How it’s going for IRS employees today.

Sorry KUNM audience for the show stopping at 14m in. There will be dead air. And the full @thechildrenshour.bsky.social on sleep is now posted at our website all day.

What a great day to learn about the science of sleep. We keep on educating on @thechildrenshour.bsky.social and this show is one you don’t want to sleep through. 😂 Find us in nearly 225 radio stations, or catch the livestream at 9am MT on ChildrensHour.org Podcast releases tomorrow.

Gimme a break. How much in lawsuits and grift are being spent by the Feds defending Prezident Musk’s unconstitutional EOs?

Maybe this is a dumb question, but aren’t all these firings illegal? Like couldn’t Fed employees sue ?

Wouldn’t it be great to vote for this guy 👇🏼 for President someday?

Today is the day that we find out what language the National Endowment for the Arts will permit in grant applications going forward. My guess is censorship just like NSF. Will post more later.

During Covid, we made a musical on The Children’s Hour @thechildrenshour.bsky.social with our Kids Crew. It seems like it’s a really good time to remember ICKY: A Radio Musical which is only 35 minutes long. Lyrics penned by Hakim Bellamy. Check it out at childrenshour.org/ICKY

Let me help you with having a great Saturday. I made you a radio show to learn about the extraordinary life of Ella Jenkins. It livestreams at 9am MT at ChildrensHour.org or is on the air right now at dozens of radio stations. Lift and fuel your spirit with me. 🫶🏼

Ella Jenkins will soothe your soul this week on @thechildrenshour.bsky.social Celebrate the First Lady of Children’s Music.

I suppose it’s time to rerun our Understanding Vaccines episode. childrenshour.org/understandin...

Avalanche warning fits the mood.

Now Apple Maps has to be deleted and given a one star review. The Gulf of America is the big space between the ears of fascists.

On this date in 1928, in the pages of JUDGE magazine, regular cartoonist/humor columnist Ted Geisel submits an illustrated piece called "The Origin of Contract Bridge," and attributes the piece to "the Eminent Philologist, Dr. Seuss." It's the first time the name appears in print.

“The Constitution alone cannot save U.S. democracy.” I urge @repstansbury.bsky.social @senatorheinrich.bsky.social @repgabevasquez.bsky.social to read this and share with their colleagues. www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...

Just gave Google Maps a 1 star review for inaccurate place names. What other map app do you like?

Did not have “NSA are wimps” on my Hellscape Bingo card.

Actually @sen-martinheinrich.bsky.social we REI Members do not support this cretin. Neither should you! Know your allies in nature- this one is a snake.

Stupor Bowl. Does it really matter when your neighbors are being rounded up and sent to Guantanamo and some ketamine addict has stolen your social security number?

Getting rid of DEI initiatives also gets rid of things like accessibility ramps, braille in elevators, and basically everything related to treating people with disabilities as equals in this country. It’s worth mentioning that 50% of us will be disabled at some point in our lifetime.

Took a peek at the ABQ Journal’s new editor’s opinion column and I see she wholly embraces an unelected Musk taking over the federal government, claiming the Fed workforce needs to be slashed. Talk about out of touch with New Mexico! Sheesh. Sorry I looked.

Pay attention to this. Our nation was built on genocide. We won’t let it happen again.

New Mexicans: call our Senators and tell them to join the filibuster! Ben Ray Lujan: (202) 224-6621 Martin Heinrich: (202) 224-5521

Please tell me my guys @senatorheinrich.bsky.social and Ben Ray Lujan are there.

So did they threaten your family or something @fetterman.senate.gov to make you dance with the devils?

We love our Black History is American History show on @thechildrenshour.bsky.social which broadcasts this week. Patreon.com/thechildrenshour

Democrats, do you remember how to filibuster? Recess is for children. Keep working.

Trying to do my patriotic duty and calling my senators but all I get is disconnected with “user busy” note. Even the Capital switch board is doing this. Anyone else able to get through?

Elon Musk is a terrible president.

The Children’s Hour @thechildrenshour.bsky.social serves a BIPOC community of kids directly here in NM and we’re syndicated on Native Voice One. Like many other nonprofits, we will need to skip Federal grants to continue to best serve our communities. Contributing listeners: you save the day. 🫶🏼

I wrote about Musk and this bureaucratic coup as plainly as I could. There's reporting in here & the particulars are overwhelming but what's happening is so clear: He's not trying to run the federal govt like a software company He's trying to turn it into a political weapon. (gift link)

The kids’ music Grammy nominees this year were pretty great across the board. I am delighted that @luckydiaz.bsky.social won with an album that is part of a career of highlighting the joy and wonder and power of immigrants. www.billboard.com/music/awards...

Elon Musk is NOT: - An elected official - An appointee confirmed by the Senate - Or even a legit fed So why the hell has he been given access to fire federal employees, sensitive gov data, and federal payment systems. He must be stopped.

Hey take a break from the stress of the news and tune into The Children’s Hour where you will learn more than you ever knew about eagles. We stream our shows at 9amMT ❤️🦅 We are public radio!

At the time of his death in 1991, Dr. Seuss was in talks to bring OH, THE PLACES YOU'LL GO! to the screen, envisioning it as a mash-up of his characters. At age 86, however, he ran out of steam in pursuing it and the project was abandoned. It'll be interesting to see where Chu goes with it.
