My Historic Home Was Beautiful. It Was Also Slowly Killing My Triplets.
Half of my house’s doors had lead paint, buried underneath a layer of safe paint, but it still exposed the kids to lead dust. My kids’ lead symptoms began before they began crawling, and their doctors think it’s because they were exposed to construction in my neighborhood. It took months to schedule a professional lead test to ascertain all the lead hazards in our house. I’m furious that I didn’t know lead poisoning was something that could happen in 2025, not just pre-1978. In many ways, it mimics ADHD and autismso perfectly that kids with lead poisoning are often misdiagnosed.

No One Knew I Was Trans In College. Then I Joined A Fraternity — And It Taught Me How To Be A Man.
I’d never been surrounded by so many queer people my age, much less laughing at a classic queer film together. I’d made queer friends, but this was my first time setting foot in a queer space. While never officially labeled “the queer fraternity,” its history naturally drew people from diverse backgrounds — including queer and gender-nonconforming students — who became the majority of the community over time. As the only “out” Korean queer person on campus, gossip plagued me.

At one point, Perkins “was teaching four different classes, which meant four different individual things to prepare for.

I Thought Moving My Kids To Germany Would Be Good For Us. I Just Didn't Expect It To Feel Like This.
I’d used a stencil to neatly write his name and the year on the outside of the cone, but the marker bled. The result was that it looked kind of like the graffiti we see every day as we pass remnants of the Berlin Wall. I worried that my ineptitude with life in Germany would mean my kids would be perpetual outsiders, too. I watch German TV and listen to German podcasts to absorb the small cultural things that aren’t taught in textbooks. Advertisement AdvertisementAdvertisement AdvertisementI won’t ever catch up with my kids’ cultural knowledge of Germany, and I still worry that my kids will pay a price for the things I don’t know.

Partisan Government Shutdown Emails Violate Workers' Rights: Lawsuit
LOADING ERROR LOADINGA labor union and public-interest legal groups sued the Trump administration on Friday for inserting partisan language into federal employees’ out-of-office replies during the government shutdown. Workers did not consent to having their replies changed to the new partisan language, which was first reported by NBC News. Many felt they were being used to violate the Hatch Act, which limits political activities by federal employees. ″[The administration has] no legitimate interest in forcing Department employees to recite partisan words that they would not have spoken otherwise,” the lawsuit states. The administration also posted partisan messages on official government websites and took advantage of a national newsletter for veterans to say the shutdown was all Democrats’ fault.

Veteran Senator Shreds Hegseth For Trying To ‘Push Women Out Of The Military’
And, frankly, our military could not do its job of protecting America and keeping us safe without the women who serve in the military,” she said. Joined by Trump while speaking with hundreds of senior U.S. military officials in Quantico, Virginia, last week, Hegseth said it was important that certain combat positions return “to the highest male standard.”AdvertisementSen. Tammy Duckworth and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Getty ImagesHe pointed out that the standard could lead to fewer women serving in combat roles before declaring, “If that means no women qualify for some combat jobs, so be it. AdvertisementElsewhere in his speech, Hegseth also railed against “fat generals and admirals.”“Frankly, it’s tiring to look out at combat formations, or really any formation, and see fat troops,” he said. Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.), a Marine veteran, called Hegseth a “laughing stock” following his speech.

The U.S. Isn’t A Democracy. Can It Become One?
So, what is democracy and why isn’t the U.S. one at the moment? As far as I can tell, there are three basic characteristics that a true democratic system is going to have. Democracy isn’t just a suggestion box. It’s a vision of democracy that also connects that part of the Democratic Party to the Left. One thing I’ve thought a lot about is the extent to which democracy, one of the background ideas of democracy, might be that connective tissue.
