I think in part the higher education funding crisis and the LLM-teaching crisis actually strike at the same problem, which is that education doesn't work without a broad, society-wide sense that the *actual content* of education - not the credential - is valuable.

The “Left Exit 12 Off Ramp” meme with the car (“TRUMP AND THE REPUBLICANS”) turning towards “giving huge tax breaks to billionaires” instead of “lowering costs for working families.”

Under Trump’s Tax Scam:

1.2 million veterans, 4.8 million seniors and 14.6 million children could go hungry

More than 1 million children risk losing access to school meals

Grocery costs will skyrocket by over $500 per year for 40 million people, including over 1 million veterans and 1 in 5 kids

also, do not date men whose favorite anime is neon genesis evangelion 🙅🏾‍♀️🙅🏾‍♀️🙅🏾‍♀️ i was warned and didn’t listen, so learn from my mistakes!!!

thinking a lot about how autism and other disabilities would be less of an issue if accommodations and accessibility were just a given and not a thing to be fought for

Democrats never seem to think that part of their job is to educate the public and advocate for their position.

Why are the democrats so focused on matching public option, except the one that says their entire leadership sucks and should be replaced.

What would the engineers and creators be doing? Adding in the audio descriptions themselves? If that's the case, the issue isn't that a human couldn't do it better, but that they won't do it.

May Day celebrates the progress of working people and honors those who fought for it.

As Trump, Musk, and Republicans roll back workers’ rights and strip America down for profit, we’re joining a vast coalition of organizations to turn May 1 into a nationwide day of mobilization.

I don't trust Gavin Newsom at all. Not one bit. Any leader who calls the denial of due process and detainment and deportation of a legal resident of this country a "distraction" is just not someone I can trust.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you.

The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

One of the weirder things to learn about from the administration is that, apparently, Cheryl Hines is apparently a piece of shit.

Got a new one today when the press secretary accused him of being a "human trafficker" just absolutely out of thin air!

Universities will win if they stick together and focus on what's actually important - non-profit teaching and research towards the public good - and ditch this neoliberal idea that the university is just a business like any other.

This administration sent 200+ fathers, sons, and husbands to be tortured in a foreign prison for the rest of their lives. 9 in 10 have no criminal record. None received any due process.

If you *aren’t* outraged, you need to check your fucking humanity.

Ok, so we just want to have a centrally planned economy? I heard those worked out great!

It's a poll tax you moron. I can't believe you are voting to solve a non-existent problem instead of attacking the blatant corruption of the president. Just pathetic.

It's really sad that believed this until the last lines

It always boggles my mind that I, a journalist, am expressly forbidden from trading stocks, but members of Congress, with vastly greater knowledge of market-moving news, are allowed to profit by front-running markets, and so may profit by in essence stealing from the public they represent.

If a future Democratic trifecta wanted to float a trial balloon on expanding the Supreme Court, they should expand the lower courts to the point that their appointments in red states are the majority. And scrap the convention of giving the senators of a state a say in who gets nominated.

Did this guy even WATCH Gattaca?

Also the cowardice and selfishness of several thousand people.

dividing blue color workers from "the professional managerial class" is another such trick, turning us against each other over minor economic differences, particularly compared to the wealth of the ownership class

New rule: if you don’t provide a salary range, you don’t get a cover letter. Let’s both withhold information.

They should remake Being John Malkovich three more times, but each time the four leads rotate roles. I'm personally looking forward to Being Catherine Keener where the Johns play a married couple who are seduced by Cameron Diaz.
