“These are kids who will never pay taxes," he says. So... are we paying back all the taxes paid by autistic people who have been in the workforce their entire adult lives? Or, alternatively, are we going to make our unelected chainsaw-wielding billionaire plutocrat start paying his share?

This is such a thoughtful and thought-provoking response and I'm so glad she chose to share it. "Your admissions police will impoverish Sweet Briar College,not because you will lose a few visiting artists, but because you will lose those students, and their courage and their imagination."

One columnist, a professional pundit, is living in a paranoid delusion. The other, a sociologist, is living in America.

🚨NEW🚨: Donald Trump is attempting to strip away federal support for libraries. We will NOT let that happen. Last night the President signed an order to gut the Institute of Museum & Library Services. But together, we know we can show up & defeat it. Full EO: www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...
Show Up For Our Libraries! By eliminating the only federal agency dedicated to funding library services, the Trump administration's Executive Order is cutting off at the knees the most beloved and trusted of American institutions and the staff and services they offer.

The intention to punish entire states with *thousands* of students for the inclusion of a *handful* of students makes a pretty clear statement: the administration doesn't actually care about kids. It's not about kids at all. It's about control.

I can't even fathom being so hateful as to nationally shame AND DOXX a child. As if her moving from 5th place to 1st place is an unreasonable improvement? Given that Libby thinks Nazis are totally okay people, this isn't surprising, but it's still disgusting. www.wmtw.com/article/main...

What parallel universe is Elon living in, seriously. Really shows what kind of parent he is that he doesn't consider human relationships and mentorship as a critical part of education.

Why are we still arguing about this. Leavitt's is a Mount Washington Valley landmark. Come on. If it was a billboard, fine, but it's a mural painted by Kennett students. We have so few small businesses thriving in Franchise Valley™; just let them have the art.

Our trainer for our new LSP used All Systems Red from The Murderbot Diaries as an example bib record today and it's a good thing my camera was off and I was alone in my cubicle because when I tell you I came unglued. I had literally been listening to the audiobook maybe 45 minutes earlier.

I love using Turnitin so I can get flagged for plagiarism for mentioning the names of organizations whose names have been mentioned elsewhere. Really great tool. At least this time it didn't flag every single one of my references as plagiarism because they'd been cited in the same format elsewhere.

WHY IS EVERY ARTICLE DEADNAMING THEM. I mean, I know why, but it's still sickening to see. The media is so complicit in this violence.

I just want all kids to be able to die of old age, living as they want to live. They all deserve that, from Palestine to Oklahoma and beyond. I grieve for them all.

As if this story isn't horrific enough, why did WaPo need to deadname them? That sentence could've and should've ended with "some of whom knew Nex by their birth name." Amazing how in a story about transphobia, people can still find room for microaggressions. Do something kind in Nex's memory today.

I'm still watching "marked safe" notifications come in on Facebook and hoping, selfishly, that everyone I know is okay. It's somehow still unimaginable however many times it happens, and this time it's so close to home.

My heart is just breaking for home this morning. I can't imagine what it's like to be in the L-A area right now. I don't even have words for this. I'm afraid for my family and for my friends in Maine and further killings. It's just unbelievable.

Data and Worf are in quarters. Data looks v concerned as he stands next Worf who is awkwardly holding a cat by its cat armpits. Worf's hands are huge in comparison, and It looks like he is not a big fan of cats. Closed caption reads, "Tell him he is a pretty cat."
