New, from me: Trump finalized his Schedule F policy, allowing him to remove job protections from career civil servants.
The new rule is dishonest and unmoored from reality in its effort to formalize the politicization of the federal government 🧵

1000%. I had no idea how busy i would be
As a PhD student, I was told that "seniors" are always really busy, though I speculated, I really wasn't sure how this materialized. I'm not yet SSJ3 Senior, just like baby-senior, but one way it materializes is "Death by 1000 cuts" ⬇️

Why?
The authors provide two reasons:
First, economic strains leads individuals to compensate for their loss of legal revenues with illegal earnings.
Second, cancer patients face lower expected cost of punishment through a lower survival probability.
Wow!

I just came here to say that I'm 10 years out from my PhD and I'm "tenured" and the imposter syndrome is still strong. Maybe not for everything but for a number of aspects of my job.

Navigating non-public childcare closures with educators and parents sometimes feel like a headline that reads: “Higher wage earners pressure lower wage earners to work so that higher wage earners can keep earning their high wage."

Sometimes so-called “problem solvers” are so focused on solving a problem that they become a tad blind to other implications that solving the problem entail. Depending on who the problem solver is, some of those consequences disproportionally affect people in less powerful positions.

Moriarty: "A police officer of color who was off duty was boxed in by ICE - she's a citizen - they demanded to know who she was & see her papers. She was going to try to record it & they ripped the phone out of her hand. That happened to a cop. That's what's happening here on the streets of MN."

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

My electrician is a green card holder who's been here since he was a kid. He got married to a citizen, applied for citizenship, went to court for the papers and when he got there ICE kidnapped him and he's been locked up for a month.

Between 1979–2019, top pay (90th pct.) climbed 53%, middle only 23%, bottom (10th pct.) even lower 7%. (Productivity per hour climbed much more at 73%.)
But since 2019, fast gains at the bottom have already reversed about 1/3 of the rise in pay inequality.
