Fairfax County School District buckles amid scandals, furious parents, and budgeting crunch trib.al/xo7DMqe

Fairfax County is one of the richest counties in the U.S., but its public schools are a mess. The number of students in private school has doubled since 2019, but the county still pays more per pupil (for worse outcomes) than Fairfax's $19k (!) avg private school tuition.

This is a must read for all parents, especially parents of Fairfax County Public Schools - @MiaCathell, on how a once nationally renowned beacon of academic excellence has buckled under scandals, budgeting and a school calendar that's not fit for purpose washingtonexaminer.com/news/investiga…

.@semafor profiles the New York Post Runners -- the backbone of the storied newsroom. “In a day and age where AI is taking over,” the @nypost is “still doing basic journalism every day,” @liaeustach says. The runner offers a dynamic, and distinctly analog, example of what a human does best, and what LLMs can’t do at all — knock doors, form a connection, catch a vibe. semafor.com/article/03/29/…

Mia Cathell, from the Washington Examiner, highlights the unprecedented inclusion of Radical Feminist input on this women’s spa case, including Board President of WoLF, Elspeth Cypher. @dcexaminer Thank you! washingtonexaminer.com/news/justice/4…

I just had such an inspiring meeting with a group of inspiring women! We have got to get the story out of the suffering and abuse that women in prison are experiencing because of gender identity that let's men into women's prisons. From Maine to California across the country this is a human rights crisis. Thank you all who are working on this. What women in prison experience is cruel and unusual punishment and a violation of our Constitutional rights and international human rights law. I am grateful to see so many women ready to stand up for our incarcerated sisters. Incarcerated women need help - legal help. Several of the "modern" women's rights groups are trying but we need major $$$ to launch some litigation. @Liberate_women_ @KDansky @KnownHeretic @ichinita310 @WDI_USA @listen2tish @DIAGdemocrats @MiaCathell @BostonGlobe @nytimes @washingtonpost @elonmusk @Oprah @belindagates_ @HillaryClinton @ClintonFdn themainewire.com/2026/03/randal…
