Reassuring the actor to "hold your head up," Daniels finishes his message, "No racist f––k can come in and do the things that they did to you. Hold your head up, Jussie. I'm with you, I'll be there in a minute. It's just another f–––––g day in America." |
The Empire creator captioned his video, "We got this, @jussiesmollett." |
According to the Chicago police, two unknown suspects approached the Empire star and yelled racial and homophobic slurs towards him. The offenders assaulted the actor and poured an unknown chemical substance on him. At some point, they wrapped a rope around the actor's neck and fled the scene. Smollett was self-transpo... |
Daniels isn't the only person speaking out against Jussie's horrific attack. |
Danielle Brooks, Vivica A. Fox, John Legend, Shonda Rhimes, Zendaya and more are calling for justice. |
Rhimes tweeted, "We ALL have a responsibility to rise up against the ignorance and hate out there. If you know who did this to @jussiesmollett, REPORT THEM TO THE POLICE." |
Brooks added, "They can try to break you physically, but they can't break your spirit. To my freind @jussiesmollet, I love you King. I am praying for you and your family. This is reality. America, we must do better." |
The NAACP President and CEO, Derrick Johnson, also issued a statement on Smollett's assault. |
"The recent racist and homophobic attack on acclaimed actor and activist Jussie Smollett is troubling. The rise in hate crimes is directly linked to President Donald J. Trump's racist and xenophobic rhetoric. It is dangerous for any society to allow a tone of divisiveness and hatred to dominate the political discourse.... |
Noting that "as this rhetoric continues to bleed into our everyday lives, dangerous behavior will continue to place many law-abiding individuals at risk. We pray for a full physical and mental recovery Jussie Smollett and many unnamed victims of this forum of hate based terrorism." |
The Chicago Police are asking people who may have information on the incident to please contact Area Central Detectives at 312-747-8382 or report it anonymously to www.cpdtip.com. |
Our thoughts and prayers are with Jussie and his family during this time. |

WORCESTER — Less than 24 hours after the Holy Cross football team suffered its fourth straight loss — a crushing, 32-0 defeat at Yale — the college fired coach Tom Gilmore with four games remaining in the 2017 season. |
In 14 seasons at Holy Cross, Gilmore went 72-81 and guided the Crusaders to the 2009 Patriot League championship. HC has posted just one winning season (6-5 in 2015) in the last five years. HC is 2-5 this season. |
Pine informed Gilmore of the decision Sunday morning and Gilmore met with his staff. Pine delivered the news to the players. |
When reached Sunday morning, Gilmore declined comment. |
Gilmore had one more year remaining on his contract. |
Offensive coordinator Brian Rock will assume the interim head coaching duties for the remainder of the 2017 season. |
A national search for Gilmore’s replacement will begin immediately. |
The Crusaders have games against Colgate, Georgetown, Fordham and Lehigh, all Patriot League opponents remaining. HC is 1-1 in PL play so far. |
The return of fifth-year senior quarterback Peter Pujals gave Holy Cross great hope for 2017 and the year began very promisingly with a strong performance at UConn, HC’s first game against a Football Championship Subdivision (FBS) program in 15 years. HC led the Huskies late in the third quarter before losing, 27-20. T... |
Holy Cross has since lost four straight. |
HC fell at Dartmouth, 27-26, in overtime. The Crusaders failed to convert a two-point conversion on the last play of OT. The next week, at Fitton Field, HC lost to previously winless Lafayette, 10-7. With the game tied, 7-7, at 1:42 remaining, Holy Cross went for it on fourth-and-1 from its own 33 and didn’t make it. T... |
Pujals set a HC record with 509 passing yards in a losing effort (48-36) against Monmouth and the Crusaders were overmatched at Yale Saturday. |
Holy Cross will get a jump on finding Gilmore’s replacement. |
Gilmore came to Holy Cross in 2004 from Lehigh, where he had served as the defensive coordinator. He took over the program at a difficult time. The Crusaders were coming off one of the worst seasons (1-11) in their history while former coach Dan Allen dealt with serious health issues. |
Holy Cross dropped its first five games of the Gilmore era and finished 3-8 in 2004, but went on to post seven straight winning seasons, highlighted by the 2009 campaign when quarterback Dominic Randolph led HC to the FCS playoffs. |
The Crusaders are 21-43 over the last 5-1/2 seasons. |
Holy Cross has several FBS opponents, such as Boston College, Navy and UConn, on upcoming schedules and the new indoor practice facility at the Luth Athletic Complex is expected to bolster recruiting. |

There are 20 North American cities still in the running for the company's HQ2. |
Toronto is the only Canadian city to make the short list of places where Amazon could build its second company headquarters. |
In September, the online shopping giant announced it was looking for a second home outside Seattle and invited municipalities across North America to submit bids. Hundreds of cities answered the call, with many of them completely debasing themselves in the process. |
Many cities and states vying for the headquarters have promised lavish tax benefits and other perks. Toronto did not offer Amazon any public money, but the city's bid did highlight existing tax benefits the company could claim. |
Other Canadian cities that submitted bids for Amazon's "HQ2" include Vancouver, Montreal, Calgary, Ottawa, and Halifax. |
Toronto Mayor John Tory welcomed the announcement. |
But others were a little more skeptical. |
Amazon claims it will spend $5 billion building the new headquarters and bring 50,000 high-paying jobs to whatever city it chooses. But many people warn that Amazon's impact on Seattle has not been all positive, especially on housing and inequality, and that any city that lands the second headquarters could suffer simi... |
Some were more blunt in their assessment. |
And in typical Canadian fashion, many Torontonians are just happy to be invited to the cool kids' table. |
Sorry, Ottawa. Ya should've clapped harder! |
Amazon says it will make a final decision on where to locate its second headquarters later in 2018. |
When it comes to promoting students to the next grade, warm-and-fuzzy is in. Objective test results are out. |
That’s the gist of Schools Chancellor Carmen Fariña’s announcement Wednesday that henceforth “test scores may not be the primary or major factor in promotion decisions” for third- through eighth-graders. Instead, schools will use “multiple measures, including a holistic assessment” of students’ work and progress. |
In short, more children will be passed along based on more subjective criteria. |
This marks a deliberate return to the pre-Bloomberg days, when nearly every child was automatically passed, even though a majority flunked the tests. While children might cheer, no one who cares about preparing them for the future can — least of all those who style themselves progressive. |
That’s why The Post has long campaigned to end social promotion. A decade ago, we argued that promoting kids who aren’t ready means many will never catch up. And we applauded then-Mayor Mike Bloomberg and then-Chancellor Joel Klein for sacking Panel for Education Policy members who backed the status quo. |
Now, we understand the practical challenge facing Fariña: With so many kids failing the new Common Core tests, too many might be held back for the schools to handle. But the answer’s not to ignore the tests, it’s to make sure kids can pass them. |
Given de Blasio’s boasts about the magic of universal pre-K, New Yorkers might have thought this was his solution. But if pre-K is really going to deliver what de Blasio and Fariña claim — higher achievement in later grades — they should be for measuring that achievement instead of taking test results out of promotion. |
In The Post on Wednesday, parent advocate Mona Davids asked the mayor the key question: “What’s the plan, Bill” for improving the city’s public schools? |
Now we know the answer: Give up — and just pretend the kids are learning. |
February 5, 2009 Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has had a cancerous tumor removed from her pancreas. The 75-year-old justice is expected to remain in the hospital for seven to 10 days. She was treated for colon cancer in 1999. |
February 5, 2009 Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the only woman on the nation's highest court, had surgery Thursday to remove a cancerous tumor from her pancreas. Ginsburg is being treated at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York. She was treated for colon cancer 10 years ago. |

Katie Allen already knows what she wants to be when she grows up: a writer. |
“I’ve already been thinking about a plan,” she said. |
That plan includes her dream of living in California and studying how to write novels. |
For many of the 500 seventh-grade students that attended a career fair at the University of North Georgia’s Gainesville campus on Thursday, March 15, dreams for the future feel set in stone. |
Ryan Lynch, for example, is dead-set on attending the University of Georgia and studying sports journalism. |
But things can always change. |
And even Lynch admitted that the career fair was a good opportunity to explore what else the world might have to offer when he becomes an adult. |
“I thought (the career fair) was going to be cool because you get to learn about jobs you might not think about,” he said. |
More than 50 local employers were on hand to show students just what else is out there when it comes to a career, including landscaping and manufacturing companies, financial institutions, tourism agencies and public servants like the Gainesville Police Department and Hall County Fire Services. |
The career fair was developed as a collaboration between the Greater Hall Chamber of Commerce, the Vision 2030 Education Consortium, UNG, and the Gainesville and Hall County school systems. |
The chamber has worked with high school students in recent years to get them involved in work-based learning programs, particularly in the local manufacturing industry. |
