The Trump administration has placed two top security chiefs at the U.S. Agency for International Development on leave after they resisted turning over classified material in restricted areas to Elon Musk’s staffers. America, please stand with usβ€”we are fighting to defend this country!

Happy BLACK History Month. I read Black books every month but I got two stacks for y'all.

First stack is books by Black authors I loved and the second are the ones I’m getting to.

USAID.gov is down. Why is this concerning? Trump has no legal authority to eliminate a congressionally funded independent agency. The work of USAID is vital, and if this can happen to them, it can happen to any of us.

this is the 'life story' of the so-called word gap or vocabulary gap: the deficit concept of our time, which is based on flawed and racist methodologies which locate alleged linguistic deficiencies in the homes of racialised and working-class families. spssi.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1...

NC is not much better. :( But that is possibly due to the immense amount of funds pulled from public and given to private schools this year. Or that teachers do not receive masters pay. Continued sad times for our students.
