Redistricting School Systems Can Increase Funding Fairness and Decrease Segregation A new report and interactive data tool show how specific redistricting choices can create fairer school systems for our children.

I'm very proud to share a new, first-of-its-kind analysis and data tool from my team at @educationwork.newamerica.org.
Redrawing the Lines is a first-ever look at how, if states draw school district borders with equity as the goal, they can HUGELY reduce funding inequality and segregation. #edusky

He's almost exactly where he was on this very week 8 years ago. Talk to me if he hits sub 35%. news.gallup.com/poll/203198/...

This is like my primary use for chat gpt. Works pretty well to paste a bunch of links and have it turn them into proper form endnotes or footnotes. Though you still have to manually paste those back into your document. There's probably a more efficient way...

Thank you!

To "avoid." How about to "treat"; already existing chronic illness?

Keeping Philly street handball alive in Hunting Park Handball has been a cornerstone of the Latino community in Philadelphia for generations.

You guys see where this is going? Right?

It’s crazy how he goes 4 days without committing an impeachable offense and we assume he’s dead. 😵

Sorry, but probably true.

"Students without a decent lawyer"

Is there any effective treatment (other than salt and fluid) to increase blood flow to the brain?

What does it mean? What are the implications for future treatment?

Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm curious if you were successful in getting disability?

Very much appreciated!

Thank you thank you! Very helpful

How does one get such a diagnosis? How to even find doctors (who are taking new patients) that know how to do this? (asking as parent of a 17 year old child in Philly who was previously a high level athlete and for the past two years can't let go of that and keeps trying to work out only to crash).

New Dept. of Ed Rule Limits Public Service Loan Forgiveness Student advocates and higher ed lobbyists fear the suggested changes could lead to a shortfall in employees to fill high-demand, low-wage jobs.

The administration says it wants to prevent PSLF from going to employees of orgs engaged in "illegal" activity

But we already have a legal system to address that

So the only purpose here is to let the admin interpret legality as it sees fit, using a lower "preponderance of the evidence" standard

Ok. But very hard to implement for my 17 year old who only wants to lift weights and play sports. They keep telling him he'll eventually grow out of this, but it's been two years now and still no light at the end of the tunnel.

Very helpful!

Any help with what to do to prevent #pem? Any suggested treatment for when it (seemingly inevitably) occurs?

FLASHBACK: Jeffrey Epstein pleaded the Fifth when asked if he and Trump ever socialized with girls under 18.

That speaks volumes.

NYC Mass Shooting Was Nearly Impossible to Prevent, Experts Say

Holy shit, they did it. They wrote the headline.

CBS News investigation of Jeffrey Epstein jail video reveals new discrepancies A CBS News investigation found discrepancies between the government's description of the Jeffrey Epstein jail video and what the video shows.

If you've been skeptical about the possibility of a Epstein conspiracy, as I have, I encourage you to read this incredible piece of reporting from CBS.

They present fairly compelling evidence that someone doctored the Epstein jail footage and Trump AGs Bondi and Barr and FBI lied about it.

WalletHub asked for some comments re: school quality, school funding, and improving student outcomes. wallethub.com/edu/e/states...

let's take stock here:

(Democratic) Presidents, via the Dept of Education, can't cancel student debt because statutes don't clearly authorize it.

Republican Presidents can cancel/shut down the Dept of Education because, even though only Congress can shut down departments ..., ... 🤷‍♀️ YOLO?

Just to get real: No, these programs alone aren't a huge % of school district's total $. But (1) they REALLY matter to the students they support, and (2) this is almost certainly a trial run. If the Trump admin—USED&OMB—don't get serious pushback on this, bigger cuts are likely to follow. #edusky

I almost can't believe that Elon Musk's AI called for the extermination of the Jewish people yesterday, and today not a single Congressional Democrat announced they were leaving his media network.

A party that often claims to act against antisemitism didn't do jack shit about straight up Nazism.
