One of the best programs at my university, the Migrant Student Services program just lost their federal funding. These are some of the most incredible, hardworking, amazing students you could imagine. The program needs financial help if you are able (link in reply). Thanks.

If you cite me, just know I appreciate you, because there are times when I'm like, "WHY AM I WRITING A BOOK? WHO IS GOING TO READ THIS THING?" So, you are helping me keep going when I would rather take a nap.

Political science suggests liberals are more tolerant of the Supreme Court when it makes decisions they don't like. Kathryn Haglin, Soren Jordan, Alison Higgins Merrill and @joeura.bsky.social ask: does that still hold up with the new-look Court?
