PHILADELPHIA When Brandi Levy learned she’d been relegated to Mahanoy Area High School’s junior varsity cheerleading team in 2017 she did what most teens these days do turned to social media to vent her frustration.
But her profane post on Snapchat in which the then-14-year-old, middle finger extended, wrote “F - school, F - softball, F - cheer, F - everything” didn’t just get her suspended from the squad for a year.

A bipartisan group of lawmakers, including U.S. Sens. Patrick Leahy and Bernie Sanders, has proposed banning police from buying access to user data from data brokers, including ones that “illegitimately obtained” their records.
“The Fourth Amendment Is Not For Sale Act” is sponsored by 20 members of the U.S. Senate.
The proposed act:
â« Requires the government to get a court order to compel data brokers to disclose data the same kind of court order needed to compel data from tech and phone companies.
â« Stops law enforcement and intelligence agencies buying data on people in the United States and about Americans abroad, if the data was obtained from a user’s account or device, or via deception, hacking, violations of a contract, privacy policy or terms of service.

The tree in my front yard looks dead. Itâs an eyesore, an ugly twig, not even 5 feet high, held upright by an equally ugly pole. Think Charlie Brown tree only without a hint of green.
But take your fingernail and scratch the bark from the tree and a pale green line appears. Even in the tiniest branch, there is green. The tree is alive. What appears to be dead isnât. Itâs the lesson that spring teaches us over and over.
