Approximately 20 members of Elon Musk’s staff have begun working within the Education Department. They have gained access to multiple sensitive internal systems, including a financial aid dataset containing the personal information of millions of students enrolled in the federal student aid program.

Are the next 4 years really going to be logging on everyday to sentences like "a 19 year old doge intern called Big Balls has your social security number" because I'm already at capacity for this sort of thing

I wrote this blog post on the specific challenges in finding library materials published in Palestine medium.com/@jdcarlstone...

NNLM was instructed to eliminate all references to DEI from their website, including terms such as Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, DEIA, Social Justice, Racial Justice, and Environmental Justice. As a result, over 100 pages were removed. It's also important to review what content has been taken down from MedlinePlus.

Things are getting bleak, y'all.
