Made from the damaged letters of a welcome sign in Liubymivka, a frontline village in Kherson region, occupied in March 2022 and liberated that October.
Volya means both freedom and will – a word that perfectly captures 🇺🇦 spirit.

“Tom was super excited to become a U.S. resident, so much so that he had insisted on a cowboy-themed wedding.” But then the German robotic engineer was arrested for a visa overstay based on a policy he had no way of knowing existed. Completely Kafkaesque. "We feel like we were tricked.”

Last year at this time, I had just learned that I would receive a 12-month NEH, and I was excitedly starting to lay plans for a year of research. DOGE halted those plans by canceling my grant outright. Now DOGE is gone too, having accomplished nothing but harm to others. What a year.

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.
We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.
A vote for this bill is a mistake.

"Book censorship is much more than filtering information; it’s the silencing of voices and the erasure of stories." Excellent story from Bookriot on student activists facing down a book ban.
Last month, it was teenagers who got 8 books banned in a statewide Georgia reading bowl back into the competition. These literary heroes deserve recognition–get to meet three of these rad book-loving intellectual freedom champions.
