Two victims of previous school shootings — Mia Tretta, who was shot in the stomach in 2019 at Saugus High School, and Zoe Weissman, who survived the 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School — are now at Brown. Gun violence is out of control in this country.

Faculty who wrote to defend their president and object to a DOJ investigation of their university...are now being investigated by the DOJ.

Conway: That’s the problem we have: the courts can’t save us, and Republicans refuse to do their duty—as we saw through two impeachments.
At the end of the day, it comes down to whether people like us care enough to say something about it, to stand up, to march, and to vote.

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.
