This is the third specific cut/freeze/closure I have heard about in the last couple weeks that is/will be DIRECTLY affecting kids in Marion. This is not philosophical. This is not theoretical. This is real damage. And it didn’t have to happen. See you April 5 on the Courthouse Square? #HandsOff

Really good:
I wrote about the practical strategic necessity of doing "impossible" things, the moral and strategic emptiness of making the middle your destination, and the way persuasion requires vision, and vision requires standing for something.

Can we get one of those vans with the megaphones on it and just ride around reading this? Or maybe replace the music on an ice cream truck with it? Make it into posters and glue them up in the city. Paint it on the roadways. Scream it from the street corners. Because no one is coming to save us.
If you can accept that Ukraine caused this war and that Russia is a victim, you will now believe anything. You have discarded free will and liberty. You have sacrificed Christian discernment and the ability to assess truth.
You are a slave of tyranny.

Lily Zheng, author of "Reconstructing DEI," observes that if a company is able to eliminate its DEI initiatives overnight (in deference to the Trump-Musk regime), that raises serious questions about the depth and sincerity of those initiatives.

Autistic people have always been here. If you or your children are autistic, you probably have family and relatives with traits that were overlooked or explained away. Read books like NeuroTribes or Not Even Wrong for examples of autistics in history.

They are literally erasing women in STEM. For all of you who think the leopards aren’t going to eat YOUR face …
This profile has been scrubbed from the site. Rose Ferreira grew up without reliable electricity, immigrated to NY, then survived homelessness and cancer on her way to NASA. She was so moved by images from the Webb telescope she wept. This is what’s at stake

See now I’m starting to think that these people want a machine to summarize things for them because when a human does it, the human uses words like “no” and “that would hurt people” and “that’s illegal.”

They're going to illegally dismantle the Department of Education and strip millions of students of student loans, funding for students with disabilities, etc.
They want to destroy public education.

Closing the agency would require congressional approval, so the new administration hopes to diminish it in the meantime.
