Opinion: Expand tuition relief to the CT state universities

It’s time CT invests in one of the most evidence-based ways to achieve a strong workforce and better lives for residents: access to public higher education.

Utter bullshit. #SaveTikTok Seriously, The Supreme Court has done NOTHING GOOD for the United States since overturning Roe V. Wade. Shameful.

Supreme Court backs law banning TikTok if it's not sold by its Chinese parent company

The Supreme Court has unanimously upheld the federal law banning TikTok beginning Sunday unless it’s sold by its China-based parent company.

When Trump sends his nominees, he's not sending his best. He's sending sexual abusers, Russian assets, anti-vaxxers.

Donald Trump is addicted to poll numbers. To stick with Pete Hegseth despite only 17% of Americans supporting him?

What's wrong with this picture?

REMINDER: People voted for Trump because he said his stupid tariffs will "bring your grocery bill way down," even though experts say the opposite will happen.

Now he's saying "It's hard to bring things down once they're up." We warned you.

Rest in power, President Carter. Thank you for the Department of Education and so many other things.

George Takei @georgetakei.bsky.social · Dec 29

President Jimmy Carter has passed away at the age of 100. He was a symbol of what is best about America: kindness, compassion, duty and service. He will be missed, most of all by those who long for a return of that kind of country, led by a man with such strength of character.

Can we just admit that we NEED immigrants for our economy to run, from agriculture to high tech?

We’re a goddamn nation of immigrants, aren’t we? Let’s be proud of our immigrant heritage!
