The Force Awakens came out 10 years ago today. The reactions to the Star Wars that followed has soured a lot of people on the entire franchise. It seemed worth revisiting the movie for its 10th anniversary to see how it holds up separate from its two sequels.

Last week, the New School issued voluntary separation & early retirement offers to 40% of the full-time faculty & the majority of non-union staff. These cuts to the bone are an ideological attempt to decimate historic spaces of critical inquiry & social justice. Share our statement tr.ee/qQBIDCpIuj
