US Senators are currently debating the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" to advance President Trump’s agenda.
This bill is not a solution to economic inequality or for managing immigration procedures – it is a blueprint for cruelty.

President Trump's deployment of federalized National Guard troops is unnecessary, inflammatory, and an abuse of power.

And let's not forget that Chenjerai was hired to teach *journalism* at NYU, because he is an award-winning broadcaster. For doing the thing he was hired to teach, he is now being being declared "PNG" at NYU. Wild stuff.
NYU Campus Security and Administration is totally out of control.
On Wednesday - I filmed a peaceful protest in Bobst library for two hours.

I received an email explaining that I’ve been designated “persona non grata” and banned from several buildings on campus.
