This is a travesty & a nightmare. The US was a founder of @gavi.org. It lowers global vaccine costs, has vaccinated 1B children, & averted 19M deaths. This pull out will cost 100s of thousands of children's lives a year - and RFK Jr will be personally responsible. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

Aaarrrhhh! @jonsopel1.bsky.social @newsagents.bsky.social pip is a benefit you get even if IN WORK!!! People on pip pay tax, they work, it’s a benefit to help pay the extra costs of disability. Minor issues don’t qualify you for anything. Even with major ones it’s seriously hard to get

A fascinating map from @donnermaps.bsky.social overlaying Tuesday's Dem primary results with a map of the NYC subway system. Inspired by an astute observation from @kleinman.bsky.social, who noted that Mamdani did better in areas served by the subway while Cuomo did better in car-centric areas.

So Oak's new AI lesson planner has really got me thinking. Who exactly is it aimed at? My guess is that the most likely people to use it are new teachers and those with limited subject knowledge on a topic. So how well does it do the job if that's you? I thought I'd try it out...

If you are short of ideas for teaching but think AI is not the way you want to go, you might want to check out SHP's new #curriculumpaths project. Browse units planned by other professionals, complete with their rationales and ethical underpinnings! www.padlet.com/cpaths/hub #historyteacher

Vaccination schedules on the CDC website have already started changing under RFK Jr. So we published a guide to the evidence-based vaccine recommendations in place *before* all 17 members of the advisory panel were abruptly dismissed by the new admin. www.scientificamerican.com/article/see-... 🧪

I'm now obsessed with this image of sailors on the deck of a U.S. Navy gunboat during the Civil War. The guy with the banjo. The guy with the pipe. The guy reading the newspaper. The guy holding a dog. catalog.archives.gov/id/526207

www.theguardian.com/politics/liv... Tories are offering to support. Revealing!

How do they get away with this? The bill they passed cuts Medicaid by $793 BILLION. $793 BILLION. It's in the bill. They wrote it. Their own budget office says 10 million people will lose Medicaid coverage. Just wild.
