"It's Been Weird and Scary": On the Front Lines of New College's Student-Led Rebellion Against Ron D
“It’s Been Weird and Scary”: On the Front Lines of New College’s Student-Led Rebellion Against Ron DeSantis
I jetted down to Sarasota for graduation day at my alma mater, where students are fighting back against a right-wing regime change that’s poised to wipe away the New College I once knew and loved.

Maya Wiley had never been to Sarasota, let alone the New College of Florida. This is not the kind of small, quiet, right-leaning beach city that a nationally known civil rights lawyer would typically drop into on a Thursday afternoon. The quirky public liberal arts school that’s nestled within it has operated for decades as a kind of counterculture bubble, barely known to anyone outside of its zip code. But here Wiley sits before the 2023 graduating class—except, she’s not on the campus. In response to the existential threats state Republicans have posed to the school’s very way of being, students have assembled at the Sarasota Art Museum for a commencement on their terms, a celebration of a community under attack.
Wiley’s set to deliver the evening’s keynote, waiting on the makeshift stage in her hot pink blazer, beside the rest of the event’s speakers. Among them are Helene Gold, the beloved college librarian who was abruptly fired just weeks ago after nearly five years of employment, and K.C. Casey, the commencement’s organizer and a member of the graduating class, whose red-and-black mullet and gold short shorts scream New College pride. This ceremony is for the students and their families—and the audience is filled with them—but the press is everywhere too. Even Norway’s public broadcaster, NRK, is hanging back with a camera crew.
Organized by a robust alumni network and funded by a social media campaign of supporters across the world, the cheekily titled [New] Commencement came together without the school administration’s approval—its shaggy vibe both a protest of the new New College and an affirmation of the old New College. Upon entering, guests select a pin stating their preferred pronouns and wear it proudly. Some parents arrive in suits and dresses; others, shorts and a T-shirt. Students show off elaborate costumes—a graduation tradition—while hairstyles come, quite literally, in every color of the rainbow, complementing the surrounding rainbow capes and flags. “I’m personally reprising my role as Rocky from The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” Casey says in their opening remarks. “But I wore a shirt this time because I know I’ve got some grandparents here.”
The mood is joyously defiant—a collective show of resistance following five relentless months of firings, crackdowns, and anti-LGBTQ+ policy. Wiley comments on this in her keynote address, telling students, “Your strength has not only mattered to you finding your full selves and your full voices and protecting them—what you have done is stood up and said, ‘I’m going to speak.” She adds: “You are not just standing for yourselves, you’re standing for all of us.” A procession follows—and then a frenzy as Wiley and the rest of the event’s rock stars mingle with the crowd. A kind of euphoria settles in that, at least for one more year, New College’s students graduated in style.

How Veterans Benefits Could Be Delayed in June by a US Default
How Veterans Benefits Could Be Delayed in June by a US Default
15 May 2023
Military.com | By Rebecca Kheel
Billions of dollars of veterans benefits could be imperiled if the U.S. defaults on its debts, though the full extent of the fallout is uncertain because of the unprecedented nature of a default.
About $12 billion in veterans benefits are expected to be paid out June 1 -- the same day the Treasury Department has named as the earliest day a default could happen if Congress doesn't act to avoid it.
A default would likely delay those benefits, but for exactly how long would depend on the Treasury's next move after a default, experts who spoke to Military.com said.
"There is significant uncertainty as to what would occur because we've never been there," said Rachel Snyderman, senior associate director of business and economic policy for the Bipartisan Policy Center, the Washington, D.C., think tank that estimated how much money in veterans benefits is due to be paid in June.

Philadelphia Inquirer hit by cyberattack causing newspaper’s largest disruption in decades
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Philadelphia Inquirer experienced the most significant disruption to its operations in 27 years due to what the newspaper calls a cyberattack.
The company was working to restore print operations after a cyber incursion that prevented the printing of the newspaper’s Sunday print edition, the Inquirer reported on its website.
The news operation’s website was still operational Sunday, although updates were slower than normal, the Inquirer reported.
Inquirer publisher Lisa Hughes said Sunday “we are currently unable to provide an exact time line” for full restoration of the paper’s systems.

E. Jean Carroll Bought Me A Dress
E. JEAN CARROLL BOUGHT ME A DRESS
By Bethany Schneider
May 10, 2023
In 1996 Donald Trump asked E. Jean Carroll to try on an outfit in a dressing room. He said he wanted to see what it looked like because he was considering buying it for another woman. When they were in the dressing room, as her testimony makes clear to me if not the jury, he raped her.
In 2019 she made her story public, and today, in 2023, in a civil trial, Donald Trump was found guilty of sexually abusing and defaming her.
In 1993, E. Jean Carroll bought me a dress.
I was twenty-three years old, and employed, in my first year out of college, at Elle Magazine. E. Jean was the new agony aunt, and her column needed letters from young women with real problems. One day she came down the line of cubicles and peeked in at me where I sat looking like something the cat dragged in, utterly failing to make sense of my life. “I think you can help me, Bethany,” she said.

Mississippi Free Press Receives National Izzy Award Named for Famed Journalist I.F. Stone

JACKSON, Miss.—The Mississippi Free Press received further recognition of its three years of news coverage during the prestigious Izzy Award ceremony on April 27.
The Park Center for Independent Media (PCIM) presented the Izzy Award to the Jackson-headquartered statewide news outlet in a virtual ceremony from Ithaca College in New York.
The award lauded “outstanding achievement in independent media” and is named after I. F. “Izzy” Stone, the dissident journalist who launched I. F. Stone’s Weekly in 1953 that questioned government deception, McCarthyism, the Vietnam War and racial bigotry.
Judges of the Izzy Award cited the Mississippi Free Press’ in-depth coverage of the water crisis in Jackson and the racist University of Mississippi donor scandal, as well as the women-run newsroom’s dogged demands for public access to open records and the systemic inequities from COVID-19 that hit Black women harder than any other group, including Black men.

Anna Wolfe and Mississippi Today win Pulitzer Prize for “The Backchannel” investigation
by Mississippi Today May 8, 2023
Mississippi Today reporter Anna Wolfe won the 2023 Pulitzer Prize for Local Reporting for her remarkable investigation “The Backchannel,” which uncovered the depth of the sprawling $77 million welfare scandal, the largest embezzlement of federal funds in the state’s history.
The investigation, published in a multi-part series in 2022, revealed for the first time how former Gov. Phil Bryant used his office to steer the spending of millions of federal welfare dollars — money intended to help the state’s poorest residents — to benefit his family and friends, including NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre.
Mississippi Today’s entire staff and several supporters gathered at Hal & Mal’s in downtown Jackson for the announcement on Monday afternoon and erupted in celebration when the news was announced.
“Anna Wolfe deserves this for so many reasons,” said Adam Ganucheau, editor-in-chief at Mississippi Today. “The late nights she spent poring through spreadsheets, the sheer number of roadblocks she faced from state officials, the thoughtfulness and care she put into her writing, the passion she always has for helping Mississippians — it’s been the absolute honor of my life to get an up-close look at how hard she works and how much she cares about our state.”
