Residents of the Clearwater School District are petitioning for the acceptance of unnatural hair colors in the high school branch. Currently, the Student Dress Code in the handbook states: “Hair is to be worn neat and clean, and not be outrageous in nature in terms of hair color and/or haircut.” Parents, teachers, and role models encourage young adults to express themselves and not be afraid of whom they are. However, this rule contradicts what they appoint, as students are unable to fully express their individuality. Many of the surrounding schools currently embrace individual expression by allowing students the choice of dyeing their hair without restrictions to color. Lifting this rule will promote individualism, school attendance, unity, and an increase in school spirit. The acceptance of unnatural hair colors will also help decrease student suspension and negative attitudes toward disciplinary figures. Mother Theresa once said, “I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.” With this in mind, if we stand together the masses will be heard.

The Junipero Serra image is equivalent to what an image of Adolf Hitler would be for Jewish people. When they dehumanize us as a people and create the false narrative of inferiority they can continue to wage war on our people and disregard our rights because they've painted this picture of us being subhuman, literally.

AJAM was the highest quality, most objective journalism in the USA for three years, winning multiple awards and high praise in the industry. However, their business model was unsustainable due to multiple factors. Many of these factors could be mitigated or eliminated if properly addressed. America needs a network like this now more than ever before.

I attended my first community organizing meeting for the 50th Anniversary of Summer of Love three years ago -- a grassroots and volunteer led effort to come together in celebration of a cultural shift towards peace, love and understanding. City commons are for the people, and to refuse us a permit because we are not a large professional event corporation is wrongful.

This Florida Senate Bill, SB 188, would strip local governments throughout the State of Florida of self governing vacation rentals. This would devastate small communities due to " investor homes" that seek to have unregulated number of people, and allow for short term rentals for any length of stay in existing residential neighborhoods.

We asking you to sign this petition to try to stop Trump from destroys this country. We have a Constitution to protect us from a man like this. Will you please sign. Trump has show that he is a dictator by breaking treaties and firing people that disagree with him.

"The Apprentice" is suffering without Donald Trump. Trump needs to be back where he belongs.

As President Trump noted "Frederick Douglass is an example of somebody who’s done an amazing job and is getting recognized more and more." I support President Trump's statement and I think that Americans should unite around this cause. President Trump has at least four years to accomplish it and I hope he'll follow through with his support.

Republicans stonewalled Obama's Supreme Court nominee in order to usurp political power, an action that defied the democratic will of the people and signaled a deliberate move toward tyranny. This action should not be rewarded. Democratic legislators must fight ALL Republican Supreme Court nominees . Democratic compromise on this issue will set a dangerous precedent. Just say NO!

Republican Assemblymembers Nicole Malliotakis (District 64, Staten Island and Brooklyn) and Rob Castorina (District 62, Staten Island) recently filed a lawsuit against the City of New York to prevent them from protecting information collected by the city as part of its municipal ID program IDNYC. The new IDs, which nearly 1 million New Yorkers have applied for, is particularly important to undocumented immigrants, seniors, the formerly incarcerated, members of the LGBTQ community, and others who lack the benefits provided by conventional identification cards including opening bank accounts, using libraries, and picking up their children from school. IDNYC had built into it a provision that the data gathered as part of the application process would be destroyed after a period in order to protect undocumented cardholders from deportation. The lawsuit brought by Malliotakis and Castorina is currently risking the exposure of nearly a million people to this anti-immigration administration by preventing the destruction of this data. The IDNYC program was designed to provide vulnerable New Yorkers with the same opportunities as all New Yorkers. It must not be used as a weapon against them. Malliotakis and Castorina were elected to serve their constituents, not the draconian policies of the Trump administration. We, the undersigned, call on Malliotakis and Castorina to immediately drop the lawsuit. Protect immigrant rights. Protect New Yorkers. Protect our neighbors.
