What a week. We've been covering fast-moving national news through a local lens, from Trump's refugee entry pause to fears among international students and the impact of a federal grants freeze. Locally, we explored inclusionary zoning, property assessments and the area's first potential queer history landmark. We closed the week with a first-person essay on bridging division by reconnecting with community from the ground up.
