Nearly all the staff in the Office of Special Education have been fired as part of Trump’s sweeping layoffs.

These are the people responsible for protecting the civil rights of students with disabilities and ensuring they receive an equal education.

More needless cruelty on display.

If physicians want to be leaders in AI we must also be leaders in critical thought. Without critical consumption of technology we will only lead AI into harming our patients and our profession.

Attending this UNM ECHO session about rural street med and 😍 Great to hear from this UWV residency program and from the other attendees on what has and hasn’t worked. Because having a mobile/pop-up clinic for mental health is def on my radar for my potential future practice.

Watching program tours as I prep for interviews starting in just a couple weeks and getting all verklempt. How is this real life? How is it I get to do this? Sometimes the immense privilege just smacks me right in the face and overwhelms me.

No Kings protests, and anti-regime protests in general, serve two main positive functions:

1) Reminding participants and observers that they’re very far from alone, countering regime efforts to divide and isolate

2) Showing the absurdity of regime lies about the peaceful, pro-democracy opposition

Reconstructionist @unavaleable.bsky.social · 5d

Funny they can't say the name of protests because saying "No Kings" makes it soooo clear it's the opposite of a "hate America rally"

Emmer: "This is about one thing and one thing alone -- to score political points with the terrorist wing of their party, which is set to hold a hate America rally in DC next week."

Dr. Seuss went hard during WWII.
Lessons should have been learned.

A satirical comic drawn by Dr. Seuss with a train with a swastika on the front of the engine is barreling down the tracks, and a man in a jacket is sitting on the train tracks wearing an "America First" jacket trying to reassure Uncle Same that the train will turn off at a point labeled "Appeasement Junction" onto a far too small track and not run him over.

The Trump regime’s tariffs and the elimination of the de minimis exemption are hindering interlibrary loans, trapping books in foreign countries. This disruption to international resource sharing hinders academic progress and limits access to information for researchers.

Libraries Can’t Get Their Loaned Books Back Because of Trump’s Tariffs

Libraries have shared their collections internationally for decades. Trump’s tariffs are throwing that system into chaos and can ‘hinder academic progress.’
