I believe the point that students need to know that their schools support them was just resoundingly affirmed www.bostonglobe.com/2025/12/09/m...

And it’s not like the program was generous to begin with! I lost access to SNAP b/c submitting and resubmitting medical expenses and having them pretend I hadn’t got too exhausting.

For my newsletter, I wrote about that college essay scandal that's gone viral and what everyone is seeming to miss: It's about ATTACKING TRANS PEOPLE!!! www.burnsnotice.com/that-viral-e...

i’m genuinely so convinced all of this has been a planned operation by the student and her mother (who is commenting on this publicly, and associated closely with the republican party), and big far right propaganda account going all in on it. this is designed to oust trans people from public life
