Americans across the country this weekend celebrated Juneteenth, marking the relatively new national holiday with cookouts, parades and other gatherings as they commemorated the end of slavery after the Civil War. While many have treated the long holiday weekend as a reason for a party, others urged quiet reflection on America's often violent and oppressive treatment of its Black citizens.

If Congress approves a debt ceiling deal negotiated by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and President Joe Biden, payments will resume in late August, ending any lingering hope of a further extension of the pause that started during the COVID pandemic. Even if the deal falls through, payments will resume 60 days after the Supreme Court decision.
Esmeralda Sánchez sabía que algo no estaba bien en Muncie, Indiana. Como mexicana-americana de primera generación viviendo en Indianápolis de los 2 hasta los 29 años, Sánchez se había acostumbrado a una ubicación con una cultura vibrante y viva. En el centro de la ciudad, ella dijo que había varias iglesias que ofrecían la misa en español, y taquerías también, entre otras cosas. Para ella, ver recursos como estos le demostró que había una comunidad activa a su alrededor, algo que ella dijo que un solo restaurante mexicano no puede hacer.

As a first-generation Mexican-American living in Indianapolis from age 2 to 29, Sánchez had become used to a location with a vibrant and lively culture.

When you walk into the Ball State Track and Field locker room, it looks as you would probably expect. There are lockers along the wall filled with gear. Two couches and stools help fill the space. But laying in the corner are two things that stick out: two water guns. Some might ask, what are water guns doing in the corner of a college locker room?
