Please join us in congratulating @CEU_iUfU on receiving the 2024 Brown Democracy Medal! Invisible University's work follows a long tradition of underground universities as acts of democratic defiance amid conflict and rising authoritarianism. psu.edu/news/liberal-a…

"In the last few years, we have come to understand that democracy is hard work, that it requires a lot from all of us, and that it's fragile." - @cbeem1 in the @AP as part of a story on a new Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll. wfmz.com/news/americans…

I get why everyone is interested in the lost sub, I really do. But around 700 people are estimated to have died in the migrant boat sinking off Greece, while the Greek coast guard did nothing. The contrast in media headlines & rescue resources is simply staggering.
