YouTube video by Democracy Now! "Absolute Nonsense": As Measles Cases Soar & Kids Die, Expert Slams RFK Jr. on Vaccine-Autism Link

A MAGA ex-friend sadly posted this week about the "awkward silence of the vaccinated slowly waking up to realize the unvaccinated were right". Ya...that's what it is when we hear that anti-vax crap -- "awkward silence".

We ought to have an I for an I policy (idiots for immigrants) for the agents and their supervisors who don't follow due process. When there is a court order to release someone who was imprisoned without due process, the agent and their sup go to prison instead. Sentence: same as for kidnapping.

I stand with Ukraine.

Education Dept. Cancels Over $600M in Grants for Teacher Pipeline Programs Many of the efforts focused on increasing teacher diversity, which now, officials say 'is inconsistent' with the administration’s priorities.

There's been so much in the news lately, this one seems to have flown under the radar. Extremely sad though and counterproductive to resolving our nations teacher shortage. Or you know, going to Mars.

This is awesome! In the midst of our own US orange nightmare, don't forget about Ukraine fighting for their very survival, and for the same freedom and democracy that we have enjoyed for over 300 years.

Slava Ukraini!!

DOGE released data about federal contract savings. It doesn't add up A new government tracker claims DOGE has saved billions from ending federal contracts. But an NPR analysis of the data finds the claimed savings don't add up.

Yep, and...?
(Seriously though--2 thumbs up for the research and the facts. We need more of this.)

"DOGE's savings page also does not include any evidence of fraud, waste or abuse in contracts, but does highlight ideological differences..."

Maybe not the most splashy news but if you want to know what's going on in the federal financial aid world, this article is for you. It gives me hope that folks are still talking about next year's FAFSA and future student loan repayment plans. I'm weird that way.

That's crazy!

Many people didn't. Remember Az is a purple state now. Please help! Too many here have drunk the kool-aid. They know not what they ask for.

Fight! Fight! Fight! Thanks for reporting on this. Very helpful.

Thanks for posting and sharing real news. It's surprising more are not talking about this. Maybe it's just early still?
