World Roma Day isn’t about survival, writes Mensur Haliti. It's about Roma political power—disciplined, strategic and aligned.

We are not entering Europe’s future. We’re writing it.

I used to be so ready for later sunsets. I am no longer. I would rather welcome the comfort that darkness, anonymity bring.

Yesterday morning, the price of regular unleaded gas at the gas station where I usually fuel up was $3.03. By the time I got off work at 4:30pm, it had increased to $3.14.

This country has always hated poor people and left them to struggle and suffer, and now—under this administration—it deems them all the more odious and “wasteful.”

Imagine claiming that under the auspices of the DEI EO the removal of opportunities through the issuance of Pell Grants would free this country of “illegal and immoral discrimination programs” aka “shameful discrimination.”

If the DOE is eliminated—the federal agency that administers Pell Grants—the institution of higher ed where I work and teach will no longer be able to provide access to college degrees to the lower income students it serves, the majority of its student population

I work and teach at an institution of higher ed where the majority of students rely on Pell Grants (aka federal funding) to be able to attend college and earn their undergraduate degrees. If federal funding is denied to the institution of higher ed where I work and teach, it will cease to exist

I'm developing an Honors Project for my undergraduate ling anth course with a student in the Honors Program. The final product for the project will be a publishable article/blog post. Can you recommend online publication outlets/blogs that publish undergraduate research?

The far right condemn Brussels but embrace American, Russian and Chinese influence. Are they defending sovereignty—or handing it over to foreign powers? As Germany votes, Europe’s unity is at stake. Read Mensur Haliti’s take on far-right hypocrisy at the link in our bio. #GermanyVotes #romaforeurope
