Thank you for sharing! I made a petition last week urging action against the federal Department of Education’s effective dismantling of the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS) during the government shutdown, which has left only three employees overseeing national special education policy. Without federal oversight or funding, the special education system faces potential collapse, threatening decades of progress and endangering the rights and support of students with disabilities. Give these students a chance to fight back!
The school district in my town has been in litigation with the DoE over trans kids. The Trump Administration has threatened to pull federal funding unless we start banning trans kids from the bathroom. Our school board has been planning with the assumption that we are going to lose federal funding no matter what we do, so why bother caving for no benefit?
Now every member of the school board can say "We called it! We're much less oblivious than university administrators or news media executives!"
Well, I'm sure the US government takes the idea of society being defined by how it treats the most vulnerable to heart. The cruelty is ramping up nicely, what with ICE doing its best to make the life of children hell. And neglect is not ignored, either, with this probably being step one in a plan where step B) is taxpayer dollars going to private establishments with no supervision or regard for the children whatsoever.
Ta, Dok (no byline, but I know it was YOU!). I'm appalled, but not at all surprised. I refuse to turn into a rage machine, but this outrage du jour is a blow to national security, the health of an entire population of hundreds of millions, and to the education of the next generation. I'm glad I never had kids; neither did beloved husband. HOWFUCKINGEVER, we have many relatives, colleagues, friends, and acquaintances about whom to be concerned.
If this is meant to be the latest distraction from Epstein, it's not working on me.
I'm not saying they knew what they were doing, and the HHS bio weapons protection cuts were very likely a thing Heritage decided on long ago, but there are still a lot of places in the gov't working on this.
"Donald Trump [sic] threatened to use the government shutdown as an excuse to eliminate “Democrat agencies,” and now he and Budget director Russell Vought have launched new rounds of layoffs that presumably fit the bill"
Not so fast:
> "President Donald Trump’s [sic] administration for now must stop firing workers during the government shutdown, a federal judge ordered on Wednesday.
("politically motivated and were being carried out without much thought[,]" so how is this any different than the usual bovine scat from the Fulvous Fuckwad and his regime?)
-----
"If upheld, the cuts will make it impossible for the government to fulfill its duties carrying out special education laws"
Henceforth, special education laws = Eugenics.
-----
"Other staffing cuts will eliminate the people who oversee Title I funding to schools"
Just so long as the gubmint doesn't get rid of the people overseeing Title IX; we ***must*** be sure that no trans athlete ever competes in women's collegiate sporting events!
"Research suggests the revamped definition could result in a dramatic rise in the prevalence of obesity among adults in the US.
"Dr Lindsay Fourman, the first author of the study, from Mass General Brigham in the US, said the increase in obesity prevalence based on the new definition was striking, and was largely driven by people who would not have been considered to have obesity based on their BMI alone.
99.9999% sure RFK Jr will say "Look! Based on the new definition, obesity is up, therefore it must be vaccines/estrogen/birth control/antidepressants!"
Think of the vast infrastructure of research, experimentation, and development of weapons and counter weapons, systems and counter systems discovered and tested slowly and painfully with great sacrifice across centuries of human innovation -- and all focused on one thing: Keeping Sir Safe and Alive. 🥲
Fuck these assholes. I want to I told you so to a former friend turned maga who said it wouldn’t be so bad. Her kids are grown, so obv she doesn’t care anymore

“…they don’t have any bioweapons other than sage and patchouli…”
TBF, I bet the inside of those suits gets pretty gamey after a few hours protesting in the sun.

Whenever I listen to RFKJ, all I hear is Reverend Jim from "Taxi."
With a vastly reduced federal government I should be able to reduce my federal taxes by the same amount of all that has been slashed, Right?
Of course!
You ARE a billionaire, right?
This. This is nothing more than taxation w/o representation. And slashing shit that was ALREADY FUCKING VOTED FOR AND APPROPRIATED.
Fuck these dirtbags. No forgiveness for a one of them. Not a single fucking one.
Remember, in a vile maladministration, we always must look for the Hurters.
The mission of Maladministration 2.0: Kill millions via Miasma, Pestilence, Calamity and Famine.

Ah, no worries, after Trump, RFK jr and their billionaire puppetmasters make food unaffordable, the obesity epidemic will dramatically improve.
"Almost 70% of US adults would be deemed obese based on new definition, study finds"
