Nice article from @calmatters.org on the great value that immigrant students bring to California calmatters.org/commentary/2...
These college students help shape California's future | Opinion

Musk says millions of dead people get Social Security. That's a lie. Here's the truth: 30,000 people die a year waiting for an understaffed Social Security to approve disability benefits. Musk's plan to cut Social Security's staff by 50% will make this tragic reality even worse.

I spent most of yesterday and some of today creating a guide to all the elections taking place on Tues and a week from today
If you live in DE, GA, KS, LA, MN, NE, NY, OK, or WA, you may have an election
If you live in OK or WA, I can almost guarantee it
DO NOT SIT THESE OUT

Plus trump has a history of stiffing folks, so the deal likely won’t come through
If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.
Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.
But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.
They aren’t firing for a reason.

What will be your posture in a second Trump era? Resistance? Retreating into the local? Returning to your craft?

🔥🔥A 2021 study found that Medicaid expansion as part of the ACA led to a substantial reduction in mortality, primarily driven by reductions in disease-related deaths.
