Game day!!! #GoBlue #MaizeOut

🥗 From a month ago, but extremely relevant right now. Cuts to SNAP & Medicaid would jeopardize college access for a whole generation.

Cuts to Health & Nutrition Programs Will Harm Millions of Americans and, Once Again, Imperil State Higher Education Affordability for a Generation of Students:

We looked at how cuts to #SNAP & #Medicaid would hurt people now & put state #highered funding at risk—jeopardizing college access for a whole generation. We must strengthen, not undermine, these vital supports that improve stability, making educational success possible. Link in the comments. 👇

The justices will hear nine cases between March 24 and April 2, including a dispute over a lower court’s decision to strike down a map that created a second majority-Black congressional district in Louisiana and an attempt to revive the dormant “nondelegation doctrine.”

Is the "temporary pause" of disbursement of all federal grants/loans an unlawful impoundment? It almost certainly is. A brief 🧵

I love "cry productively". Might be better the second time around if you are prepared. Also, I can see how crying for characters while watching things around us (gestures at everything) "die" could be cathartic.

A colleague wants to call ICE on a patient. What should you do? Concerns over a patient’s immigration status can create uncertainty and stress in clinic. These five legal points add clarity.

A reminder that HIPAA applies regardless of a patient’s immigration status.

A 6-year-old article from the AMA with evergreen guidance for healthcare providers facing this situation:

I do miss greys and all things Shonda but it was so traumatizing! I can't watch another person die! It's the Game of Thrones of medical dramas!

"....it’s their scholarly contributions that end up dividing a discipline; it’s their successes that sometimes lead scholars who should know better to stand up for them."

Omg that is hilarious

Low-income students have been a ridiculously tiny share of elite college enrollment for a century

The G.I. Bill, Standardized Testing, and Socioeconomic Origins of the U.S. Educational Elite Over a Century Ran Abramitzky, Jennifer K. Kowalski, Santiago Pérez, and Joseph Price NBER Working Paper No. 33164 November 2024 JEL No. 123, 124, N32 ABSTRACT We compile, transcribe, and standardize historical records for 2.5 million students at 65 elite (private and public) U.S. colleges. By combining these data with more recent survey and administrative data, we assemble the largest dataset on the socioeconomic backgrounds of students at American colleges spanning the last 100 years. We document the following: First, despite a large increase in the share of lower-income students in the overall college-going population, the representation of these students at elite private or public colleges has remained at similarly low levels throughout the last century. Second, the representation of upper-income students at elite colleges decreased after World War II, but this group has regained its high representation since the 1980s. Third, while there has been no increase in the economic diversity of elite private and public colleges, these colleges have become more racially and geographically diverse. Fourth, two major policy changes in the history of American higher education, namely the G.I. Bill after World War II and the introduction of standardized tests for admissions, had little success in increasing the representation of lower- and middle-income students at elite colleges.

Holy crap this is an astounding piece of historical research

Will post ungated link later today unless someone beats me to it

Welcome to my Skyline! I will post about access to basic necessities, such as food, housing, and child care, especially while people pursue education beyond high school, which reliably (with some exceptions) remains one of the best pathways to the middle class. TY for the follow!

This is one more enemies list. Alongside the "woke generals" and the DHS employees that GOP oppo researchers have developed.
The goal is not accountability. It is a purge.
