Yesterday, @lukejmacy and I won first place for investigative reporting at the @cincyspj awards in the professional category! We spent months working on our story about the resignation of Miami’s provost, and it’s the greatest learning experience I’ve had at TMS

When President Clinton banned assault rifles in 1994, mass shootings dropped by 43%. After Republicans let the ban expire in 2004, they increased by 243% — please don’t tell me bans don’t work, because I don’t want to hear it.
BREAKING // Miami's faculty announced their intent to unionize at the first AAUP chapter meeting of the year. The group cites a lack of shared governance and the loss of 21% of full-time faculty in its decision.
It’s weird because just a few weeks ago conservatives were howling that if we left Afghanistan, women would be punished for their sexual choices by a repressive religious regime out to control their bodies. Imagine.
