A breath of fresh air...

Two new papers on when and how school spending matters. With fabulous co-authors @greermellon.bsky.social @susannaloeb.bsky.social Now if only the federal govt would fund schools appropriately... journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... journals.sagepub.com/doi/epub/10....

Women receive more than 3x more service requests at work than men. AND colleagues view them more negatively if they say no. More than forcing victims to say "no", orgs need to compensate equally for actual work and ensure equal service requests.

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!" Social Security - "That's socialism!" Debt free education - "That's socialism!" Universal childcare - "That's socialism!" $1 trillion+ in tax cuts for the wealthy... "That's just how it is."

The most bizarre thing about the COVID School Closure Discourse is how commentators take it for granted that closing schools had no effect on transmission or deaths but that's not at all what the evidence says.

Amazing - creative use of veto power to increase public school funding for 400 years!! Child learning and well-being will benefit, especially in low resource areas.

Yesterday was incredible. The official count is in — 5.2 million people joined the #HandsOff protest nationwide. So many are asking: what’s next? Mark your calendars: 4/19 is the next nationwide day of protest.

Hats off to the very strong #HandsOff signage yesterday! Thanks for making your voices heard. 🙏

Yes, the information in the Signal group chat was classified. Yes, this could have put our servicemembers in harm’s way. No, Hegseth and Waltz have not learned their lesson. And no, they are not capable of continuing to serve in their roles. They need to RESIGN.

Happy One Month Anniversary to this story.

After the Atlantic published the texts this morning, Tulsi Gabbard is confronted today on why she lied in her testimony to the Senate yesterday. She says she misremembered.

In 2019, @nationalacademies.org showed how to cut child poverty in half. The evidence is even stronger today. nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/2524...

Rubio, Waltz, Miller, and Hegseth have all called for or suggested criminal charges for Clinton and Biden for mishandling classified information. Rubio most explicitly noted classified information needs to viewed in a SCIF. www.cnn.com/2025/03/25/p...

Benefitted from a Know Your Rights training this week, so I want to say more about what this is and why it matters . 🧵 This is not some bold statement of resistance. It is a reasoned description of the law as it is. Fed agents (like ICE and related fed alphabet soup agencies) CANNOT enter… /1

I guess the real question is where are his emails? Because goodness knows accessing emails on a private server is the unforgiveable crime.

Pregnancy is a particularly sensitive period, & exposure to wildfire smoke may lead to smaller than average babies. Smoke isn’t the only concern, stress alone can alter physiological processes during pregnancy. www.latimes.com/lifestyle/st...

I hope everyone in LA stays safe. And for pregnant women, I also hope for calm and recuperation. Wildfire exposure reduces infant health, especially for mothers with low SES, and it seems mostly due to stress. doi.org/10.7758/RSF....

Hey dept of government efficiency, spending more in low resource school districts is efficient! It has larger benefits and increases equality in student achievement. @asanews.bsky.social www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/abs/10.1...
