Some of my best students in 20 years of teaching have been Chinese nationals. They are not synonymous with their governing party, just as Americans aren't. Intellectual interchange should know neither border nor visa.

NPR's new lawsuit is a powerhouse, identifying multiple, independent ways the Trump administration violated the Constitution in order to take revenge on public media. Bottom line? This administration is scared of the truth & this lawsuit reveals that weakness. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

The US already has a physician shortage and it was already predicted to significantly worsen (to the point that people’s health could be jeopardized) before these policies 😬

Police departments that do this deserve public shame. They’re the worst offenders because when they block bike lanes, it signals to all of car culture that this is acceptable and consequence-free. That message is deadly, and they know better.

Trump math: $1M dinner + lots of kissing up = 1 pardon + erasing a $4.4M penalty. To Trump, it doesn't matter that Walczak stole millions from the paychecks of nurses and doctors to pay for a yacht. All that matters is how much money his family paid Trump.

Only 28% of Americans who planned to buy a home in 2024 were able to do so. Homes are quickly becoming unaffordable for ordinary Americans. Congress must do more to restore purchasing power to Americans and reduce the cost of starter homes.
