I'm a professor at the flagship university for the fourth whitest state in the US. Over 80% of our students are white.

The biggest barrier to access here is that due to lack of state funding, we have top 10 highest tuition per capita of public unis in the country.

We also have a food pantry.

Incredibly damning that Jamelle’s criticism β€” and not the somehow both horrific and pointless story β€” is what has prompted action for violating the Times’s standards.

How Health Care Remade the U.S. Economy (Gift Article) Medicine is now the nation’s largest employer, but its growth may be slowing.

Beyond taking #healthcare away from millions of kids, families, and the elderly, the Budget-Busting Bill would mean the loss of thousands of jobs in hospitals, research centers, nursing homes, clinics, doctors’ offices.

MSNBC put together a supercut of Republicans trashing on Trump's big bill before they voted for it

You may be thinking "How can an entire political party be organized around the policy of taking from everyone and giving to the rich? No one would vote for them." Well that's where Lying comes in

Congrats to Lisa Murkowski on voting for a bill that she herself admitted was not ready in hopes that the House would change it. Now it’ll become law. She had the power to stop it, and instead chose to become complicit. That’s her legacy.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Every week someone tells me they had to put Covid aside to focus on bigger issues like fascism. The thing is, eugenics and fascism go hand in hand.

Historically pandemics have ignited fascism & normalized eugenics & indifference

The Mamdani story can be explained by the fact that lots of western commentators are entirely unaware of South Asian migration to Africa

This is actually a really normal thing that plenty of student deal with and the most disturbing part about the article is that the NYT spent more energy on protecting the identity of an internet race theorist than asking themselves why they would act as mouthpieces for such a person

Its a personalist party, a personalist presidency. It is not about ideology, policies, or the future. It is just about Trump.

1. Trump's megabill will slash nutrition assistance for poor families, cause 17 million people to lose their health insurance, and add over $3 trillion to the deficit -- all to finance tax cuts for the rich.

IN THIS THREAD, I WILL LIST THE COMPANIES THAT PUBLICLY SUPPORTED THIS BILL.

I am not a Social Security recipient but even if I was: Why am I getting an email from SSA celebrating this legislation? How is this an appropriate use of that ostensibly massive database?

See, it's actually not that hard to identify antisemitic politicians. They tend to self-report!

I'm listening to my Airpod Pros yet for whatever reason they don't know they're with me.
