If you’re stunned that Trump is very likely to be the GOP nominee in 2024, think of how you’re going to feel when he’s the GOP nominee in 2028.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but every university should make it a habit to open up all academic buildings on the Sunday before the first day of class. There are literally hundreds of kids looking for classrooms before tomorrow's rush.

These are my teammates. We are Olympic champions. Three of us tried to give birth. Two of us experienced near-death complications. One of us died. We have to, and we will do more. Tori’s death cannot and will not be in vain. time.com/6287392/tori-bowie-…

ONCE AND FOR ALL: Burning a flag you own is protected expression. That includes American flags & rainbow flags. You cannot, however, break into an elementary school, steal their property, and burn it. That is a crime. This should not be a hard distinction to understand.

You can burn an American flag, but not a rainbow flag? Ridiculous
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Tweet is misleading. The story makes clear that the crime was not "flag burning." Someone broke into a school and set school property on fire. That remains illegal, whether the flag be LGBT or US. See nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-ne…
