(1/4) Recent layoffs of federal workers has a disproportionate impact on Native Americans, but is receiving almost no media attention. In Indian Health Services, which provides healthcare to 2.8 mil NAs, 2,200 people were laid off, including 1,400 who provide direct patient care.

A webpage for a federally funded observatory named for the late astronomer Vera Rubin was edited to omit any recognition that science remains a male-dominated field or that the observatory was working to be more inclusive.

“JAGWEED,” “BADARSE” and “AXEHOLE.”

These are just a few of the more than 300 requests for personalized vanity plates that were denied in 2024 by the Illinois Secretary of State’s office.

THREAD. There is a group of reporters at the New York Times who are intent on peddling copaganda whatever the consequences. The paper's Christmas Day crime article was one for the ages. It's a smorgasbord of propaganda tactics that I've covered, with some amusing new flourishes.

Since last October, Israeli forces have killed over 180 media workers, in an attempt to silence any coverage of the atrocities they are committing in Gaza.

@noosey666 Excited for your dissertation on this.

One of my former economics students recently reminded me about a concept I used to call "belief economics."

I haven't taught the course it in a long time, but ever since she reminded me, it perfectly explains why everyone is so focused on Black male Trump voters

So good.

[Prem Thakker @prem_thakker]

This is a huge scandal.
USAID & State Department refugee bureau both said Israel blocked aid to Gaza. But Blinken told Congress the opposite, so they wouldn't have to heed US law that'd force cutting off weapons to Israel.
As in, the Biden-Harris admin is complicit in war crimes.

The names of the dead are organized by age. The last 11 pages (pages 639 - 649), the ages range from 77 to 101 — all Palestinians older than the state of Israel.
