The Trump administration is illegally trying to make it harder for future health care workers to obtain federal student loans. Higher education is expensive and our health care system is already under great strain. I'm suing because we can't afford fewer people in these fields.

We found that Jeff Bezos paid zero taxes in 2007 and 2011. In fact, he reported making so little in 2011 that he even claimed and received a $4,000 tax credit for his children. Revisit our 2021 story:

This. 100% this. They performatively complain about being taxed, but they don't move, don't sell. I suspect that it will become (if not already is) an inner circle billionaire flex to stay and pay. "Can you BELIEVE these taxes, Steve? Good thing I held my polymarket position on the Knicks..."

Yesterday Kier Starmer announced Labour will nationalise British Steel, and save 2700 jobs. Today, the Uni of Nottingham put 2700 staff at risk of redundancy. This is just one university. Across the UK 15,000 higher education jobs need saving. Where is the rescue package for our universities?

"as border policing extends the state’s power to inflict racial violence abolitionism must reject the denial of that freedom wherever it takes place—from policing & incarceration to forced removal, immigration detention, & entry bans—with a firm insistence that no one be ripped from their community"

The Broward judge was only in the job five months before he used this case to apply for the circuit position. The state AG has ranted for a year about ending surrogacy, calling it human trafficking.
