Thinking of how the price of democracy is being educated. It requires your personal commitment to education. We've been living in an education debt and that debt has been called in.
If you want democracy, you need to personally commit. It is not a passive thing. It requires each person's effort.

Extraordinary NEW story: We Found That More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. @nicolefoy.bsky.social w/ photos by @sbmaneyphoto.bsky.social
More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.
The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

God this is so true
A lot of people think that every international student admitted means one fewer spot for domestic students, when the opposite is more likely true - the tuition revenue international students bring allows public universities to provide substantial discounts to domestic students, improving access.

Hoping @boarsgoreswords.bsky.social will cover HBO’s Task, but I’m not sure Red could talk Ivan into it. Maybe Red + series of guest hosts? Also, cute tough girl with baby bangs supporting actress so maybe Ivan would be up for it?

Two decades in higher education opened my eyes to how everyone benefitted from international students and faculty. Ending internationalization will hurt U.S. students, and the U.S.

Listening to this left me physically feeling sick and shaky. This guy is a cancer to our society. His beliefs and campaigns do not make America stronger or smarter. All of it feels creepy, sticky, dirty, and greasy.
The conservative activist Christopher Rufo has become an influential voice in the ear of the Trump administration as it turns his strategy into a crackdown on higher education.

We need to make sure we connect every single disaster and fatality to Trump. Everyone died in the plane crash because of understaffing and a culture of chaos in air traffic control that he created. We need to say it over and over and over again. Journalists need to connect those dots in bold font.

All of us are higher risk of food contamination, fatal accidents like this airplane crash, pandemics, natural disasters, increasing gun violence and right wing domestic terrorism. Our risk of bad luck skyrocketed when Trump took office. That includes the people who voted for Trump too.

So many cis straight white folks don’t feel they are in any danger during a Trump administration because they won’t be targeted by ICE or have their identity questioned. But all the privilege in the world can’t protect you from a gutted system collapsing.

Y’all. I know a ton of you are on Substack (I subscribe to my fair share). Just know that Substack is not trustworthy. Proceed with caution. We need another equivalent platform.
Really odd to see Substack celebrating Musk for "advancing freedom of speech on X." When we reported that X was secretly and systematically throttling traffic to Substack, the co-founders told us it was an "unreliable" platform with "hostile" policies www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

If you followed anyone in the Biden administration on FB, double check your account to see if you are now following the new administration’s equivalent person or office.
This might be a lame policy/move on FB’s part considering today’s political climate and Zuck looking like a Trump bootlicker.
