A 17-year-old valedictorian, Leen Hijaz, used her graduation speech to speak for the voiceless: "Millions suffering in Palestine, Sudan, Congo, Afghanistan. Families torn apart by ICE."
The school administrator cut her mic. Told her: "If you don't stop, you're not graduating." They withheld her diploma for four days.

No country should be allowed to host the World Cup while imposing discriminatory rules on qualified and participating teams.
This ought to be a very basic requirement.
Your United States Congress saw a big jar of this water this week, and declined to help. Same people that cut SNAP and Medicaid.
I just keep thinking about that.
That giant 20,000 acre building over there takes all your fresh water, pollutes the air, raises local temperatures, makes annoying noises all day long, increases your utility bills and provides a whole 14 jobs. That building’s only job is spying on you.
Remember that recent viral tweet that was like "environmentalism is conservative now", and every second headline since then is some variation of "republicans to allow national park to be reduced to smouldering wasteland"
