- “The first people a dictator puts in jail after a coup are the writers, the teachers, the librarians—because these people are dangerous. They have enough vocabulary to recognize injustice and to speak out loudly about it. Let us have the courage to go on being dangerous people.” - Madeline L’Engle

- Reposted by Jaimee GarbacikI just heard this as well. The entire staff of the National Center for Education Statistics, created in 1867, has been fired.
- 🧪The entire staff of the Department of Education’s NCES-a vital independent statistical agency - has just been RIFed. The continued erasure of data and evidence allows for the Trump administration to hide the impact of their corruption. #EduSky #Scisky @aeraedresearch.bsky.social @cossa.bsky.social

- VERY Key Point: “…history tells us this erasure is a trial balloon for much worse things, and it’s essential we hold the line. In May 1933, five months after being elected to power in Germany, the Nazis burned the Institute for Sexual Science in Berlin…”
- Trans people were on the front lines at Stonewall. Don't let Trump, Musk, or a bunch of Vichy gays and TERFs tell you otherwise. My latest for Slate on what happened to the Stonewall monument website, why autocrats always destroy history, and where it can lead slate.com/news-and-pol...

- This is no joke. I asked ChatGPT about best-fit MFA programs for a client while on the subway once, just curious what it would say, and it told me @alexanderchee.bsky.social taught at Brown. (He does NOT. Which I thankfully knew.) 😂

- Riiiiight. All 10K books that were banned last year, and the school board meetings calling every queer book “pornography” and books that mention the effects of slavery radical “propaganda”…that was just made up. Never happened. 😤
