This morning, I received the first fundraising email from Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ gubernatorial campaign, via a “special message” from Breitbart News. In it, Sanders touts her status as “only the third woman” to serve as White House Press Secretary. She claims that she does not call attention to her sex as a form of “identity politics,” or “checking a box,” but continues very shortly thereafter to note that she would be the first female Governor of Arkansas.

Louis Armstrong didn’t invent Jazz. But he is credited with being a pioneering force in bringing Jazz into the mainstream. He doing so, he made famous so many blues tunes

The walls at the high school Leanne Nunes attended in the Bronx were painted a color she likes to call “penitentiary beige.”
The cafeteria, located in the basement, had no windows. About half of her classrooms didn’t have windows, either. “It felt kind of jail-like,” Nunes, now a first-year student at Howard University, told Vox. “It felt like the building itself was trying to keep you in.”
