No matter your background or beliefs, no one should fear for their safety because of their identity. No one should be threatened, harassed, or harmed simply for existing.

We don’t have to agree on everything to agree on this: hate has no place in our communities.

Trump is shutting down Job Corps—kicking vulnerable young people out of housing, job training, and education programs with zero plan.

Gore warned the U.S. is under siege—and every former leader should speak out like he did.

Just in NIH grants, It looks like beautiful Iowa City, home of the U of Iowa, will lose $71m in funding. That's almost $1k per resident. And that's before all the other cuts to SSA, FDA, etc.

Anyone in Iowa City that can offer more insight?
