60% of American households can’t afford a minimal quality of life.
Meanwhile, the 19 richest households saw their wealth increase by $1 trillion in 2024 — the biggest one-year increase ever.
Our problem isn't a lack of resources.
Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) has a bill to return tariff authority to Congress. If it were to pass, the purposeless tariffs would end. Speaker Johnson is blocking it. Call your member of Congress, R or D, & urge a discharge petition on the bill, which forces a vote.

Not content with purchasing the presidency, Elon Musk now wants to buy the Wisconsin Supreme Court as well.
His PAC just pumped $1M into supporting anti-choice right-wing extremist Brad Schimel.
Wisconsin — don't become Musk's latest acquisition! Vote @crawfordforwi.bsky.social.

“Truth and knowledge are not found in the slim, intellectually desiccated gray area between bellicose “liberal” and “conservative” talking points. Colleges benefit the public by pursuing truth and knowledge in ways that transcend those narrow and artificial political stereotypes.”
Thank you to @chronicle.com for publishing my op-ed on institutional neutrality. "Neutrality is a historically recent invention. The historical norm has been that college administrations, as part of their academic missions, take a stand for various causes." #EduSky
