Happy 60th birthday to Head Start, which has helped put generations of Americans on the path to success from an early age.

We must keep fighting to protect Head Start and stop the Trump Administration from doing away with this critical program.

This is good news. And no, poor families do NOT have to have Netflix to access Sesame Street. Netflix will release episodes to PBS the *same day* they drop on Netflix, which is significantly better than the prior deal with HBO, which delayed episodes for 9 MONTHS before porting them over to PBS.
“Sesame Street” has found itself a new home.

Netflix announced that the decades-old public educational television program will premiere its 56th season on the global streaming giant, along with 90 hours of previous episodes.
‘Sesame Street’ is coming to Netflix with new streaming deal
“Sesame Street” will release episodes on both PBS Kids and Netflix later this year.

#PhD students are hearing this advice too and I know people who are pivoting. I would argue that the work they're defunding is probably more important now than it was a year ago.
There’s been some “advice” coming from some quarters for scientists not to focus on DEI-related funding cuts.

I wholly reject this concept.

Cutting programs designed to reduce science and healthcare disparities is as detrimental to science as anything else, both morally and functionally.

Is anyone keeping a timeline of events since January 20th?

I'm backfilling my five year journal, and I cannot believe the Potomac crash was less than a week ago... it feels like it's been longer!

This sense of time warping and generalized surreality reminds me of the early days of COVID.

He is cutting aid to South African to punish them for ending apartheid.
President Trump says he's cutting off "all future funding" to the Republic of South Africa for "confiscating land, and treating certain classes of people very badly" thus the US "won't stand for it, we will act."

Some fed employees have been advised to download their
Electronic Official Personnel Folder (eOPF) because they're hearing OPM is planning to cut off access tomorrow.

The folder includes all personal identifying info, performance reviews, benefits selections, raises.

Unclear why they'd do this.

What’s so scary about TikTok is that people with zero reading comprehension will “read” an article, jump to an inaccurate conclusion, and then make a video about it that then spreads misinformation like wildfire.
