As the final Blue Springs High School football camp concluded last Thursday, first-year head coach Jed Paulsen invited three seniors to speak to the team. Tight end Eli Youman, offensive lineman Julian Martinez and cornerback Kevonte Jackson had just returned home from a mission trip that took them, and other seniors on the team, to a variety of camps, shelters and depressed areas of Mississippi.
Anna Pham is not your typical activist. At just 11 years old, she became passionate about gun control after the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in 2018. Joining other teens in March for Our Lives, a national student-led movement against gun violence, Anna turned to activism because she was “tired of seeing my representatives not doing anything and just tweeting.”
Lost in the furor over the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn the nearly five decades of American bodily autonomy guaranteed by Roe v. Wade was another appalling ruling in Vega v. Tekoh.

DEAR ABBY: I’ve been living with my boyfriend, “Dan,” for 15 years. He has always worked, and he doesn’t hit me. If he’s mad he lets go easy and doesn’t dwell on stuff.
