Great story of when a girl took some government docs into her 8th grade class... Her teacher's eyes popped when he saw the warnings on the documents inside. Among them: “Classified, Confidential, Executive” and “Property of the United States Government.”

How classified documents became a schoolgirl's show and tell
WASHINGTON (AP) — On a winter's day in 1984, a briefcase stuffed with classified government documents showed up in a building in Pittsburgh, borne by someone who most certainly wasn't supposed to...

An adjunct professor at Hamline University showed a painting of the Prophet Muhammad for an art history class. It was followed by an outcry from Muslim students. University officials said it was Islamophobic, but many scholars say the work is a masterpiece.

After the release of details in the Idaho killings, three big things we still don’t know: - An alleged motive - Any connection between Bryan Kohberger and the students - What the housemate did after seeing the killer with

A small but meaningful detail in the criminal complaint against Bryan Kohberger, unsealed today: For every murder count, prosecutors emphasize that the victim was "a human being," highlighting their humanity. The victims – Maddie, Ethan, Xana and Kaylee – were real people.

When Yale rejected me early, I believed it was because I said too much about my psychiatric history. I edited mental illness out of my applications and got into Harvard. Guilt ate at me for years; I felt like a liar and a cheater. Now I know I’m not alone.

New: A Pennsylvania judge has accepted Bryan Kohberger’s waiver of extradition in the Idaho stabbings case, meaning that he has to be transported to Idaho within 10 days. But it could happen much sooner.

Benedict's death leaves the Catholic traditionalist movement without a top figure. It also sets the church on a more conventional path, ending a polarizing 10-year period in which the Vatican had two figures wearing white, a pope and an ex-pope.

How Benedict’s death could reshape the Catholic Church
The traditionalist movement — which embraced Benedict while at times vocally opposing Pope Francis — does not have another figure with comparable clout.

Buffalo is no stranger to snow. Why was this storm so deadly? A collision of bad timing, dwindling EMS resources & the difficulty of forcing ppl who've lived through big storms to listen But residents say officials weren't prepared and put them in danger

Buffalo’s no stranger to snow. Why was the storm so deadly?
The devastating impact is, in large part, due to a collision of a historic blizzard, bad timing, a dearth of emergency management resources, and the immense difficulty of trying to force residents...

In Massachusetts, Zofia stopped dying her hair pink. In Virginia, Eden wonders whether being trans means she can’t be a teacher. And in Texas, Josh and his husband packed up and left. Six LGBTQ Americans talked with us about the impact of this year.
washingtonpost.com
Anti-LGBTQ efforts were widespread in 2022. Six people share the impact.
For many, this year’s surge in anti-LGBTQ legislation, threats and protests has meant seeking to protect themselves, showing resistance and holding on to hope.

My latest piece follows a small-town widow as she travels across Wyoming to share the story of the state's most beloved cross-dresser: her deceased husband. Accompanying her is the writer, a gay man, who curated her words into a play. (Road trip!)

This story is important to tell because we found the mistake responders made in #Uvalde echo those made in other mass shootings. Police, fire & EMS often fail to communicate & command effectively, which can have deadly consequences.

Records Reveal Medical Response Further Delayed Care for Uvalde Victims
Previously unreleased video, audio and interviews show for the first time how the medical response faltered after police finally confronted the Robb Elementary shooter.
