Re the Dep’t of Education : I don’t think people who want it to go away know what it does. Here’s one thing. When we moved from NY to Utah we told the new principal that we wanted to have a 504 meeting for our kid who is a Type-1 diabetic. She said “Why? It’s not like she’s in a wheel chair.” 1/

Sharing this with permission. I have gotten similar messages from several Canadian followers as well. Meta has blocked Canadians from seeing news articles we post. They get a “This content is not available in Canada.” Anyone know what is behind this censorship?

A friend drove two hours today for her breast cancer chemotherapy only to learn it was canceled due to NIH cuts. Clinical trial ended midstream. No treatment, no restart, no plan, no information. Her bro-in-law's chemo was also canceled.

Sure hope the Jewish organizations that got behind the position "DEI defines Jews as privileged white people and is antisemitic to the core, therefore it needs to be abolished whole cloth" are feeling proud of themselves right now.

DOGE has spent the last six weeks on a supposed crusade to audit the government and stop fraud, waste, and abuse. But two federal auditors with years of experience say that DOGE’s actions are the furthest thing from what an actual audit looks like.

No I will not debate you on Palestine. It's a genocide. The UN, the Special Rapporteur, OxFam, Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, Doctors Without Borders, multiple US state department officials, the Lemkin Institute, and B'Tselem all say it's a genocide. I don't debate flat earthers either.

88% (!) of major U.S law firm partners are white and nearly 75% are men. And more than 50% of firms report having zero Black partners. These numbers are even worse when you look at equity partners. This action by the EEOC is nothing short of disgusting. www.eeoc.gov/newsroom/eeo...
