I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story:

W.E.B. Du Bois on the white takeover of southern public schools after Reconstruction. Not a coincidence that the chapter, "Back Towards Slavery," follows his analysis of the eventual dedegration of the public school system. Attacks on education are vital to (re)instituting authoritarian rule.

Weird how not a single one of the newspapers and magazines that have been breathlessly churning out "cancel culture" thinkpieces for the past four years have managed to use the word "censorship" at all to describe the most rapid and comprehensive campaign of mass-censorship in recent US history.

We're already seeing schools in high immigrant areas having kids not show up for school. This is going to be a system-wide equity issue with ramifications for some communities that will last years, if not decades.

No, Academic Writing is Not Getting Harder to Read: βWhat we see in this short article is a case of applying a measure to the wrong inputs. This results in a double standard, where humanities are assumed to be an βeasyβ discipline in which no complexity existsβso complex language is unnecessary.β ποΈπ

Dear anyone writing about education, stop using phrases like "education is at a crossroads." It's as sophistic as it is prosaic. Be better.

Having trouble managing the flood of messages from biologist pals chortling that Trump's anti-trans executive order legally defines every American as female, because defines people by their gender *at conception,* and all embryos are phenotypically female (they differentiate after 6-7 weeks).
