The Chevron ruling today feels more "late stage empire" than anything else. Congress is increasingly broken, now the administrative state is radically withered down. I am generally optimistic but the ability for the state to govern is unwinding before our eyes.

This is a reality countless Black and Brown students are faced with every day.
These ongoing attacks on DEI are becoming increasingly outlandish.
Iowa’s 3 public universities are closing their DEI offices
Iowa State’s president said they’ve established learning communities so that ‘a young man, young white man, from rural Iowa, could find the place where they could belong’
