In the past, colleges and universities have largely enjoyed a cozy relationship with Washington. Universities are economic engines in many congressional districtsโ€”and they can offer perks like football tickets and honorary degrees in exchange for their hometown lawmakersโ€™ ears. 

Now few House lawmakersโ€”and virtually no Republicansโ€”are interested in going to bat for higher education, lobbyists, trade groups and officials said.

Higher ed used to be a relatively bipartisan issue with lots of support from local members of Congress. Now, nothing is. www.wsj.com/us-news/educ...

Here Are the 100 U.S. Cities Where Protesters Were Tear-Gassed (Published 2020) The deployment of tear gas against civilians has not been this widespread since the period of unrest in the 1960s and โ€™70s, according to a New York Times analysis.

This is the only NYTimes piece I share bc it's very important for people to realize that voting blue will not protect your citizens from cops launching chemical weapons on them

Indivisible Calls on Schumer to Step Aside

๐Ÿงต The passage of this dangerous Republican funding bill is a travesty. The ongoing administrative coup led by Donald Trump and Elon Musk is a constitutional crisis. The authoritarians stripping away our rights and trying to loot the government to enrich the billionaires are a five-alarm fire.

60 years after Bloody Sunday in Alabama, elusive racial progress in Selma Events in Selma, Ala. six decades ago helped win support for the 1965 Voting Rights Act. Today local activists say they're still fighting stubborn segregation, poverty and gun violence.

Practically no one covered the simultancous 50 state protest. 

Fun fact, this is the first time in history that there's been simultaneous protests in all 50 US states against the sitting president. And practically no one is covering it.

'Make Them Pay A Price:' Tesla Threatened With 100% Tariffs In Canada โ€œWe need to look through and say who is supporting Trump and how can we make them pay a price,

75% of Musk's wealth is in Tesla stock.

Everyone is leaving the former Twitter. However, I'd like to see how far stock prices and EV sales of Tesla are going to tank.

Kill Tesla, Kill Musk.
