spanish for 15 minutes at halftime?" The second, by Pop Crave (@PopCrave
) from 1 day ago, states: "Former racecar driver Danica Patrick slams Bad Bunny as the Super Bowl 2026 halftime headliner: 'No songs in English should not be allowed at one of America's highest rated television events of the year... not just for sports.'" The post includes photos of Danica Patrick and Bad Bunny.

It would behoove many white people to learn that the privilege you so enjoy is indeed not the experience of MANY other people.

I was too. I saw her face and heard her name and was like, unfortunately she passed today. I love what Reading Rainbow exposes children to.

My students and I unknowingly watched an episode about her work on Reading Rainbow Friday. I told them that I think she passed that day. They were so intrigued by her words and actions. May she RIP.

I hope you'll take a moment for these beautiful parting words from the incomparable Jane Goodall.

(And she threw in a little salt for the evil ones, too)
