A new study found that 82% of respondents favored DEI policies. "While the vast majority of respondents were positive about DEI themselves, they estimated just 55 percent of Americans held pro-diversity views."
DEI is more popular than we assume!

You Are Probably Wildly Underestimating How Many Americans Support DEI, New Study Shows

NEW: In August, Seattle canceled Nickelsville’s proposed 15-unit tiny house village in Rainier Valley. Until now, it was not clear why. Records obtained by @realchangenews.bsky.social show that some neighbors complained to the city prior to the permit denial.

UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is.
They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there.
They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.

There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. I know this already. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy. Remember this. Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Random acts of insurrection are occurring constantly throughout the galaxy. #andor

This week I finished a program with the Citizen Potawatomi Nation - of which I am an enrolled member - called Mdamen (literally “that miraculous seed”)
It was one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. It helped me put words to a part of my identity I’ve never known how to talk about before.

I truly think people don’t realize how many universities and colleges — especially public ones — may shut down if restrictions on and withholding of federal funding persists for even one presidency
