A thing you can do today: call your state AG if they're part of the group trying to end the ADA. Tell them disabled people matter and the ADA is imoortant. Find their info at reps.fyi. 👇

THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION IS A DEPARTMENT CREATED BY STATUTE; IT CANNOT BE ELIMINATED BY EXECUTIVE ORDER! EXECUTIVE ORDERS CANNOT REPEAL STATUTES! JUST LIKE DEPARTMENTS CANNOT BE CREATED BY EXECUTIVE ORDER!

Passing on a note from a colleague: People with federal student loans should download their files IMMEDIATELY. These files are currently on the studentaid.gov website, which may get deleted if Trump follows through with his EO to shut down DOE

From @aaup.bsky.social, what to do if ICE is on your campus.

Recommendations for Organizing on Your Campus Engage members via a petition, open letter, high-participation meeting, in-person demonstration, or other collective action to demand that your campus administrators: 1. Not comply with ICE to detain or deport students, faculty, or staff unless legally required to do so. 2. Ensure that noncitizens understand the difference between an …

It was truly something to be a teenager & early adult between the fall of the Berlin Wall and the fall of the World Trade Center. That’s not just a nostalgic idealization of youth; we were in a moment that’s impossible to explain now.

I just want to be in middle school and play the Sega dreamcast for the first time again, instead of wondering if I'm going to be forced to live under authoritarianism.

I'm starting to think about my Christmas list and always enjoy the Wirecutter recommendations, but idk about that Target markup...
A listing from the 2024 Wirecutter White Elephant Gift Guide. Image of a silicone wine glass holder that can secure to any smooth surface - in case you need to have a glass of wine in the shower or bath as one does. The price from Amazon is $13. The price from Target is $68,508.

A fancy Pegasus
A black and white tuxedo cat lying on a rainbow colored rug. He is positioned in a way that looks like he’s leaping through the air like a Lipzzaner stallion - he’s very graceful and his tail is curled like a question mark.
