Tonight's city council tl;dr
We had a powerful public portion where cassidy read the names of countless people who have died whilst being unsheltered in the city.
So, it turns out if we corporatize, de-professionalize, and privatize higher education, bad things happen (e.g., devaluing education, rights, & freedoms).
If only we would commit to democratize, unionize, and prioritize it, so that it is truly & meaningfully "higher education."
📢 BREAKING 📢
Mountain State Justice has filed a lawsuit in the Northern District of West Virginia against the City of Morgantown for violating the First Amendment rights of its citizens by enforcing an unconstitutional panhandling ban.

Here's the thing. I was trying to explain the difference last night between what the law allows and what justice is. The law allows powerful people to use it against less powerful people, usually. The law is not a neutral object. It's humans doing things to other humans.
I just saw a Ryan White for WV Intermediate Court of Appeals commercial. I know nothing about who is running for this position, but I'm initially not inclined to vote for someone who plays basketball in jeans.
Dawn Staley says trans women should be allowed to play women’s sports. Says she knows she’s going to get heat now before the biggest game, and she’s okay with that.
(I believe it was Outkick that asked the question.)
What an incredible statement of inclusivity from Dawn. Wow.
Eliminating the income tax overwhelming benefits the wealthy and comes at the expense of vital public services. We’re already seeing that happen #WVGovForum
.@WVUWBB has had three head coaches in three years. At first this season, there were some doubts. Then the team gelled into one of the best defenses in #NCAAWBB. And then it locked down Iowa on Monday.

Mark Kellogg was asked postgame about how #WVU can take that next step as a program. His response was he knows it's year one but he wants this to not be the end, but rather the beginning of something special in Morgantown
Full answer:
I’m so incredibly proud of the @WVUWBB team. It was an honor traveling to cheer you on this weekend. And you played damn good ball.
YALL put WV on the map and they better put some respect on your names!!
Season tickets are on sale! Show them some love.
West Virginia put the women’s hoops world on notice
The Mountaineers hung with one of the best teams in the country and one of the greatest players of all time and they did so with a large free throw and foul discrepancy
Mark Kellogg proved his team belonged on that stage
Honestly, not many predicted WVU would hang with Iowa. However, it was pretty predictable Iowa would get every call imaginable to get Caitlin Clark the win in her final home game and keep her story going as long as possible.
Incredibly impressive performance by @WVUWBB.
Had Iowa frustrated, flustered and on the ropes.
To take that team to the final minute in their sold out building…#WVU earned a lot of respect nationally tonight.
The future is bright with @CoachKellogg12 and this program.
