Trump’s “mass deportation” is not deportation at all.
When people are captured without due process, that's kidnapping. When they’re sent to another country against their will, that's human trafficking. When they're put in a prison with no way to get out, that's a concentration camp.

Democrats don't seem to get that Trump's been destroying our government, shutting it down every day, killing programs, clawing money back that Congress appropriated.
Why on earth would they "fund" a continuation of that? Their simple argument should be Trump has already shut down the government.

The interview with the Princeton historian is well worth the time to listen. Some portions of higher education will be utterly transformed, probably sooner rather than later.
A.I. is changing classrooms. We spoke to the co-founder of Alpha Schools about how her private K-12 schools are using A.I. to generate personalized lesson plans and enabling teachers to spend their time motivating rather than teaching students. nyti.ms/4p9HRzr

Both Land Grant and Sea Grant colleges have direct tangible effects on primary industries in - yep, you guessed it - Trump voting districts.
This is about UK universities but the parallels to US universities are very clear. And in the US, our Land Grant university model breaks the ivory tower barriers down even more, through Cooperative Extension (funded by USDA) and USGS climate science centers.
There is a false dichotomy drawn between "the ivory tower" and "the real world," and I'm here to report that in a post-industrial society, your real-world economy absolutely hinges on the university.
University towns are factory towns. Universities drive economic activity, not the other way around.
