Many immigrants I've interviewed for my podcast have shared that they initially came for higher education opportunities in the US.

Yes, and those who have stayed have enriched our churches, our communities, and our workplaces. Truly tragic that the admin does not see the benefit of this.

Thank you Dorothy and Kristin for sharing this very sobering article even though it unfortunately confirms my concerns regarding ongoing medical research in the US.

These decisions are not only deeply shortsighted, but deeply discouraging for the many families who live with diagnosed health conditions that are and will be affected by the cuts to education and medical research.

That is so correct. Of course the Dept. of Ed or any dept of the govt could stand to be more streamlined and cut the fat but this is cutting the muscle and into the bone.

And today, Thursday March 20, Trump is signing an order to totally close the Dept of Education. Incredible. https://hest.com/collections/mattress/products/foamy?variant=39596236177489
