We are grateful to the West coaches who kept the swim lanes open for our kids - now we need MMSD to commit not just for a season, but to every student in Madison in the face of educational rollbacks nationwide #LetThemSwim captimes.com/news/educati...

Yesterday @charbergs.bsky.social and I shared with folks in our department @wiscpediatrics.bsky.social about our family biking adventures and learned that one of our colleagues has been documenting some of our stops in the region over the years on @cyclists-of-msn.bsky.social ❤️

MMSD administrators effectively cut 2 swimmers with disabilities from West High’s team: reversing years of inclusion with the season underway. Equal ≠ fair. Access is not optional. Speak up at the Board meeting Monday 👉 youtube.com/shorts/eniEV... #LetThemSwim #MMSD

So many friends, coaches & teammates stand w/ Asha & Aurelia. 💙 This isn’t just about one season. MMSD broke trust by changing the rules midstream without a process. Equal ≠ fair. Access is not optional. #DisabilityJustice #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs

🏊 MMSD cut 2 swimmers w/ disabilities from West’s team. For years they had the opportunity to swim as non-scoring members. This year? MMSD reversed course with the season underway. #MMSD #LetThemSwim

For perspective, 202,000 lost jobs is a bit more than 1 out of every 1,000 people currently employed in the US. $46B is about $1.6 out of each $1,000 of current US gdp. These cuts are gonna hurt and they are only one part of the oncoming economic damage.

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom. Few Americans know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country. (Published 2022)

That Cardboard Box in Your Home Is Fueling Election Denial

A previously unreported boom in profits for the shipping supply giant Uline has provided the funds for a deeply conservative Midwestern family to bankroll anti-democracy causes around the country.
