multilingualfuturesI've started Somali, Ojibwe, Irish, German, and Spanish. You could argue I'm missing some polish✨ on my Western Armenian. 🥴I feel mostly frustration about Somali and Ojibwe because I didn't retain most of what I did learn and I never got far enough to feel like I "cracked the code" in the sense of feeling like I could keep learning on my own. 😕German and Spanish, I know if I just simply exposed myself more and made more of an effort, I could get much better. I feel a little embarrassed at the "laziness" of... what? Working 4 jobs simultaneously, building 6 university & community programs, founding a company, teaching multiple languages, learning others, fostering multiple teens, moving countries x5, and creating a groundbreaking framework for meeting a global need...instead of buckling down...or something? 😰Western Armenian, I feel sad. I would have liked to have lived forever on the outskirts of Beirսէ at the heart of the diaspora, but alas, that opportunity crumbled... but I would like to get good at it.✌️And Irish...Irish touches something painful.

Mixter Kit O'ConnellFrom my first story in Teen Vogue: Thanks to Texas’s version of Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay" bill, teachers at some public schools are under pressure to deadname their students. Under <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Texas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Texas</a> Senate Bill 12 (SB 12), which was signed into law this summer, some schools are forcing transgender, nonbinary, or gender nonconforming students to go by their legal names, rather than by their correct chosen names.“It’s been really degrading because it’s so targeted,” said James, a transmasculine high school senior in San Antonio’s North East Independent School District (NEISD). “This can’t be interpreted…as anything else but an attack directly on trans kids.” (Teen Vogue is using pseudonyms for many of the students, teachers, and others interviewed for this article to protect them from possible harassment and/or retaliation for speaking with the press.)James and other trans students in his school are struggling with the district's implementation of the law. An email from his high school’s principal sent home to families just before the first day of classes read, “We cannot accommodate requests from students or parents for names that suggest a different biological sex.”Read more: <a href="https://www.teenvogue.com/story/texas-schools-forced-to-deadname-trans-students" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.teenvogue.com/story/texas-schools-forced-to-deadname-trans-students</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SanAntonio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SanAntonio</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#politics</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/trans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#trans</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Transgender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Transgender</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LGBTQ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LGBTQ</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LGBTQIA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LGBTQIA</a>+ <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#education</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/students" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#students</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/news" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#news</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#USpol</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DEI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DEI</a>

DrWebLetters from An American – September 17, 2025 (Wednesday) – Heather Cox Richardson<a href="https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Letters from an American</a>, September 17, 2025 (Wednesday)By <a href="https://substack.com/@hrichardson" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Heather Cox Richardson</a>, Sep 17, 2025This evening, John Koblin, Michael M. Grynbaum, and Brooks Barnes of the New York Times reported that ABC was pulling the television show of comedian Jimmy Kimmel off the air.The suspension is allegedly over his comments Monday about the murder of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk, although Chris Hayes of All In pointed out that after CBS pulled Stephen Colbert, another political comedian, off the air in July, President Donald Trump told reporters that comedians Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel would be “next. They’re going to be going. I hear they’re going to be going.”Kimmel has one of the top late-night television shows, attracting younger viewers in the 18-49 year old demographic. He delivers monologues that skewer President Donald J. Trump and the administration. His YouTube channel, which replays his show, has more than twenty million subscribers.During his monologue on Monday’s show, Kimmel said: “We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, and doing everything they can to score political points from it. In between the finger-pointing, there was grieving. On Friday, the White House flew the flags at half staff which got some criticism but on a human level you can see how hard the president is taking this.”Kimmel then played a clip of Trump’s response to a reporter who asked how the president was holding up after Kirk’s death. Trump answered: “I think very good. And by the way right there you see all the trucks, they just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House which is something they’ve been trying to get as you know for about for 150 years and it’s gonna be a beauty.”On the podcast of right-wing influencer Benny Johnson on Wednesday, chair of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Brendan Carr said that Kimmel’s words were part of a “concerted effort to try to lie to the American people” and that the FCC was “going to have remedies that we can look at.” “Frankly, when you see stuff like this,” he said, “I mean look, we can do this the easy way or the hard way. These companies can find ways to change conduct and take action, frankly, on Kimmel, or there’s going to be additional work for the FCC ahead.”Carr explained: “There’s actions we can take on licensed broadcasters. And frankly, I think that it’s really sort of past time that a lot of these licensed broadcasters themselves push back on Comcast and Disney and say…’We’re not gonna run Kimmel anymore…because we licensed broadcasters are running the possibility of fines or license revocation from the FCC.'”The largest operator of ABC affiliates, Nexstar—which needs FCC approval for a $6.2 billion merger—said it would stop airing Kimmel’s show from its stations. Then ABC suspended Kimmel’s show.Benny Johnson, the podcaster on whose show Carr threatened Kimmel, was one of the influencers Russian state media funded to spread propaganda before the 2024 election. After Kimmel’s suspension, Johnson posted on social media: “We did it for you, Charlie.

Bich Nguyen :verified:"NPR spoke to mental health experts who say the op-ed is misleading about school-based mental health screenings and therapy.

DrWebPrompt 2025: What to make of political violence today – The Washington Post<a href="https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox/WhctKLbmmDtTpTqPKSCkQlgSswTmspgQTpXsXwwmmZgTRVkFJTBKRBqpSzFTngFBJLjrzZv" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"></a>(Chiqui Esteban / The Washington Post; iStock)The Washington Post Newsletter Asking the big questions about Washington and beyond.ABy Megan McArdle, ColumnistLast week’s fatal shooting of conservative media personality Charlie Kirk has sparked conversations about the escalation of partisan disagreement into political violence. The podcaster’s slaying follows a trend of targeted attacks on political figures in recent years, including the killing of a Minnesota Democratic lawmaker and her husband, and the attempted assassinations of Donald Trump.What can be done, if anything, to curb political violence? I’m joined by my colleagues Jim Geraghty and Shadi Hamid to discuss.— Megan McArdle, columnist 💬 💬 💬Megan McArdle: Does America have a growing problem with political violence? Or are these rare events that seize national attention and make us believe things are worse than they are?Jim Geraghty: Oh, I think it’s growing. The U.S. Capitol Police reported that threats against members of Congress have generally increased in the last five years. I doubt that there’s been a major political columnist, TV personality or activist who hasn’t gotten a death threat at some point.Megan: Sure, but I got death threats 10 and 15 years ago, too. That’s not new. What’s new is the feeling — present on both sides — that things are spiraling out of control.Shadi Hamid: Yes, we have a problem with political violence, but it’s not because we have a lot of it, at least not yet. It’s because of the perception that things are getting worse — and our inability to react calmly, as evidenced by the Trump administration’s aggressive, and quite frankly vengeful, response. Trump, JD Vance and other Republican leaders are calling for vengeance against the entire left, including nonprofit organizations and donors they see as contributing to a climate of violence. But words aren’t violence. Violence is violence. We need to remember that, but apparently that’s easier said than done.Jim: I’m sure Trump — himself the target of two assassination attempts — and Vance are taking the killing of Kirk particularly hard. But when you’re a national leader, you’ve got a responsibility to be one of those cooler heads, not lash out at half the country. Advertisement AdvertisementMegan: That’s a good point, Jim. Every time one of these events happens, the political incentive is to mine it for partisan advantage by suggesting that this is somehow emblematic of the other half of the country rather than the act of a violent fringe. We’ve seen that on the left, which often blames right-wing extremism or hateful rhetoric for the actions of deranged loners — and that’s what the White House is doing too, with Trumpian fervor.Jim: Yup. Just about every Democratic lawmaker has said the right things after the assassination. Plenty of left-of-center folks I know were shocked and horrified. And yet at the same time, we’ve seen leftists posting the equivalent of touchdown dances celebrating Kirk’s death.Shadi: I wasn’t alive in the 1960s and ’70s, so it’s hard for me to imagine what the mood was, but political assassinations, domestic terrorism attacks and bombings were much more common then. The question is whether we’re entering into a new period, something similar to Italy’s “Years of Lead.” This isn’t unprecedented in Western democracies.Jim: It’s strange how the violence of the ’60s and ’70s is little remembered today. Lots of bombings all over the country, but thankfully fatalities were rare. I feel like the right-wing militia rage of the 1990s — climaxing in Oklahoma City — looms much larger in our perception.Megan: So why are things spiraling like this?Shadi: We might be seeing a rise of the lone political assassin, but because these are disturbed individuals who aren’t a part of any organized movement, there aren’t obvious solutions. If it were a domestic terrorist group such as the Weather Underground, you could target their leaders and activists. Instead, the Trump administration is trying to vilify the left as a whole.Jim: My theory is that for a certain segment of young men, normal life is boring. Drudgery, delayed gratification, no excitement …Megan: Isn’t that what “Call of Duty” is supposed to be for?Jim: Pretending to be a revolutionary who will change the course of history through an assassination gives these guys a thrill — a sense of consequence and purpose.Shadi: My worry is that because Democrats are so feckless as an opposition party, more disgruntled young men (and women) will give up on the political process. When people give up on legitimate politics, they’re more likely to resort to extralegal means to express their grievances.Jim: That’s right. Ten or 11 consecutive “the most important election of our lifetime”s has convinced some people that the other side of the aisle wants to bring about the apocalypse.Megan: 💯. It’s also convinced a lot of people they need to bring about a preemptive apocalypse for the other side — it’s much more thrilling to imagine you’re in the French Resistance or standing with the Minutemen at Concord. Are we LARPing our way into a civil war?Shadi: I don’t think a civil war is likely, although I think a constant hum of low-level political violence is possible.Megan: So how do we get the enraged minority to retreat from the precipice?Shadi: The reasonable majority has to assert itself and say “enough.” But that reasonable majority also needs bold leaders to say so. Where are those leaders?Jim: I’m hoping those in the enraged minority have people who care about them. Concerned friends or family who are willing to listen but say: “Dude, this is crazy talk. You’re not making the world a better place by shooting somebody because you hate what they believe in.”Megan: Right. Part of the problem is that everyone wants to police the other side, and no one wants to police their own.Jim: I have to admit, I’m finding the calls for “we need to have a respectful, civil dialogue” not quite satisfying for this moment. Because even if you didn’t agree with anything Kirk said, he went onto college campuses and made his points in an amiable way. He did what he was supposed to do. And now his wife is a widow and his kids don’t have a dad anymore.Megan: Final thoughts?Shadi: Cooler heads probably won’t prevail, at least not right away. But they might in due time. That part is up to us: individual Americans who decide to act, organize and participate in a constructive way in our own communities.Jim: There are uncomfortable questions for those on the left about why this punk thought he was “helping” by killing Kirk — just as there’s uncomfortable questions for MAGA about why, say, Cesar Sayoc thought he was “helping” by mailing pipe bombs.Editor’s Note: Read the rest of the story, at the below link.Continue/Read Original Article: <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/interactive/2025/charlie-kirk-killing-political-violence-rise/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/interactive/2025/charlie-kirk-killing-political-violence-rise/</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/2025/" target="_blank">#2025</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/america/" target="_blank">#America</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/donald-trump/" target="_blank">#DonaldTrump</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/education/" target="_blank">#Education</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/health/" target="_blank">#Health</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/history/" target="_blank">#History</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/libraries/" target="_blank">#Libraries</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/library-of-congress/" target="_blank">#LibraryOfCongress</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/newsletter/" target="_blank">#Newsletter</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/opinion/" target="_blank">#Opinion</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/politics/" target="_blank">#Politics</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/prompt-2025/" target="_blank">#Prompt2025</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/resistance/" target="_blank">#Resistance</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/science/" target="_blank">#Science</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/the-washington-post/" target="_blank">#TheWashingtonPost</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/trump/" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/trump-administration/" target="_blank">#TrumpAdministration</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/united-states/" target="_blank">#UnitedStates</a>
