Yes, @ucsandiego.bsky.social & US have seen drops in new students' #math prep, but from changes in placement & testing at San Diego, & pandemic disruptions, absenteeism, & social media effects in US. Reinstating SAT/ACT won't help. #highered #AcademicSky @pamelaburdman.bsky.social buff.ly/AqtQX7w

Special report: @pamelaburdman.bsky.social uncovers a shift in placement testing conditions at UCSD that may have contributed to the excessive identification of underprepared students—a factor that was not acknowledged in the recent campus report. Read more: www.justequations.org/resource/rem...

The CSU Northridge math department already does fantastic work – and with our help they can do even more. (Also, many in the department were hard hit by the recent fires.) I donated - please consider joining me! givingday.csun.edu/giving-day/9...

Trump yesterday, repeating something he’s been saying for years (re: tariffs, which he said would make the US “rich’): “it’s going to stop us from being a laughingstock all over the world because we have been taken advantage of like no country has been taken advantage of.” Let’s unpack this a bit./1

This NYT sleight-of-hand is part of why Trump’s insane racism flourishes. The implication is that it’s possible to “attack diversity” WITHOUT a “racist undercurrent.” And it “surfaces” - as though Trump hasn’t been a rabid and explicit racist for years, and this is some new tone.

Apparently, allowing Americans to file their tax returns for free is a bad thing. A big gift to the Big Tax lobby and a big middle finger to Americans.

“The meaning behind Trump’s words was clear, that diversity equals incompetence. And for many historians, civil rights leaders, scholars and citizens, it was an unmistakable message of racism in plain sight at the highest levels of American government.” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/03/u...

As Trump Attacks Diversity, a Racist Undercurrent Surfaces
President Trump has promised a “colorblind and merit-based” society, while also equating diversity with incompetence.

USAID removes its anti-corruption policy document, which set forth U.S. objectives for institutionalizing anti-corruption as a core priority. Truth in advertising, I guess.

In a functioning democracy, a President who pardoned a mob that assaulted the Capitol while trying to overturn the election, and who then fired the prosecutors who put them behind bars, would be removed from power.

is it good or bad that a billionaire oligarch with close ties to foreign dictators is currently downloading the most sensitive information the us federal government has about its citizens to his own private servers?

In March 1948, shortly after Truman’s civil rights address, a coalition of Republicans and Southern conservatives succeeded in fighting provisions that would have banned certain appropriations to institutions that practiced segregation.
The South won one victory at least in Washington last weee….Dixie opposition, assisted by some Republican support, eliminated provisions which would have banned certain appropriations to institutions which practiced segregation.
