115 years ago today, 146 workers — mostly young Jewish and Italian immigrant women — burned or jumped to their deaths at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory.

The Yiddish poet Morris Rosenfeld, known as the “poet laureate of the slum and the sweatshop,” wrote in a poem days later:
"On this Sabbath

Trump has launched an illegal regime change war.

When we abandon diplomacy, we choose destruction.
Imagine telling the world that you're liberating the women of Iran and one of the first things you do is blow up a school full of girls. Extraordinary.

Germany was once the center for academic achievement globally
The Nazi regime:
- expelled Jewish scientists
- politicized research
- criminalized academic freedom
- made universities unsafe places to think

- future generations of academics because the BBB has cut off financial aid for higher education
