14-16 year olds can now work overnight shifts in Florida, with 16 year olds being able to do so on school nights. Its hard to believe that parents would vote for a guy who strips away their children's education and puts them in full time work conditions.

We need to hold institutions accountable. White ppl ignoring police harm->ongoing harm. A small group standing up can make a difference. Powerful ppl try to stay invulnerable, vulnerability gets displaced to ppl w/less power

BREAKING: Starting at 6 pm today and through tomorrow, the U.S. Department of Education offices and regional offices will be closed “for security reasons.”

Multiple sources shared the email to employees — which doesn’t explain more.

Do you have info? Let me + @jsmithrichards.bsky.social know.

In order to protect students from antisemitism at Columbia, the administration (advised by not one but two people who did a Nazi salute this year) is freezing support for students to learn science.

Jeremy Berg @jeremymberg.bsky.social · Mar 11

I have confirmation from several sources now that all T32s, many F30s and F31s, and most or all Center awards (P30, P50) have been terminated at Columbia.

This is quite damaging to research and to individuals.

This is pure terrorism and cannot be legal. But litigation will take time...

During Occupy Wall Street in 2011, there was a grassroots campaign to #MoveYourMoney from big banks to credit unions. I heeded the call a few years later, in 2014, moving my money from a corporate bank to a credit union, with zero regrets. Today, I’m still a proud member of a credit union.

YK Hong @ykhong.bsky.social · Mar 4

I highly recommend that people shift to a credit union or local bank if you have not already done so. Corporate banks are precisely corporations whose sole function purpose is to profit off of you. They do not exist to help you with anything whatsoever. Move your money.
