Some Marines graduate without their parents' presence amid ICE fears News that ICE would be stationed outside Marine Corps graduation events upended family plans, elicited national reaction and drew out protesters, including Marine veterans.

“They were going to come. It was going to be a big thing. We were going to go to the beach right after. All those plans had to go out the window because they said ICE would be here."

I guess it depends what you mean by the general public but lots of people still reject the idea that slavery was somehow the cause of the Civil War.

History is not a settled field. We remain in discussion, debate, and research on every event in the past and are likely to forever remain uncommitted to one singular “true” version of the past.

Snow falling in NC, travel dangerous, flights canceled at RDU, child falls through ice: Live Updates For the second week in a row, the ABC 11 Weather Team is tracking a winter storm that's bringing inches of snow across NC including the Outer Banks

When I was stationed at Fort Bragg in February 2014, we received a couple inches of snow, and we couldn’t go in to work for the whole week. The storm effectively shut everything down. This storm seems much worse than that!

I know I don't have a ton of media followers, but I'll put this out there anyway: if you need someone to comment/offer context on the removal of the slavery exhibit at the President's House site in Philly, get in touch. I just finished an entire book on Americans' fight over Washington and slavery.
