A young Rose Montoya was put in T-ball and basketball because of the gender she was assigned at birth. Her teammates were boys who spent more time bullying her than passing her the ball. Her real friends were the girls who let her play dress up. Most days, the boys made it clear she didn't belong with them. So she got pushed into solo sports instead, and she missed out on the things sports are supposed to teach kids: teamwork, confidence, belonging. Keep Reading →

MAGA, MAHA, or whatever we're calling a cult of people determined to drag America back to 1830, is having another banner year.
