Listening to Chastity Lord speak at tonight’s Jeremiah Program Summit. Inspirational!!! Exactly the right leader for this trajectory-changing work on behalf of moms, their children, and their communities. Rochester MN is fortunate to have a JP campus.

Just confirmed with the University of St. Thomas that funding to train more special education teachers was *cancelled* because of Trump’s cuts. Why? Because Republicans are vacuuming up every dollar they can for massive corporate tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy. They don’t care who gets screwed.

Absolutely the best advice I've read so far. And highly likely the only way we get thru the firehose of bullshit being sprayed at us from now until November 7, 2028. 1,376 days.

I know there’s a lot happening, but this is critical: Study sections at the NIH have been shut down. ➡️ No reviews = No grants ➡️ No grants = No research ➡️ No research = No NIH This threatens the future of science & medicine. #MedSky #HealthPolicy #NIH

Great Expectations was designed to help people who grew up in foster care get their two-year degrees. And unlike many programs for former foster youth, there are no age limits.

IMHO everything can be traced back to greed - greed for property, for popularity, for power, etc. We have to find the lever(s) effective against greed, or they will continue to take. Unfortunately, science, information, explanation is not enough. What’s as powerful a motivator for good?

It was a 49% to 48% election. Fascism won by a hair. And it took Russian and MAGA bomb threats, a hoax regarding battleground-state police raids, an illegal Musk-funded lottery, $600M given to Trump by just 15 people, Netanyahu meddling in our politics, and Democrats staying home for it to happen.

The idea that you *must* coexist with and listen to people who are cruel, unjust, and just plain unpleasant to be around is the logic of abusers, by the way
