God protect these students. The amount of force arrayed against their nonviolent protest is obscene.

The reporting from WKCR-FM NY is stunning. Students journalist doing war zone-like reporting from their own campus. It’s a heartbreaking listen, but also inspiring because they are pros who are holding back no punches about the gravity of the moment.

I can't emphasize it enough: Healthcare prices are fake. Never, ever pay the first bill in full. Make a good-faith effort and call the provider to get on the record a request for a reduced bill. This was for an urgent care visit while I was uninsured: from $420 to $102.
