When billionaires take control of communication platforms, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy.
This is a danger to the free press.

Oregon and 19 other states fought back — and won.

While this is certainly bad news, we do not recommend debtors who are enrolled in SAVE voluntarily leave their repayment plan at this time.
Even if the court approves this settlement—which could take months—any changes to repayment plans will likely take months to implement.

It’s truly hard to reconcile a lifetime of believing that the purpose of government in the United States is to help citizens with the hatred ICE and other federal agencies have displayed for Americans in Chicago, LA, DC and other US cities
In Elgin, ICE agents have been in a standoff with the community as they’re trying to arrest a man. Here’s an altercation between the feds and residents ending with arrest and pepper spray. Video from Sophia Peterson

Ann Lowe was the Black genius behind Jackie Kennedy’s iconic wedding gown.
Before the fashion world was ready to credit a Black woman’s talent, Lowe was already designing for America’s most powerful families. Brilliant. Bold. Innovative. Undervalued. And nearly erased from history.

What did minimum wage get you in each decade? In 2025, it gets you nothing but exhaustion.
There isn’t a single place in America where a full-time minimum-wage worker can afford even a modest 2-bedroom rental.
That’s the reality.

I’m often annoyed by credulous press coverage of outrageous claims in astrophysics but the issue in public health is much more serious and much higher impact. I can’t imagine how frustrating it must be to work in the field and see these kinds of headlines all the time nowadays.
News media has to do better with headlines that present false and unverified public health claims.
