Founded in 1870, Hunter is the largest college in the City University of New York (CUNY) and is one of the oldest public colleges in the country.
Hunter College professor and political scientist Joseph Lowndes says Portland’s unrest isn’t just protest—it’s performance. A “cinematic conflict” meant to stoke national narratives of chaos & control.

I was glad to discuss “Why Fascists Fear Teachers” tonight at @huntercollege.bsky.social. America’s educators are what make our democracy strong—by teaching students how to think, not what to think, & creating opportunities for all kids to succeed. That’s why my book is a love letter to teachers.

High costs, worse outcomes, and unequal access — these are just a few ways the US healthcare system is failing, according to Hunter College Distinguished Professors of Public Health @swoolhandler.bsky.social and David Himmelstein. Read their critique here: www.statnews.com/2025/10/21/h...
The U.S. experiment with profit-driven health care has failed
“The market competition, managed care, and ‘corporate efficiency’ that economists prescribed as the cure for health care inflation instead accelerated it.”
