U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio insisted “no one has died” as a result of U.S. foreign aid cuts. In Myanmar, the grieving father of a 2-year-old boy who died after their food rations were cut calls such claims a lie.

Starving children screaming for food as US aid cuts unleash devastation and death across Myanmar

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has repeatedly said “no one has died" because of his government’s decision to gut its foreign aid program.

More than a century after the massacre at Čaŋkpé Opí (Wounded Knee), the U.S. still honors the soldiers who carried it out. In a new piece, guest writer Amelia Mavis-Christnot examines Trump’s decision to preserve those medals—and the deeper history of erasure it reflects.

Universal Basic Income doesn’t make people stop working.
It makes people stop panicking.

Panicking about rent.
Panicking about bills.
Panicking about choosing between medicine and food.

Imagine what America could build if survival wasn’t our full-time job. #UBI

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.

This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

💰 Ciattarelli’s tax plan favors billionaires and screws working families. He’d rather cut services than ask the ultra-rich to pay their fair share. That’s not reform—it’s robbery.

Took a moment in class to remind my undergrads to get their flu and covid jabs. Not my usual role as an econ prof, but right now they have too few trusted voices. And if others are trying to avoid political strife (this ISN'T political!!!), my students may not be hearing it elsewhere.

CA, Prop 50 Ballots Hit Mailboxes Today!

To avoid same day registration, voters must be registered by October 20, 2025.

NEWSOM'S PROP 50
BALLOTS WILL START HITTING MAILBOXES
TODAY IN CALIFORNIA

WHAT IS PROP 50?
California's Proposition 50 is a 2025 ballot measure responding to Donald Trump's attempts to rig the 2026 midterm election through mid-cycle redistricting in red states like Texas.
If passed, Prop 50 would allow California to implement a temporary, legislature-drawn congressional map for the 2026, 2028, and 2030 elections, replacing the independent commission's map - the new maps would implement boundaries designed to give Democrats an electoral advantage
offsetting the partisan maps drawn in Texas and other red states.

HOW TO VOTE YES
All active registered voters will receive a vote-by-mail ballot automatically. Ballots
can
be filled out and mailed back
(postmarked no later than November 4), returned to any official drop box or voting location by 8:00 p.m. on Election Day, or voters may vote in person at their polling place.
To participate, voters must be registered by October 20, 2025. Those who miss the deadline can still register and vote at any voting location using same-day registration.

We’re in a moment now where it would be worth people taking three hours to watch Gandhi, particularly the scene of the salt march. There is value to making the brutality of your opponent so plain as day that no one can argue with it. The clarity of that brought down an empire
