On the National Mall this morning, a new satirical statue is up celebrating Jeffrey Epstein and Trump's "friendship" in honor of National Friendship Month.

I'm telling you that that world doesn't exist. Either we're all safe, or none of us are safe. Kimmel and Colbert and jokes cannot save you from what's coming. You need the people that you won't fight for, to fight for you. But one-way solidarity ain't it.

“I’m just one person, what can I do?” Our part, dear, our part. One by one, doing our part. Text from hubs after we decided to “vote with our feet”. You’re more powerful than you think you are.

Obama on Charlie Kirk:

🔥 take: If your field relies on a pile of acronyms, you’ve built a members-only club. In an era of interdisciplinary collaboration, lingo and acronyms are walls. Clear language is an invitation. Try common, accessible language. It might surprise you how much more impactful your work can be.

#econsky anyone at DOL who could hook me up with RAPIDS data that has recently disappeared from public use?

That’s my district!

Glad because he needs to hear much more of this. Thank you NY. Sad because I know the singer, and she was doing one of the best national anthem performances I’ve ever heard. I hope she gets to do it again when the orange buffoon isn’t there.

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

Reminder: Most mass shootings are carried out by cisgender men.

National Guard is now tasked with picking up garbage in DC

Just received this statement from Lisa Cook: "President Trump purported to fire me 'for cause' when no cause exists under the law, and he has no authority to do so. I will not resign. I will continue to carry out my duties to help the American economy as I have been doing since 2022."

Pardon my economist technical parlance, but what the fuck does “issuing its statistics on the blockchain” even mean? This data is already publicly available, thanks to this super fancy piece of technology called “an API” These people are complete idiots

Major media once thought a Trump dictatorship was impossible, so they didn't warn the public about it. Major media now see the dictatorship arriving, so they're afraid to warn the public about it.

Text of the US-EU trade deal is out: www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-st... The most important thing is what's not there. Trump had boasted "They gave me $600 billion, and that’s a gift." But guess what? They didn't. He didn't get a penny.

The Constitution protects your right to record law enforcement in public.

I'm afraid you'll have to fire all of us, Mr President. www.wsj.com/economy/trum...

The official United States statistics on our labor market are now under full control of this hyperpartisan loyalist.

Let's focus on qualifications: Antoni finished grad school 5 years ago at Northern Illinois with no distinction. Dissertation: No focus on labor or data collection. Zero publications. One lifetime citation (by a former colleague). This record would not earn you a job as junior economist at BLS.

Federal agencies hiding out in a bunker

LOL Has the rest of the world issued “do not travel to the US” warnings yet? They should. I was worried about returning from vacation. I’m brown. Multilingual. A bit of an accent. Yes I’m a citizen but 🤷🏽‍♀️ “U.S. issues ‘Do Not Travel’ Warnings for 4 New Countries” apple.news/Ae9vehMy5RJu...

Trump 2017: "It is my pleasure and my honor to announce my nomination of Jerome Powell." Trump today: "He's a terrible Fed chair. I was surprised he was appointed. I was surprised frankly that Biden put him in and extended him." Every news story will include both clips, right?

🚨 DON’T LOOK AWAY 🚨 U.S. Professor KIDNAPPED and DISAPPEARED by ICE! He still remains detained. Yesterday a California Faculty Association union leader, Professor Jonathan Caravello, was dragged away by four masked ICE agents while lawfully observing a raid. This is NOT normal.

Actually I think this is the one. And no, it’s not an AI generated background ❤️🇵🇪

I meant New *album* cover just dropped Edit button?

New band cover just dropped

WE THE PEOPLE

My awesome team at Craft will be at #SREE this October leading a moderated discussion on transforming Teacher Prep via Apprenticeships, with panelists representing most of the spectrum, from research, EPPs, districts, technology, and all the way to the classroom. Can’t wait!

Ahh, blocking feature works beautifully! See you never, chucky!

So not a drag queen......

It should not be lost on anyone that Minnesota Rep Melissa Hortman, who was shot to death in her home last night by an assassin, was a gun safety advocate who worked tirelessly to protect her constituents from gun violence.

You can’t call yourself a Christian and accept what’s happening to immigrants at the same time. It’s literally contradictory, according to the Bible.

I know it’s Thursday but it’s been a week! Middle school and high school graduations for 2/3 kiddos (the “baby” and the firstborn). Big changes ahead. And bittersweet too: last summer with all 3 living at home 🥲

#econsky #edusky I’m looking for the research related to this DOL implementation eval project. I believe most of this was done @urbaninstitute.bsky.social and @mathematicanow.bsky.social , but I’m having a hard time finding the full research reports. Could someone share them with me, pls?

Thoughts and prayers for the MAGA warriors who are being personally traumatized by this scene

This is probably a longshot, but does anybody have Duke doctoral or PhD regalia that they would like to clean out of their closet or resell for not too much $$$? Please DM me if so💙

This is a very good evaluation of the “christian”-right’s position that holds their interpretation of doctrine above compassion, in light of the true teachings and example of Jesus.

Now Hegseth is saying that the active duty Marines at Camp Pendleton are on alert to come in if the National Guard isn’t enough. The U.S. government is ready to unleash our own military on civilians. It is definitely time to be frightened about what is happening here.

I truly believe part of the reason this is happening in LA right now is because they want to scare us into not protesting for no Kings day. DT is actually worried he’s gonna lose the news cycle so he wants to make sure everyone is too scared. 1/2

Editors, please assign a deep dive piece on the grave damage musk & doge have done to the United States, rather than how he’s feeling about it.

Today at my kid’s school, all seniors are presenting their research project results. This is the program 🤯 Coming from a developing country, though I’ve been in the US for 20+ years, it still blows my mind that this type of public education is available to my kids. tjhsst.fcps.edu/sites/defaul...
