several employees there I spoke to. These self described "data nerds" tell me they're fairly confident the essential dollars will reach school districts for next school year, but they're VERY concerned about the 2026-27 school year. More here:

How the Education Department cuts could hurt low-income and rural schools
With cuts to nearly all the staff at the Department of Education's primary data agency, low-income and rural schools may not get the federal funds they rely on in coming years.

This flew under the radar, but Trump revoked a minimum wage hike for companies that contract with the government.
An estimated 390,000 workers will now see significant pay cuts.
It's not surprising that Trump's populism is fake, but it's hardly ever been more clear.

This year:
-Wisconsin will fill the deciding seat on its Supreme Court.
-New Yorkers can choose a new mayor.
-New Jersey and Virginia will elect their next governor.

The Fight Against Trump Isn’t Over
Now I get it — you’re probably tired of being told to just keep voting. But state and local offices have a huge impact on your day-to-day life. Electing people-powered leaders who believe in democracy and the rule of law will be instrumental in pushing back against Trump and his billionaire cronies’ lawless agenda. So please register, volunteer, donate, and vote. You DO have a voice. And right now it’s more important than ever to join the fight against fascism in America. You can go to Vote.org or Ballotpedia.org to look up the elections happening where you live. Remember: Tyranny cannot prevail over people who refuse to succumb to it. Don’t agonize. Organize!

A phrase from this article by @rbreich.bsky.social really resonated with me: Ignorance is the handmaiden of tyranny. I charted it up as a cross stitch pattern - it's available for free. Art is resistance. ko-fi.com/s/9b14285709

Rob Manfred pledged to keep MLB's values on diversity “unchanged" back in February.
But now, MLB's careers home page has no reference to “diversity," with a league spokesman telling The Athletic they're "evaluating" the programs.

It used to be clear that Democrats stood on the side of working people.
Then they started chasing the “center.”
Today’s Democratic establishment leaders have brought the party — and the country — down with them.

The Failures of “Centrism”
By moving to the so-called “center,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Donald Trump: widening inequality, economic insecurity, and the unchecked political power of corporations and the rich. Watch.

Wow, and the parade of embarrassingly bad nominees continues. At least we know exactly what they are going to do. If there is one thing MAGAs are good at, its being blatantly obvous with what they will do, while shamelessly lying about it.

What do many of Trump's cabinet and admin picks have in common? Let me connect some dots.
Trump’s testosterone-poisoned picks
Toxic masculinity is all about male dominance and female subservience. It is closely allied to fascism.
