Grateful to adapt our new paper on refugee family separation @ersjournal.com into a post for the Council on Contemporary Families. I hope it’s readable & useful for teaching courses on family, inequality, immigration, & policy. thesocietypages.org/ccf/2025/06/...

We tested ~2000 people, and found broad acceptance, not polarization.
The public doesn't echo elite battles.

1) Geospatial trends: Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are common in Manhattan; the opposite is true for Yorkshire Terriers.
Not thinking of endowment per capita here, but how to tell a story about higher ed that doesn't focus on a handful of highly atypical institutions.
I'm not sure you can tell a great public story about Harvard. But there's another story to be told about what a "war on higher ed" actually looks like.
Screenshot of visualization from the financial times showing the size of university endowments relative to the total. The most visible names are Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Princeton, MIT, and the University of Texas.
We need one of these charts but for what percent of students attend Ivy League schools. www.ft.com/content/6300...
X post by Amy Nixon (@texasrunnerDFW ), featuring a verification badge. The post reads, "The USA is weird now. If you're a person under 30, you probably think it's normal but that's because you don't know. Trust me. It's weird."

The constant illegality is exhausting. And the extended nature of all this is going wear people down, as what was initially shocking becomes par for the course.
Listen to our latest episode, recorded live! We talk with chefs Norma Listman and Saqib Keval about historically informed food, how to run a justice-based restaurant, and their recent (controversial) Chef's Table feature. This one is particularly good. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...
