Senator Duckworth joins Rachel coming up next.

The madness continues. Ending support for global vaccines is cruel and puts us all at risk. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/26/h...

This is worth a share.

Pleased to see my colleagues at BU Wheelock resisting in the face of continued efforts to stop DEI momentum.

From 2010 to 2016 (latest data I have ), NIH research contributed to EVERY drug approved by the FDA

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.

This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.

Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.

And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

BU faculty member Brooke Nichols has created these trackers to estimate the impact of defunding USAID. So very tough to watch as the US turns into a country without a heart.

People who send their kids to high schools that cost $55k a year have a lot of nerve complaining that per pupil expenditure in public schools is too high but what do I know.

Thank you to all our amazing and inspiring heroes! We were proud to honor you in Washington, D.C. today, and we’re grateful for the compassion and above-and-beyond service you provide your communities every day.

The trump EO to close ED is emblematic of what the GOP doesn’t value: services for people who are poor and have disabilities, studying how to improve our nation’s education system, getting people in and through higher education, and civil rights. Speaks volumes about the character of the GOP.

I keep hearing the question: What's the biggest impact of Trump education disruptions so far? My answer: Research. Data. Knowledge on how students are doing and how schools might improve. All of this is being decimated. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/12/u...

“The mission of the Department of Education is and always has been to support states, communities, and families by bringing together information on what works so that schools can best educate children.” @dqcdata.bsky.social dataqualitycampaign.org/news/the-tru...

In this conversation with Jay Halfond, Lynn Gangone reflects on her career of advocating for expanding the reach of higher education.

Excellent piece by my colleague, Zach Rossetti on Section 504 and its importance for protecting the rights of students with disabilities in light of the current lawsuit attempting to limit its impact

Thank you @davidchard1.bsky.social for this piece on the risks of cutting funding to the Institute of Education Sciences: www.bu.edu/articles/202...

Very concerning. Dr. Carr was the consummate professional. Knowledgeable of her Center’s work and the glue that held NCES together for years.

Trump and Musk’s needless cuts to the RELs will leave children behind all across the nation, including in communities like yours // “[The REL] helped us develop resources that our teachers could use, that our leaders could use … I can’t say enough about how important they were.”

Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act is a cornerstone of disability rights legislation. Today, 17 states are trying to roll back its protections across education, employment, health care, housing, & more.

New analysis from @kingsfloyd.bsky.social and the Disability Economic Justice Collaborative.

"USAID's funding is roughly 0.3 % of total federal spending. That’s quite a bargain, considering the vital role USAID plays in sustaining America’s 'soft power.' It’s no wonder Trump hates USAID. After all, MAGA only appreciates hard power." by @playtyperguy.com

Earlier this month, we came together to celebrate Lucy Wheelock on what would have been her 168th birthday.
Happy Birthday, Lucy!

Welcome home, Leonard. It’s been a long time coming.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.
