My talk at Garrett College last night focused mostly on a 5-year-old American citizen and her American mother and grandmother, imprisoned by the Nazis in WW2. They were then separated for almost 10 years.
Still think it can't happen here?

‼️ CHATTANOOGA - Public school kids outperform voucher kids AGAIN

As @GovBillLee steers more and more taxpayer funds away from public schools to private (mostly Christian) schools for wealthy families who are already there.

The end of federal enforcement of special ed laws. Some states - including MN - will likely be ok. But a lot of disabled kids in a lot of states are going to lose the education that federal law and decades of jurisprudence say they are owed.
Education Department wipes out special ed office in shutdown layoffs, union says
The Education Department laid off nearly everyone at the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services.

Thankfully, some of yesterday's CDC firings have been rescinded.

But this should be a major scandal, not business as usual in this shitshow of an administration. It's either spectacular incompetence or an effort to make even politically untouchable positions feel precarious to those in them.

100s of #CDC employees were notified Friday they were being fired — RIF'd. The firings cross multiple parts of the agency, endangering its core mission of keeping Americans safe.
Saturday, some were informed they were RIF'd in error.

“Trump’s big bill reduced compensation hospital EDs receive for treating undocumented immigrants. That reduction hurts hospitals, not undocumented immigrants whom hospitals still must treat…Hospitals are partially reimbursed for uncompensated care they give to help ensure financial sustainability”

Government shutdown rhetoric begs the question: Should the sick and injured be denied emergency care?

Since the presidency of Ronald Reagan, federal law has required hospitals to provide emergency treatment to all who need it, regardless of whether they are U.S. citizens.

Emergency Medicaid accounts for less than 1% of total #Medicaid spending, even in states with large undocumented populations.

A JAMA "Research Letter" published online October 9, 2025, shows a US map depicting 'Emergency Medicaid Spending for Undocumented Immigrants.' States are color-coded to show the percentage of spending, ranging from 1 to 2%.

This isn’t fearmongering — it’s reality. Hospital-acquired COVID can delay care or cost you your health — even your life.

Infection control measures — masks, ventilation, testing, and staff/patient protections — should be standard care in every healthcare setting.

Prognostic Chats @PrognosticChats Some day you’ll be in hospital for surgery or chemotherapy or with another illness & a nurse, or doctor or visitor at the next bed, or the patient opposite you will give you a Covid infection & your treatment will get delayed & your life will be put at unnecessary risk. 4:28 AM · Oct 12, 2025 · 5,515 Views

Estonia has closed the Saatse border crossing with Russia due to an unusually large Russian military presence on the other side. The Estonian Police and Border Guard (PPA) noted increased patrols and military movements that were much higher than normal, which were deemed beyond routine activities.

It’s not too late to wear a mask.

It’s not too late to protect your health.

It’s not too late to show you care about the health of those around you.

It’s not too late to do your part to make public spaces inclusive & accessible.

It’s radical kindness & community care.

🧪 New research in paediatric #LongCovid showing microclots

👨‍🔬David Walt's lab at Harvard & Massachusetts General Hospital have devised an objective test 👇

www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-7...
A research summary titled "LATEST RESEARCH" and "LONG COVID" asks the question: "SCREENING TOOL FOR PAEDIATRIC LONG COVID?". Below the title is a picture of four young children, two boys and two girls, standing side-by-side on a grassy hill holding hands, smiling up at a clear blue sky. The text beneath the image reads: "A new microfluidic device detected fibrinaloid microclots in children with Long COVID with ~94% accuracy. These persistent, anticoagulant-resistant clots correlated with spike protein, suggesting vascular pathology and potential for rapid diagnostic screening." The source is cited as Irimia et al, 2025, Research Sq with a DOI link. At the bottom, a logo for "LONG COVID ADVOCACY" is displayed.

This senile liar who currently occupies the White House does not remember that he was President on January 6th.

If you voted for this senile liar, and if you enable him today, you clearly are ok with breaking America. The ruins of our once great nation are because of you.

Yesterday I was told that the class I’m scheduled to teach this month, Confronting Oppression & Injustice, is no longer part of our curriculum. This is a required class yet there was no discussion, no faculty vote, just an email saying the class no longer exists. This is what it’s like in Texas now.
