A federal judge has ruled 114,000 homeless students in New York City are to have their day in court. Business Insider reports a judge has allowed a class-action lawsuit to advance to expedite the roll-out of WiFi to homeless shelters across the city. The suit was filed when homeless students were unable to access the internet in homeless shelters during periods of remote learning this year. Business Insider reports the city provided students with iPads with unlimited cellular data, but many have had trouble getting proper cell service. US District Judge Alison Nathan wrote in her opinion that homeless students are deprived of their right to education without internet connectivity. For as long as that deprivation exists, the City bears a duty...to furnish them with the means necessary for them to attend school. US District Judge Alison Nathan
Chelsea Lauren; Pascal Le Segretain/Getty Images Azealia Banks has been subpoenaed in a class action lawsuit concerning Elon Musk's tweets about taking Tesla private at $420 per share. "The first round of Elon Musk bulls--- was stressful enough," Banks said. "I don't have the bandwidth for another row with him." Business Insider has also been subpoenaed.

While President Donald Trump sends his lawyers hither-and-yon to try to overturn the election, President-elect Joe Biden has been busy filling Cabinet slots. HuffPost reports Biden named John Kerry on Monday as his special envoy on climate. He's tasked the former secretary of state with steering a 180-degree turn in US diplomacy on the issue. Kerry will also be advising the incoming Biden administration on the security challenges a warming planet poses. America will soon have a government that treats the climate crisis as the urgent national security threat it is. Kerry will represent the US at a moment that scholars increasingly see as a period of American imperial decline amid unprecedented planetary changes.
Jill Stein was the US Green Party's 2016 candidate for president. Business Insider reports that she owes the Federal Election Commission more than $66,000 in campaign finance violations. In 2016 Stein raised $7.3 million for a recount. In December 2016, Stein promised that her donors would get to vote on how to spend these surplus funds. That never happened. Instead, Stein spent millions on election-related litigation in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. She gave raises and "performance bonuses" to her core 2016 campaign staff. She spent $113,000 on her legal defense before the US Senate's Russia investigation.
