So for my class, every lecture I'm choosing a pretty space photo to show the class as students enter, so want to share them! Here's a stunning photo of star cluster Liller 1, located 40,000 light years away from Earth. Today we covered the different properties of stars, so it was a good fit. 🤩

We propose six actionable steps of allyship that researchers, faculty members and educators can engage in to foster a diverse, equitable and inclusive academia: listening to marginalized voices, challenging one's own biases, speaking up to include disadvantaged groups, speaking out to confront bias, advocating for inclusive policies and dismantling institutional biases.

The CFPB Work Freeze Is Putting Big Tech Regulations ‘On Ice’
The cease-work order at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau won’t just affect lawsuits and enforcement actions. It will stall regulation that could govern tech companies like Apple and Google.

Great point - credit to The Bulwark - Trump/Muskrats likely will not disobey the judiciary on something as unpopular as dismantling USAID. But if there is a left-leaning judge who overreaches with a ruling on something that's popular with the base, they will flaunt the disobedience with less outcry.
USAID isn’t just foreign aid—it’s a powerful tool for America’s security, influence, and values. Cutting it weakens us while empowering our adversaries. I’ve seen its impact firsthand. Watch my video and share with those who care about America’s future. 🇺🇸👇
