In Minneapolis this afternoon—

Hundreds are streaming across the snow and ice into Powderhorn Park for a rally and march demanding ICE leave Minnesota.

It is bitterly cold. There are hardcore Midwesterners out here making their way in with trekking poles.

It’s official: RFK Jr has officially reduced recommended childhood vaccines from 17 to 11, removing universal vaccine recommendations for RSV, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, dengue and two types of bacterial meningitis.

This reckless contravention of science is going to kill people.

Tribal colleges have expanded access to higher education for Native students.

With median tuition of just $3,572, these affordable institutions focus on serving Native American students while teaching #Indigenous history, culture and language.
Tribal colleges and universities aren’t well known, but are a crucial steppingstone for Native students
While more Native Americans living on reservations attend college than in decades prior, just 10.3% earned college degrees in 2020.
