“Statement from the American Nurses Association on Proposed Federal Loan Policy Changes”

www.nursingworld.org/news/news-re...
Excluding nursing from professional degree classification jeopardizes efforts to strengthen and expand the U.S. nursing workforce SILVER SPRING, MD – November 10, 2025 – The American Nurses Association (ANA) is concerned by the Department of Education’s exclusion of nursing from the definition of “professional degree” programs under forthcoming federal loan eligibility rules. This will severely restrict access to critical funding for graduate nursing education, undermining efforts to grow and sustain the nursing workforce. “Nurses make up the largest segment of the healthcare workforce and the backbone of our nation’s health system,” said Jennifer Mensik Kennedy, PhD, MBA, RN, NEA-BC, FAAN, president of the American Nurses Association. “At a time when healthcare in our country faces a historic nurse shortage and rising demands, limiting nurses’ access to funding for graduate education threatens the very foundation of patient care. In many communities across the country, particularly in rural and underserved areas, advanced practice registered nurses ensure access to essential, high-quality care that would otherwise be unavailable. We urge the Department of Education to recognize nursing as the essential profession it is and ensure access to loan programs that make advanced nursing education possible.”

This hidden provision is so crooked and selfish, it doesn't even apply to US Representatives. Just US Senators.

Look at this new outrage. To open govt, we're retroactively letting 8 Senators sue for $500K each over having had their J6 phone toll records looked at. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/10/u...

It's all hands on deck. I am shamelessly asking, one more time, for reposts and signal boost as this bird glides toward a landing in a few hours. It's gonna be a beautiful book, and there aren't going to be very many available afterwards!

In honor of National Poetry Day, the greatest parody rewrite of all time:
Screen cap of parodic version of William Blake's "The Tyger" that begins: Tyger! Tyger! Burning bright (Not sure if I spelled that right) What immortal hand or eye Could fashion such a stripy guy? What the hammer that hath hewn it Into such a chonky unit? Did who made the lamb make thee, Or an external franchisee?

Finally saw the Quay’s latest at Film Forum—all I could have hoped for. Oneiric, poetic, and a gorgeous film to peer into with all its glimmering landscapes, strange depths, and partially clothed bodies swimming in and out of focus.

One of the most consequential things Trump is doing. Deserves as much attention as the Epstein mess. But good luck with that. He is changing the policy so that greenhouse gases cannot be regulated and climate change can’t be addressed. Trump is killing the future.

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

Just called my US rep @repdangoldman.bsky.social to ask him to demand the House censure Ogles for this miserable, bigoted, anti-American, fascist attack - and to do everything he can to defend Mamdani and the rest of us. If you agree, please call your own rep asap.

Rep. Andy Ogles, a Republican from Tennessee, has sent a letter to Pam Bondi calling for Zohran Mamdani to be stripped of his citizenship and deported.
Andy Ogles: Zohran "little muhammad" Mamdani is an antisemitic, socialist, communist who will destroy the great City of New York. He needs to be DEPORTED. Which is why I am calling for him to be subject to denaturalization proceedings. Attached is my letter to @AGPamBondi.

MOCA published a book of Marjorie Cameron’s art in 2015 to coincide with a show of her work. It sold out and became a very rare book instantly. The Cameron Parsons Foundation has put up a PDF of the whole book for people without deep pockets to enjoy. static1.squarespace.com/static/661db...
