Look around. The case for more, not less, liberal arts education - actual, real education in reading, writing, thinking, arguing, analyzing, & synthesizing by doing the actual hard work for which there is no substitute - is stronger than it’s ever been at any point in human history.

There was a time in our history when Black people had to carry freedom documents to prove their status. Today, Latinos are going through the same thing. Just wanted to put this out there for the Latinos for Trump.
Congratulations, y'all Black now.

Japan, ostensibly one of the least religious countries in the world, had its political order upended by the lay Buddhist organization Soka Gakkai. That is THE story about Friday's epochal shift in Japanese politics (thread follows):

For every horrific act of fascist abuse you’ve seen video of in recent months, there are hundreds that you’ll never even hear about.
A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A.
ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why.
A judge has ordered his immediate release.

The 'Mozart of Math' rarely speaks about politics. The wide-ranging cuts to science funding made him change that.
UCLA's Terence Tao called the Trump administration's actions an "existential threat" to academic research in the U.S.
