Trump & the GOP want to gut federal education funding—right out of Project 2025. And for what? More tax cuts for billionaires. 📌 Less funding means fewer teachers, bigger class sizes and more struggling students—all while other countries invest more in their kids. Don’t Defund Public Schools

I think it’s a pretty full circle moment that I wrote a book about defending my public library and that book is trending (ebook AND audiobook) at that exact public library. Thank you to @bloomsburybooksus.bsky.social, @sarahnfisk.bsky.social, and @thetobiasagency.bsky.social!

Trump and musk plan to fire 83,000 from the department of veterans affairs. Remember all those times the GOP said we couldn’t care for refugees because we needed to take care of our veterans first? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

if you buy used books and want to avoid amazon where possible, check out bookfinder.com you can search essentially every marketplace in one go so you can, e.g., find the same used copy for sale, from the same seller, on biblio.com or ebay instead of amazon or abe (owned by amazon)

GOP's Save Act would require a birth certificate that matches the person registering to vote. However, 69M married women have changed their legal name, so it will not match their birth certificate. That tracks with the GOP's goal of stripping women of their right to vote… What about men? #SheShed

What a wonderful time in history to have a science denier and vaccine skeptic in charge of all US Health agencies. 🥴

READING FOR PLEASURE has such a powerful impact on kids, it should be at the heart of everything you do with them, every single day. Always show how them how much YOU love books. Read books to them, talk about books with them, help them find books to love - and it will change their lives! #literacy

Cutting funding to NASA and giving government grants to SpaceX may not have been so "efficient" after all.

This is criminal.

Oooh! Oooh! I know! Mar-a-Lago.

Everything Musk touches…..every single thing! Another SpaceX exploded yesterday raining debris into the ocean. He has no business in our government especially access to our sensitive information. cbsaustin.com/news/local/t...

I don't think the average American grasps how concerned the average Canadian is about the annexation threat. A lot of Americans are brushing it off a backburner ridiculous thing from Trump -- but here in Canada, our prime minister is literally telling us tariffs are part of an annexation plan.

National security considerations are waived when it is better for Trump. National security is weaponized when it is better for Trump. This isn't how national security works.

Awful. We need the trees. The animals who live there need them. The planet need them.

Why policies & resources must reflect diversity: “Stereotypes "are actually a stronger predictor of interest in STEM fields than a child's actual abilities in STEM," she said. "Stereotypes can impact interests and future career directions." #edusky #women www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Tesla, Amazon, Meta, Apple, and Alphabet could rake in $75 billion of tax giveaways after cozying up to the Trump administration. Let’s find out how much they spent lobbying for this potential windfall. And let’s find out how it could affect their executive compensation.

The Pentagon has marked 26,000 photos for deletion to purge evidence of diversity. The photos include the 1st black pilots in WWII, the 1st women to pass infantry training & the plane that dropped the Hiroshima bomb because it’s called the “Enola GAY”. This is real. We’re living in a horror story.

"The very fact that we cut this item constitutes proof that it must have been fraudulent or wasteful" reminds me of "The very fact that our soldiers killed those people means that they must have been terrorists."

For years I've been explaining that presidents don't control the economy; they get too much credit when things go well, too much blame when things go poorly But right now it *really* feels like Trump is trying to prove this wrong.

I find it a but troubling and underreported that the incoming head of NIH (who i alresdy knew was s charlatan) says he wants to take COVID vaccines off the market? www.theatlantic.com/science/arch...

This is not normal.

The Trump administration is eliminating a preference for fiber Internet in a $42.45 billion broadband deployment program to reduce spending on the most advanced wired networks while directing more money to Starlink. Starlink could obtain $10 billion to $20 billion under the new rules. slashdot.org

MEUSER: You've got Trudeau saying how the president is making a dumb move. That's bad diplomacy. SANCHEZ: I'm not sure how it's good diplomacy to say that a neighboring country should be the 51st state and that you're gonna impose economic hardship to achieve that goal.

“We Finns know Russia. Russia shares a land border with 14 countries. Only one of them has constantly remained an independent democracy through the Second World War and the Cold War, and that's Finland” Elina Valtonen Minister for Foreign Affairs of Finland

It's long been known that grades and test scores don't predict career success, or much of anything beyond later grades and test scores (see below). Now a new metaanalysis of 117 studies (unfortunately paywalled) confirms that college grades - much less those […] [Original post on sciences.social]

This is unconscionable.
