Just a wee brag. This is my kid. Yes, the US is going to hellina handbasket faster than we expected. No, I don’t foresee a way to rebuild from this damage for perhaps a generation. But, dang, my son, my bonus kiddo (my son’s BFF), and the other kids at this competition sure gave me some hope that their generation is up for the challenge. 💕🏆

Voting is Your POWER

🚨TIME SENSITIVE🚨

SPEAK OUT NOW to Protect Our RIGHTS!

Submit Comment Now! Deadline is Tonight (Wednesday April 23) at 9pm Pacific time!

Sample comment:

Requiring documentary proof of citizenship would disenfranchise countless eligible voters, especially seniors, students, low-income, and Native voters who may not have access to these costly, hard-to-obtain IDs. As a voter, this rule would create unnecessary hurdles for me and my community — voting is a right, not a privilege for the wealthy. I oppose adding proof of citizenship requirements. It’s a thinly veiled attempt at voter suppression targeting vulnerable communities. Our democracy works best when every eligible voter can participate. This proposal would silence too many voices.

#Resist! Four Maine college presidents sign national letter decrying Trump education 'overreach'

Riley Board, Portland Press Herald, Maine
Tue, April 22, 2025

"Four Maine higher education leaders have signed on to a letter accusing the Trump administration of 'unprecedented government overreach and political interference.'

"Safa Zaki of #BowdoinCollege, Garry Jenkins of #BatesCollege, David Greene of #ColbyCollege and James Herbert of the #UniversityOfNewEngland all added their names to the letter, published Tuesday by the American Association of Colleges and Universities. More than 230 presidents of colleges, universities and scholarly societies throughout the country have signed so far.

" 'We are open to constructive reform and do not oppose legitimate government oversight,' the letter reads. 'However, we must oppose undue government intrusion in the lives of those who learn, live and work on our campuses. We will always seek effective and fair financial practices, but we must reject the coercive use of public research funding.'

"Though the letter primarily represents private institutions, leaders from a handful of state colleges and universities signed on, including University of Massachusetts Amherst Chancellor Javier Reyes and Eastern Connecticut State University President Karim Ismaili. A spokesperson for the University of Maine system declined to comment.

"In recent months, the Trump administration has pulled or threatened to pull federal funding from higher education institutions that don't comply with his agenda on #StudentProtesters, admissions practices and #TransgenderAthlete policies.

"The administration has also revoked the visas of hundreds of international students. On Friday, the American Civil Liberties Union [#ACLU] of Maine filed a class-action lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security [#DHS] and other agencies behind the visa revocations, asking that a judge restore the visas of any New England students who have had them wrongfully removed, and protecting future students from the same actions."

"The agencies would also be asked to partner with the private sector to develop relevant programs in schools."

I read this draft EO as further evidence Big Tech is poised to hasten the privatization of public education through industry-serving AI literacy and related curriculum."
