My latest for Hechinger. Rural America takes another hit. Trump’s cuts to teacher training leave rural school districts, aspiring educators in the lurch hechingerreport.org/trumps-cuts-...

In case you hadn't noticed:

America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster. We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here.

you’re fired. wait you’re rehired. email us a list of things you’ve done today wait forget it you’re fired again. come back your job was important. you’re fired. or hired. come in to the office. wait the office has no computers go home. we are the department of government efficiency.

Every person who has ever experienced or studied domestic violence can easily recognize the punishment, gaslighting, and cruelty that Trump is exacting by withdrawing aid to Ukraine until it proves it really wants peace. It is disgusting and unforgivable.

You're not overwhelmed. You're under attack.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

"Your focus is resistance." As I am spinning out about the barrage of cruel and terrifying actions coming from our government right now, this is helping me stay centered. Focus is resistance. Where will I focus? Where will you focus? ❤️‍🔥

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.

“Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.
