Epstein’s economic power among academics was made possible by a capitalist system that makes higher education dependent on the charity economy rather than a public good supported by taxing the rich

@mayor.nyc.gov educating residents invites them to understand the moral and practical direction of a city's budget. This approach invites digital centric folx to lean in, learn and possibly engage in #ParticipatoryBudgeting as a viable next step toward a representative municipal government.
The City’s Budget is our future. And you deserve to know how it works.

Trump is having journalists arrested, I doubt the British media will cover it. As they remained silent on Israel murdering over 200 journalists. When allies do it, it’s internal policy and not for us to comment on….

Examining the Social Determinants of Health Through a Reproductive Justice Lens
The Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) are often framed as conditions that only matter when discussing marginalized communities. This has been a pet peeve of ours at RJ Squared.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

the arrest of journalists in minneapolis, including don lemon, is more evidence that the only move the administration knows how to make is to use force, and does not know how to respond when that force is met with defiance and indifference.

The real reason the US is invading Venezuela goes back to a deal Henry Kissinger made with Saudi Arabia in 1974.
And I'm going to explain why this is actually about the SURVIVAL of the US dollar itself.

Our social structure, per my interpretation as a scholar who has examined social systems' impact on our life outcomes, continuously activates its labor(ing) human capital as their chronic scapegoat while continuously making us sick. Glad to see Graves's words in text for wider consumption.

a fcking word "the administration “is not serious about protecting public safety,” but instead “committed to creating the conditions for violence to thrive.”
A few years ago, Equal Justice USA was awarded $3 million in federal grants to expand the organization’s work supporting community violence intervention efforts.
In April, the Trump administration immediately terminated its funds, stating that the grants were no longer aligned with DOJ priorities.

We have allowed the lazy, grifting Silicon Valley charlatans into the front door, & in doing so, we have learned just how many of our own colleagues & administrators simply are not interested in the actual business of education. It's incredibly demoralizing.

Thanks so much for your reporting on this, Ben. I just got an email from my campus's IT office triumphantly advertising free student access to four different AI models -- at the same time as we have a hiring freeze, caps on grad enrollment, and a 7% budget cut -- and wanted to scream.
