I work at a preschool that is referred many students by Head Start. These cuts are a disaster for families and children already in crisis. Anyone who thinks this is a good idea should work at a Head Start location for a week and face what they are doing to kids head on. SHAME!

Head Start, an early childhood education program for low income families, is on the chopping block. Growing up, my own mom was an aide with the program; it’s helped countless young mothers, including the one who tells her story here. www.kqed.org/news/1203596...

Remembering today that having your heart broken is a necessary step on the path to becoming fully human. Whichever heartbreak is your first, it’s probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination. If this is your first, I’m sorry and also welcome.

I'm sorry, but I just think it's very telling when we differentiate between ICE's killing of American citizens versus undocumented immigrants. And I'm seeing that a lot right now.

May Renee Nicole Good’s memory be a continued blessing to all who loved and knew her

Kat Tenbarge@kattenbarge.bsky.social

Renee Nicole Good was 37. She was murdered by an ICE agent in the street in broad daylight. What really happened to her will not be forgotten, minimized, or ignored.

A non-comprehensive list of things my parents thought were wonderful resources when I was a child, and which they credit for my education and passion about science, that they subsequently voted to dismantle and destroy: * National Parks * PBS * Public libraries * Public schools * NASA

Bengals owner Mike Brown issued a statement expressing confidence in his leadership team of Zac Taylor and Duke Tobin, who will both return. Brown: They are the "right leaders to guide us forward. ... We trust their plans and expect to return to our desired level of success."

Harnessing my powers of telepathy to convince Mike Brown to fire Zac Taylor and send the Flacco car back to Cleveland to pick up new Bengals coach, Kevin Stefanski.

NEWS: The Cleveland Browns have fired head coach Kevin Stefanski after six seasons, the team announced Monday morning.

The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

You’re hearing it on the streets. β€œHave you heard of Bluesky, the official app of sports?”

Mina Kimes@minakimes.bsky.social

Just opened BlueSky and saw 10 posts in a row about John Schneider’s pit stains. This is a sports app!!!
