I can't get over this number: in 2007, there were 360,000 newspaper jobs. Now, there are 80,000. "My local paper sucked!" Sure. What sucks even more? The void. "I get all my news from the Guardian!" No, the Guardian doesn't report on your town council, your school board, local cops.

Truly, one of the most successful 20th c. innovations of conservatism was merging elitist contempt for the democratization of higher education that happened after World War II with populist contempt for elitism. Still don’t quite know how they did it, but it’s been the playbook since at least 1951.

Fwiw one thing university faculty can do is provide simple explainers for their students on how federal funding works and how cuts to higher ed & endowment taxes will concretely damage their education and possibly spike tuition costs Many students don’t know how university finances work!

My favorite story in sports right now is the Haskell women’s basketball team. Haskell is a NAIA school in my hometown and specifically serves indigenous students. It lost 25% of its workforce to federal cuts, including the WBB coach, who is now working for free. They just made the NAIA tourney.
