www.nytimes.com/2025/04/08/u.... Imagine if all these universities had the backbone to defy Trump all at once, in unison? Why sell your soul to “protect” a gutter carcass? He’s going to suck them all dry anyway. Get all the alumni, students, faculty to protest 1/2

I’m encouraging everyone that lives in Minneapolis to share this with your non online Mpls neighbors and family. Can be a simple “I can’t get over this story and how the MPD treated this man.”

'In 2007, my sister, 26 at the time, needed a minor surgery, but her application to leave Gaza was denied for a week; when she was finally able to have the surgery, she was unable to handle it, and she lost her life.' A permit. A permit to access medical treatment. A fucking permit.

I'm a Jew who went to pro Palestinian rally and it was one of the friendliest political spaces I'd ever been and one of the easiest to have serious conversations. Many people feel powerless right now but you can surround Palestinians in your community with support and care

I like how we are still framing this as "struggling to combat misinformation" or clumsiness, as opposed to what it is: a conscious if sloppy effort by a wealthy right winger to undermine journalism and his ideological enemies the press is so close to getting it

US COVID SHOTS ARE FREE. Please do not let Walgreens and CVS mislead you or your family members or neighbors about this! They are the biggest part of the federal bridge (free shots for uninsured people) program, but the rollout’s logistics have been a little scattered and you may get pushback.

Thrilled to publish this piece on the history of RICO as a tool of suppression against the left, drawing particularly on its usage against a group of revolutionaries in the 1980s, and what that says about the current charges against #StopCopCity activists. lpeproject.org/blog/rico-an...

I have a friend that never asks me how I'm doing but instead always picks things up and carries things or lifts things before I have a chance to reach for them. To ME (we are not all this same) this is the most loving form of empathy and understanding of my pain anyone has ever displayed.

"Johns Hopkins leaders say three key steps powered their demographic change: the elimination of “legacy” preferences ... a massive increase in financial aid for families in need; and more extensive recruiting in places where the university is not well known." www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...
Johns Hopkins leaders say three key steps powered their demographic change: the elimination of “legacy” preferences in admission for children, grandchildren and siblings of alumni; a massive increase in financial aid for families in need; and more extensive recruiting in places where the university is not well known.In 2013, 9 percent of incoming freshmen at Hopkins had “legacy” connections, the university said, and 18 percent identified as Black, Latino, American Indian, Native Alaskan or Native Hawaiian. By last fall the legacy share had plummeted to less than 2 percent while the percentage from the underrepresented racial and ethnic groups had soared to 34 percent. The White share of freshmen, meanwhile, sank to 17 percent in 2022. Federal data show it had been 46 percent a decade earlier.
