Relinquishing Independence to the Authoritarian Is Bad…Duh But not all is lost. Resistance still matters.

Larry Summers called the Columbia "deal" with Trump a good move for higher education. I beg to differ and try to unpack the warnings from more than 20 years ago that led to this very bad day. www.insidehighered.com/opinion/colu...

The SOR misinformation campaign about NAEP, balanced literacy, three cueing, and reading programs is adjacent to the same MAGA attacks on CRT, DEI, etc.

If you are disappointed in, surprised about Sydney Sweeney ...

Other than her looks and talent, she is a typical WW, especially from FL

WW chose Trump 60% ... think about why you are upset carefully ...

Celebrities are not going to save anyone ...
