#education #history all of this is awful; however, when you actively start restricting the use of primary source material from educators that is particularly chilling.

Congrats to team Europe for winning the Ryder Cup. Historic and well deserved.
Our fans were disgraceful. An embarrassment to the US team and the game of golf.
No class, dignity or grace…just like their cult leader in the White House.

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

Why Did the Novel-Reading Man Disappear? www.nytimes.com/2025/06/25/s...
Perhaps it’s naïve but I believe that a good deal of male empathy has been lost to a lack of intellectual curiosity that used to be cultivated through an exploration of literature.

there is simply no amount of child death that will move RFK to change his mind because he is a predatory narcissist who cares less about health than the gratification of his own ego
Astonishing RFK Jr interview with NBC. At 23.30 he claims pharmaceuticals are the 3rd leading cause of death in the US [wtf]. He discloses the name & medical history of the 2nd child to die of measles, implies she wasn't healthy & argues about her cause of death. @gorskon.bsky.social
Key takeaways from RFK Jr.'s interview on measles vaccine, food dyes, weight loss drugs and more
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. spoke with CBS News in an exclusive interview. Here are some highlights.

A great infographic of what the Dept of Ed actually does.
Also, it is the WORST time to pull resources from students with the highest need. Learning gaps post COVID between kids who grow up in low vs high income households are large - and this will be devastating
