Document the hell out of everything. And keep the receipts (or in my students’ case, their graded papers that have been returned to them as proof that they were done and handed back). I tell my kids and my students this all the time.

i say this as someone with at least a mild background in cybersecurity — tiktok is now trump/fedgov spyware. you need to delete your account and app ASAP. just because the app isn‘t open doesn’t mean they won’t be harvesting your personal data to target you. queer folx get the fuck off that app

This should be big news, but it’s barely a whisper.
The Trump admin is focusing on the wrong problem. The fraud isn’t w/SNAP recipients, it’s with outside scammers.
USDA let outdated SNAP cards stay vulnerable, and families lost about $555 million in food benefits, not to “cheating,” but to theft.

We bought my parents’ house - the house I grew up in. Paid full market price - no “family discount” from my parents.
It hit me this morning that I’ve owned my house longer than my parents owned it.

An “only in Seattle” thing. Driving home from the grocery store, there was not a lemonade stand, but a coffee stand. Run by kids.

ICE and DHS agents are the ones making our communities unsafe. They have killed two people in Minnesota in the first month of this year. How does that make any of us safer?

Blistering piece on ed tech in @economist.com.
‘Although ed-tech companies tout huge learning gains, independent research has made clear that technology rarely boosts learning in schools—and often impairs it.’

Ed tech is profitable. It is also mostly useless
Independent research identifies few learning gains

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

I'm not going to ask if you're doomscrolling. Everything is hard right now. But you still need to eat some food, drink a glass of water, as well as time to rest and recover.
Try not to stay up too late tonight. Sleep deprivation will make everything you need to do harder, including helping others.

The kindness and goodness and sweetness of ICU nurses. They are taking care of people when everything is at its hardest and scariest.

Be helpful if you can.
Be prickly when you have to.
Be someone's light in the darkness.
Be the reason a forest is considered haunted.
But most of all, be kind and stay weird.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.
