As a faculty member, I think I knew from afar what good people IES had. But over the past two years, I have gotten to work alongside so many of those who were just let go. I have learned so much from these friends and colleagues, and I am just dumbstruck at the scale of this loss for our country.

This. Lately I’ve had scenes from Wild Swans and the opening chapters of Three Body Problem stuck in my head. Just watch the first 10 minutes of Three Body Problem — it’ll set the mood.

My colleagues and I decided we would pull together a tracker of all the education-related activity of the new administration so far and uh, it's a lot. Did we forget something? (probably.) You can email editor@hechingerreport.org or my Signal address is cas.37. hechingerreport.org/tracking-tru...

The DOGE purge is not just about the lives and livelihoods of civil servants—though of course it IS that too. It’s about gutting crucial services for communities across the country. EX: Head Start and early childhood continue to be directly in the crosshairs👇
