Ok. Then let it die. Because theft is theft. And even worse if you’re profiting from the crime.

I can tell you based on multiple conversations I've pushed myself to have with the other parents at my kids' activities: most people absolutely do NOT know how many local jobs are supported by Federal research grants

say it again: 4 million people work in higher ed, the largest employer in 10 states, second largest employer in 10 more, and in 60 of the 100 biggest cities ROI for NIH and NSF for local economies is conservatively 4x, often close to 10x demolishing higher education is economic sabotage

"Women are PIs on 58% of the canceled grants, although they are PIs on only 34% of all active NSF grants. Similarly, Blacks are PIs on 17% of the terminated grants, although they make only 4% of the total pool. Hispanic PIs and those with disabilities were twice as likely to lose a grant."

In the 14 years one professor has worked at Broward College, his salary has risen from $56k to $67k — or declined by 15% when adjusting for inflation. To cover the bills, he now teaches as many as 10 classes a semester. @adriennelu.bsky.social shares compelling stats on #HigherEd salary stagnation.

This. They want to take away childcare and vaccines and public schools and Medicare and Medicaid and Social Security so women have to stay home to care for their loved ones and so men--and women who have to work for pay--are even more dependent on their employers than they are now.

It's taken me a long time to call myself disabled, despite officially carrying said title per the VA - ableism is real. It took even longer to voice my needs of my kindred & in my community in lieu of illness/disability even though there's so many SHITTY responses when you do. The battle is real.

My daughter’s speech therapist went out of business because Medicaid reimbursement rates were too low. We do not have Medicaid. I’m going to keep posting this until people understand that when Medicaid gets cut everyone loses services.

Dr Baker consistently, unambiguously contextualized the POLITICS of the moment. All the data policies etc — they’re all against a backdrop of illegal, unchecked political power grabs. I really appreciated that gut check. It’s hard for academics to accept but it’s imperative that we do so

Wow! Each $1 spent on Universal Pre-Kindergarten generates between $3-$20 dollars in aggregate earnings. That's enough to offset the costs of Universal Pre-Kindergarten through higher tax revenues.

What can you do to impact data quality if you use external data? ✔️ Create and document a standard process for extracting data ✔️ Collect existing documentation (e.g., codebooks) & update as needed ✔️ Perform checks and ask questions when things don't make sense ✔️ Offer suggestions for improvements

This is an absolute disaster. If we don't stop this, they will turn NSF into a pawn of the Trump administration. There will be no research on climate, biodiversity, or anything that isn't eugenics or AI or how to more efficiently destroy the planet for profit. This cannot be allowed to happen.
