Fighting racism with the hacker spirit: a coloring book entitled "Some of my best friends are colored."

"Real" school lockdowns are far more common than shootings in schools. They are done as a "precaution" when it appears there is some reason why a shooting might (but almost certainly won't) occur soon.

This does psychological harm to lots of children. Surely hundreds of times as many, or thousands of times, as the number who witness a shooting. The harm is less than being hit by a bullet, but it is not trivial.

Do these lockdowns cause more harm than they prevent? I don't know enough to suggest an answer, but the question is important.

The US government gave over 1400 private organizations access to a list of names of people labeled as "terrorist suspects" — and lied about this for years.

The US government places names on such lists arbitrarily, and people can only guess (based on experiences of harassment) that they might be on such a list.

The labor history of West Virginia suggests that progressive candidates can win there, if we can defeat cheating plutocratists.

US citizens: call on your congresscritter to reduce the military budget.
