Tribal colleges and universities aren’t well known, but are a crucial steppingstone for Native students
While more Native Americans living on reservations attend college than in decades prior, just 10.3% earned college degrees in 2020.

Reminder that Putin has never said he wants a trilateral meeting, had never said he would respect Ukrainian sovereignty, and has never said he wants to end the war. Not to be a downer, but the discussion of security guarantees is premature.

Did Trump Know What Epstein “Stole” Virginia Giuffre For?
Donald Trump said this week that a known Epstein victim was one of the people “stolen” from Mar-a-Lago by the convicted sex offender. Could Trump have known what would happen to her?

I’m a physician in a film. I practice every kind of medicine and never need to ask for help from other physicians. I’m also extremely attractive and live life like I work a 9 to 5 job with all evenings and weekends off.
I’m a programmer in a film. I can “hack” into any “database” in the world by typing extremely quickly. The more difficult the database the faster I have to type. If a photograph of any sort is involved in the plot I can decipher crucial details by “enhancing the lower right quadrant” of it.
