Are you a TED member & doctoral #student (or do you know one) looking to get more involved in special education #policy and #advocacy? Consider applying to be a 2025-2026 TED Policy Fellow! Applications are due by midnight EST on 6/1/25. Link to the app can be found in our Linktree (in bio). #sped

Alt text: A green and cream-toned illustrated flyer announces the 2025–2026 TED Policy Fellows program. At the top, bold text reads “25–26 TED Policy Fellows.” Below, a green speech bubble states “Apps due 6/1/25!” The flyer features a cartoon woman holding papers, with a text box next to her that reads: “Complete the prompts and upload your CV and advisor’s letter of recommendation in the Google Form.” Icons of a government building, shaking hands, and a clipboard appear nearby. At the bottom, it says “APPLY NOW” with a link: “linktr.ee/cec_ted_policy.”

The boycott is proving to be one of our most effective tools. Don't believe me? Ask Tesla and Target. Join The Austerity Movement! Avoid buying anything you don't absolutely need. When you need something seek out antifascist, local, minority owned businesses. Almost anyone can do this. 😁

It is well-researched and shown that disciplinary actions have been applied disproportionately to students of ethnic and racial minority backgrounds. This order is attempting to open the floodgates to allowing -even encouraging- these discriminatory practices to continue and even to escalate.

Send in a FOIA request this week. Ask to get the information doge has accessed about you. If they don’t fulfill your request, Rep Jamie Raskin is going to file a class action suit. Just print, complete, and mail. I’ll add the link to the form in the comments.
