    I’m glad and plan to make RI Promise permanent. But Community College of Rhode Island has laid off 45 full-time staff. Public higher ed is in crisis. CCRI/RIC/URI need the funding to provide Rhode Islanders w a free and transformative higher education.

    A stunning screed where the concerns and fears of Black parents merit not a single mention. It is a pattern in these scorched earth hate screeds against teachers: they ignore that most Black parents don’t want to return their children to antiquated schools in a

    Readers, many of us got involved in the Black Lives Matter marches last summer. Do Black lives matter to you only when they serve your political purpose? Shouldn’t we be marching to get Black and brown children back safely into schools right now?

    I just watched the how to survive a plague documentary and the scene where people dump their loved ones’ ashes on the White House lawn had me bawling. Act up activism hits different in a pandemic. We need that fire and targeted rage again now.

    It’s notable that the overwhelmingly preventable death of 400k+ Americans hasn’t been more directly politicized, no one dumping their loved ones’ ashes over the White House fence. This pandemic is the most fundamentally social thing but its violence is also deeply individualized.

    Among the announcements on Biden's is a prominent commitment to consider climate change "as a national security issue" as below asserts. But is that a good thing?

    Too many people fail to realize that the Gamestop phenomenon can be incredibly stupid, deeply worrying, and very funny at the same time. Indeed, this applies to most things happening in the English-speaking world for years now
