Something Went Wrong The preliminary injunction was in response to a lawsuit filed by the ACLU of Oregon on behalf of protesters and freelance journalists.

Good news! A federal judge in Oregon has restricted federal officers from using tear gas on ICE protesters after a lawsuit by the ACLU of Oregon.

This is how we defend our rights.
This is how we protect our communities.

Time for other states to follow. #ICEout

Opinion | Higher Education’s Compensation Charade We’ve come to accept illogical, unjust, and occasionally insulting pay practices. Why?

“One absurdity is that higher education treats routine pay increases that are common in many other industries as a once-in-a-blue-moon cause for celebration.” - Chronicle of Higher Education
