Olivia Nuzzi wrote an entire story based on unnamed sources about Biden's decline, reinvigorating calls for him to leave the race -- and the whole time, she was working on RFK Jr.'s behalf, according to her ex-fiance. newrepublic.com/article/2035...

The systematic demolition of communities in the West Bank by Israeli settlers and forces is a travesty.
In Umm Al-Khair, erasure seems only a matter of time

There is much I agree with here about what we need to do to improve student learning, especially regarding backing off tech and dealing with grade inflation.
I do object to calling for a "reckoning," as this language and notion perpetuates a blame game that serves anti-public ed forces.
