Department of Education launched a DEI snitch portal if you want to flood it with spam. enddei.ed.gov

The People's Union USA, a grassroots group, is calling on Americans to join a national boycott by not shopping for 24 hours on Friday.

Wondering if your study section cancelled? I update this sheet daily. As of today, 56/124 study sections that should have met since Jan 2, 2025 have "not met as scheduled." docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Obviously this is bad and very stupid, but the tenor of this kind of Trump communique is very funny to me. It's a real HOA energy, just someone being annoying and small who knows they're being that way, and who more or less sees that as both their highest personal calling and the purpose of the job.

Thank you, to all of the special education organizations, journals, & scholars who have joined together to affirm our commitment to scientific integrity: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Let's save an educational database! Download any ERIC files posted 2024 or later. Use this search term: -ioqjae pubyearmin:2024 (Meaning "don't have this random gibberish" and "2024 or later") Everything before that is zipped already at eric.ed.gov?download

How pathetic that it has come to this!

We have a lost child alert. Yale Law School, your child is at the manager’s office. Please come pick him up before he burns it down.

a good part of me thinks that in addition to everything else, the reason they are scrubbing these stories is they do not want disadvantaged kids to believe they can aspire to anything other than their designated “black” or “hispanic” or “woman” job

1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%. I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

There are continuities between U.S. oligarchs past and present, and we can learn from past efforts -- like Reconstruction -- to break with them. Great historical thread.

Still looking for teachers who want to talk about scripted curriculum--and you can speak off the record!

Really interesting to see how ppl are reacting to the words of a Black trans woman activist in this moment........ Like idk maybe a Black trans person coming from a history of centuries-long international state oppression knows something about holding on to your identity in the face of all that.

Wondering what health data has been taken offline? KFF has you. (h/t @cynthiaccox.bsky.social)

The Trump administration is scrubbing the CDC’s website of documents on reproductive rights issues, sexual health, intimate partner violence, and more. I'm trying to save them. You can find the deleted docs at cdcguidelines.com - I'll be adding more over the weekend.

Jan 27, 2025: 80th Anniversary of liberating Auschwitz Jan 29, 2025: Trump announces building “migrant detention” (ie concentration) camps at Gitmo. Yep, that tracks… 😑

The USAF removed Tuskegee Airmen & Women Airforce Service Pilots of WWII from basic training curriculum. For 30 years I promised these women I would not let them ever be forgotten again. We worked for decades to have them remembered. The Airmen too. Knowledge is power. 🗃️ www.msn.com/en-us/societ...

Local New Jersey information: ICE is in New Brunswick, near Robert Wood Johnson Hospital, asking for IDs. For people who have been detained, the American Friends Service Committee is 973-474-9861.

In this moment of uncertainty, this I know for sure: schools are filled w educators who will move heaven & earth to protect kids & families “ICE is going to have to arrest me before they arrest your daughter” a principal told the mom, adding that they would lock her daughter in his office if needed

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

Good morning, school leaders! Happy Thanksgiving Week! The main thing this week is to make sure you, your team, and your teachers get some rest and relaxation. Do this by setting clear boundaries. Communicate that you will not be available (except for emergencies) and encourage your teachers to…

Sarah McBride: "It is an attempt to distract ... Every single time we hear them say the word 'trans,' look what they're doing with their right hand. Look at what they're doing to pick the pocket of American workers, to fleece seniors by privatizing Social Security and Medicare."
