Russia is arresting teachers and students for speaking up (murmuring up?) about the war in Ukraine. Students in one school snitched on their English teacher and got her arrested. She faces 15 years in prison after her students sneakily taped her and gave the tape to police. Not so different from an Arizona law allowing parents to sue teachers for “usurping” parents’ right

It’s the summer of 2024. The Democratic National Convention is in Chicago. President Joe Biden, after vowing to seek a second term, dropped his re-election plans because voters turned on him in droves. And in his place, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker is about to deliver his acceptance speech as his party’s nominee for president. Far-fetched?

Brandon Wolf is sick of people asking him what needs to change when it comes to gun control in America. “I’m sort of done with the ‘what would you like to see done?’ question,” he tells The Independent. “We already know what needs to be done. We get stuck in a loop of people asking
