Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

“The Fight to Win All Fights”: Students and Faculty Protest Trump Crackdown on Schools

HeadlineApr 18, 2025

On Thursday, protests took place on college campuses across the U.S. condemning the White House’s attack on education and students. This is a student at the University of California, Berkeley.

Sam Kaplan Pettus: “I think that we have something that we’re fighting for that is a little bit different than what we’ve been fighting for in the past. And that is our very right to keep fighting and our right to resist and our right to speak and learn and teach, even if it disagrees with the current political regime. And I think this is the fight to win all fights and that we need to show up in a way that is more powerful and more abundant than in the past.”
