A HS student to their TX school board, which is banning books:
“I’m not going to sit here and talk about the slippery slope that book banning leads to because I learned from a book, that I checked out from my school’s library, that I don’t need to resort to logical fallacy to make a point. I’m simply going to say that no government – and public school is an extension of government – has ever banned books, and banned information from its public, and been remembered in history as the good guys.”
In a field dominated by men, Chien-Shiung Wu became one of the most influential nuclear physicists of the 20th century.
Her research tested the fundamental laws of nuclear & quantum physics. She was the first Chinese-American elected to the National Academy of Sciences & the first female president of the American Physical Society.
Wu was awarded the National Medal of Science in 1975 & the Wolf Prize in Physics in 1978. She passed away in 1997.

On a five month sentence, he'll serve approximately 100 days.
As a public defender in Manhattan, I represented a man who was sentenced to 3-6 years (and will serve 1500+ days) for stealing a jacket.
Love, love, love Katie Porter. Have watched her in action and she makes them squirm, she doesn't back off, she can't be bought, and that is the kind of Senator we need.

The U.S. House adopted rules for the 118th Congress, though several of the concessions Speaker Kevin McCarthy made with more conservative members of the Republican Party to secure the gavel weren’t included in the document, or publicly circulated ahead of the vote.
Today, for the first time in American history, a major political party will have no white men in its top leadership positions in the House.
Leader: Hakeem Jeffries (NY-8)
Whip: Katherine Clark (MA-5)
Chair: Pete Aguilar (CA-33)
I know exactly who needs to hear this, so:
Hating LGBTQ+ people isnt bold or edgy or alt-anything. It’s one of the oldest hatreds out there, & almost every evil regime sharpens its claws on us
Precisely *because* we truly harm no one but make some deeply uncomfortable. Thus: an easy target enough will overlook, justify, or downplay.
