The Irish famine of the 1840s reminds us that the Great Hunger was shaped by a mind-set that is now again in the ascendent: the poor are the authors of their own misery, and the market must be obeyed at all costs.

It's the cruelty and stupidity of the cuts...

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out. Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation. Say equity, which a just society should pursue. Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

Crazy DOGE is gutting everything and will set us back decades...
