The Supreme Court blatantly exceeds its constitutional authority and undermines its legitimacy when it acts like a super legislature rewriting laws it doesn’t like.

Pope Leo turned the question around like the boss he is.
Screenshot of a tweet by perrito barista (@Carlitospindola), translated from Spanish, quoting Pope Leo responding to a question about migration by reframing it: "What is the global North doing to help the global South in its situation that forces them to migrate?" The embedded video shows the Pope holding a microphone aboard what appears to be a plane, with clergy visible behind him.

Both U.S. Olympic hockey teams won gold. But only the men got a presidential call and celebration, while the women were met with a joke at their expense. The contrast isn’t just about sports. It’s about how respect, power, and attention are allocated in our culture.

The German SS didn't just recruit fanatics during WWII, they recruited criminals and convicts, offering them pay, uniforms, promised pardons, and the ability to operate with complete impunity. If that model sounds familiar - that means you are paying attention.

Our official statement on the University of Arizona's China microcampuses shutdown. You can read the full statement on our website at UCWArizona.org/our-statements, or at the link in bio.
Simple white flyer with black text. At the top is the full color UCWAZ logo. Below the logo, in bold capital letters, text reads "UCWAZ CWA Local 7065's Official Statement on the University of Arizona's China Microcampuses Shutdown." Below, in italics, text reads "October 2nd, 2025" Below, regular text reads "United Campus Workers Arizona (CWA local 7065) calls on the University of Arizona to deliver on its promises to students, faculty, and staff at the satellite undergraduate-degree programs in China." At the bottom, text reads "1/4".Simple white flyer with black text. Text reads "On Monday, September 3, UA President Suresh Garimella sent out a campus-wide email celebrating the university’s new Strategic Imperatives: “Delivering on Our Promise,” which proclaims “student success as our North Star.”
Two weeks later, on September 17, the University of Arizona announced to the microcampuses in China that all academic programs and contracts were shut down “immediately,” declaring that these students are not included in their promise of “success for every student.”
The University of Arizona has dismantled its successful partnerships with undergraduate, instructional programs in China in response to a contested congressional report. While this congressional report is not a federal mandate to sever ties with Chinese academic programs, the UA responded as if it were and shuttered all four of their Chinese partnerships, going above and beyond what the report urged. Inside Higher Ed reports that 12 U.S. institutions were named specifically, but it is unclear if any of the other 11 reacted with such an immediate and sweeping closure of their partnerships." At the bottom of the page, text reads @UCWArizona and 2/4.Simple white flyer with black text. Text reads "Instead of supporting Chinese students, the University of Arizona simply gave in to fear. It abandoned 2,200 students who were promised and who paid for the opportunity to earn a degree from the UA. According to students in the UA-Ocean University of China Joint Law Program, the university’s subsequent proposals for students to transfer to another online program or to apply for a visa to study in the United States would increase each student's costs by anywhere from $40,000 to $100,000 to obtain a UA degree, which is unreasonable and unfair. The university's action sends these students a poor message about the United States and adds to the disharmony between our nation and theirs.
In its haste to abandon thousands of students, the UA has broken its promise to the faculty and staff who worked most closely with the students. The UA reports that 35 faculty and 4 staff were “impacted” by this decision. The impacted faculty include instructors who just relocated to Tucson in August, at the university’s request. One month later, the UA revoked their original appointments, and they now face unemployment in January." At the bottom, text reads "@UCWArizona 3/4"Simple white flyer with black text. Text reads "Far from delivering on its promises, once again, the UA has put the consequences of its choices on the backs of students, staff, and teaching faculty.
We call on the University of Arizona to: Ensure a practical path for the 2,200 students to earn the degree they were promised; Honor the original employment offer for all faculty and staff working with microcampuses in China; Create a clear and ethical policy that offers a legally binding, timely contract, and a publicly stated, humane process for non-renewals.
In solidarity,
Your Union, United Campus Workers of Arizona CWA Local 7065" At the bottom, text reads "UCWArizona.org @UCWArizona 4/4". Next to the text is the full color UCWAZ logo.
