I can’t imagine the kind of monster you would be to deny children of a dead parent their Social Security survivor benefits.

The depths of this administration‘s depravity is immeasurable.

And so is every single one of their sycophants.

Pure evil.

Nearly 18 years ago, my dad died of metastatic renal cell carcinoma.
This news is beyond heartbreaking.
“No money for kidney cancer,” Vieth said. “No money for pancreatic cancer. No money for lung cancer. It leaves so much completely unfunded. Yeah, wow. It’s pretty devastating.”

Wonder what percentage of America knows Elon is stealing cancer research for his tax cut?

Given developments at the Kennedy Center, effective today I am resigning as artistic advisor to the NSO.
Not for me.
It’s been a wonderful 8 years working with Kennedy Center President Deb Rutter, fellow artistic advisor Renee Fleming, NSO artistic administrator Justin Ellis, and the entire NSO

“Screaming, crying, throwing up,” and not at all in the good way.
Trump is taking over the Kennedy Center board, appointing himself as chair. No president has ever done this. The last time the arts were forced to align with government messaging? WWII Germany. This is a power grab, not culture. Speak out. #HandsOffTheArts

As someone slowly making their way into a career in academia, I am even more motivated to continue down this path.
JD Vance: The professors are the enemy
-
Professors who give time and vital energy with respect and passion for knowledge, learning and sharing, let us say that the enemy is ignorance and greed, which are at the root of the loss of our humanity, and lead us back to the barbarism of the strongest.
