You should be ashamed of yourself. You voted against women and our right to vote. It's beyond sad and disappointing that you didn't use the critical thinking skills you learned at Bates and that so many people will pay the price for that

THIS. IS. SO. IMPORTANT.

It’s hard not to be scared but we shouldn’t be looking away. Reporting like this makes sure we see it.

U.S. Naval Academy ends affirmative action Despite a federal ruling in its favor, the academy will no longer consider race in admissions.

The attacks on higher ed impact not just this moment but the future. Reporting like this is important to people knowing and understanding.

So demoralizing, and yet this is just one more reason why (excellent) journalism is vital at this moment

I can’t imagine being proud of being an architect of Project 2025, but the reporting is important

Kind of love this--go @thebaltimorebanner.com!

No words. Journalism is more crucial now than ever.

The research that Johns Hopkins and so many other top notch higher ed institutions do is vital to this country. And of course, this was beautifully reported. 😉

What’s coming is painful, and campus communities are going to feel this when education should be more accessible not less…

Education is more crucial, not less, especially at this moment…

Love the range of coverage from my favorite journalist.

So helpful…

It’s time to support actual journalism, done well, and not talking heads on CNN and MSNBC. There is so much good work being done—including by my favorite journalist. 💪😉

So excited for this next adventure!

‘Imposing’ cameras near former Johns Hopkins encampment alarms unions Despite assurances from campus officials, advocates fear the cameras and changes to protest policies will create a “chilling” effect on free speech.

Proud of this kind of journalism (and to have raised the journalist!)

Nathan Hill. The writing is excellent
