That $881 million DOGE claims it cut at the Department of Ed? Partially made up and doesn't factor in that many of the contracts, funds had already been spent. Amazing work by my colleagues @stephabaker.bsky.social Olivia Sawyer and Antoinette Flores #EduSky www.newamerica.org/education-po...

This is what higher ed administrators are reading this weekend. Basically, anything that could be perceived as involving race could result in the loss of federal funding. It's an expansive Dear Colleague letter from ED, to be sure. www.ed.gov/media/docume...

Excited to (finally) share that we've received a grant from AAAS to work on improving our faculty data infrastructure around sexual orientation and gender identity! This is a fraught time for doing LGBTQ+ affirming work but it makes it that much more urgent. www.aaas.org/news/five-po...

This period under Musk/Trump feels like early February in 2020—when a terrible thing was happening with breakneck speed, and the people paying close attention were hair-on-fire about it while the rest of the country carried on as normal.

Let's be strategic and help all those who are getting laid off. Perhaps we can create a list of job openings or offer intros based on your network. We are all in this together. Thoughts?

"... slashing and burning won’t improve matters. It’s just going to weaken the foremost truth squad in American education, the chief sponsor and funder of rigorous analysis, reliable data, and clear-eyed evaluations in a realm that needs more of those things, not less."

Look, we gotta keep beating this drum: THESE AREN'T CUTS, THEY'RE ILLEGAL IMPOUNDMENT Not only do "cuts" sound normal & suggest a proper legal process brought them about—which is a lie—but they also sound like something that fell out of the sky, a natural happening, rather than a unilateral decree

I think bringing back government workers is going to mobilize them to work together and stop this govt take. I hope it backfires

How can we capitalize on this moment for justice? Perhaps if we use vouchers to create libratory schools that validate Black and Brown children? I dunno I am trying to be positive ya'll

Hearing from a govt contractor that Dept of Education is terminating What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) contracts. WWC is a website that rigorously evaluates education policies, programs, and products to determine what's effective and not. It's an invaluable tool for school, district, state leaders
