Currently watching anger and resentment across the party lines in the US in response to @governorwalz.mn.gov post on the ICE shooting in Minneapolis
Thinking if the democracy both sides wishes to protect is eroding under the need for vengeance rather than the need for political change.

Defunding universities in the US not only increases social inequality by keeping bright young people out of higher education - it also impacts the rest of us by keeping important knowledge and research from being created. When education is cut, we all become poorer. #DEI
