Absolutely! At my last teaching job: almost all undergrads worked at least one job (sometimes more), many had caretaking duties, a high percentage of first gen students. I related to them well-- I worked 35 hours a week throughout my undergrad degree (a shift manager in a cafe then as a secretary).

"There are more than 19 million college students in the US. Most are well removed from corridors of wealth+power..43% of undergrads attend community college. 25% live with their parents." a listicle for everyone, especially for the NYT editors themselves to learn www.nytimes.com/2025/08/25/u...

There was a moment in “Criticism LTD” about which I received 76 emails. At the outset of this episode I asked Caroline Levine about that moment & her answer was 🔥🔥🔥

See SUNY University Faculty Senate Resolution 198-05-1 from last fall, which quotes a @rockefellerinst.bsky.social study showing a return of $8.67 on the dollar for SUNY in 2020-2021 and a $31B economic impact. www.sunyufs.us/voting-and-a...

Disappearing people to avoid the jurisdiction of the court in which they were taken by the state is authoritarian to the core and runs afoul of the spirit of Article III, the Due Process Clause, and the principles that emerged from the Glorious Revolution and the American Revolution. Arbitrary rule.

You cannot underestimate the trauma of these EOs. "Witnesses said the person was wrapped in a body-length transgender pride flag. The transgender veteran hanged themselves by jumping from the garage... The veteran had been discharged from the VA’s inpatient psychiatry unit on Jan. 21."
