a panel of harvard professors concluded that lorgia garc a pe a, a beloved latinx-studies professor, was a victim of discrimination. when they strongly recommended that her case be reviewed, harvard refused.

simone biles won nationals w/broken toes in both feet, worlds w/a kidney stone, and has carried the burden of being a face of sexual assault survivors as a national institution failed to support them half of y'all yelling about "toughness" can't handle wearing a mask in wegman's

i am not supposed to even ask if my unc students are vaccinated to protect their sacred right to privacy but unc can ask me to teach 100 of them indoors for three hours a week, then go home to my unvaccinated children.

ret. lt. gen. russel honor -- who conducted a security review following the january 6 insurrection -- says he believes the trump white house was "complicit in the planning" and bears ultimate responsibility.

one former us elite gymnast i talked to said that if it was someone other than simone biles who had made that same error, they would have certainly blown a knee, at minimum. another said if it had happened to her instead of simone, i probably would have ended up paralyzed.

what if we could acknowledge that the vault need not have been back- or neck-breaking for simone to decide she couldn t go on? what if we granted that extremes need not be pre-requisites for setting limits or for extending grace.
