We all know what we saw.

Our friend, Senator Alex Padilla exercising his duty to this country while the Trump administration forced him to the ground, and put him in handcuffs.

There’s no sugarcoating it—these are dangerous times and we WILL hold the admin accountable.

We ask the Holy One to spread over Israel a shelter of peace as they await with fear in their bomb shelters and safe rooms, the retaliatory strike of Iran.

Coverage of the attack on higher ed accreditation cites accred. as a quality assurance, but often omits that this includes verifying financial viability. Since accreditation determines which school's students can use federal loans, this is CRITICAL for ensuring students can earn degrees.

It’s so much fun to guess what the top 2025 trends will be! Christian Nationalist curriculum in public schools? Pregnancy mortality? Crypto scams? Measles epidemics? Unprecedented weather catastrophes? Anti-Jewish hate crimes? So many possibilities!!

Ich do not knowe ynogh wayes to saye: support public higher ed. Even thrugh hard tymes, even thrugh low enrollementes. Do not destroye livelihoodes and gut programs yn the name of an illusory efficiencye. Supportinge educacioun ys a social goode for a free societye not a return on investment.
