As bad as it all is, it still hits different when you’ve met and talked to the people others are trying to diminish or erase.
Nicole Malachowski and so many others deserve our efforts to not let those responsible succeed.

Point of clarification: I see some private school supporters who think they would get their choice of school if public schools went away.
Friend, no. It isn’t your choice at that point.
Private school means they choose to accept your kid, which means they might not.
If that happens, then what?
Of all the things being said, the one that has left me the most dumbfounded: “Yeah, but a lot of presidents have done what is happening now.”
No, friend. They didn’t.
Anyone talking about real endgames in terms of what Musk plans to do with all of the data he’s collecting? He’s going to use it, yes, but it seems really shortsighted and aiming too low to say “just to rip off people”.
What are truly meaningful uses of the data he has? New systems he controls?
Good luck.

Not that we should be surprised, but if I am a public educator, I wouldn’t expect much support from the DOE from here on.
It has been kneecapped/only in name at this point.
Teachers, you’re going to have to find strength in numbers and stand up for what you know is right by your students.

We get data *from* the WHO. Without this, we're flying blind with data regarding evolution of infectious agents globally, putting us behind if we need to develop vaccines & treatments, just for one aspect. This puts the whole country at risk.
Always and forever.
Fear continues to rise on this.

May I recommend setting up a Proton mail and not using your government work email to file a complaint. And don't do it during your tour of duty hours. Document everything. This isn't legal advice. Just advice from a friend.
You don’t have to be angry to be steel in your resolve.
Doing the right thing and treating all people the right way are loud in their own right.
Be an effective loud.

This is what I hope every institution, group, etc. is doing. Backup on everything. Keep it in storage. Plug it back in eventually.
Needed to hear/see/read this more than I knew. It let me take a breath. It let me know that the entire system isn't ready to simply fall in on itself.
Not yet, anyways.
*_ Pam Hemphill said she planned to refuse Trump's pardon. (PHOTO: KYLE GREEN FOR WSJ) Pam Hemphill, of Idaho, who served 60 days in prison after pleading guilty to misdemeanor charges, said she planned to refuse the presidential pardon.
"It'd be an insult to the Capitol Police and the rule of law, and to our nation," she said. "I pleaded guilty because I was guilty. I don't want to be a part of contributing to them trying to rewrite history-that January 6 was not an insurrection. It was, it was a riot. And I think taking a pardon is like a message that what happened that day was OK."
This is an amazing quote, from a Jan 6 prisoner who is refusing Trump’s pardon.

Mr. Trump’s executive order indicates that in 30 days, all federal agencies will be required to confirm the immigration status of the parents before issuing documents like a passport.
If you are a visa holder/temp resident in the U.S., and your child was born here and doesn't have a passport, GET A PASSPORT FOR THEM IMMEDIATELY. Like, make the appointment this week.

“A study published last year in JAMA Network, a publication of the Journal of the American Medical Association, found that 22% of cancer patients did not receive the care their doctors prescribed because of authorization delays or outright denials.”
