MAGATs that want to close the US Department of Education will nevertheless use the US Department of Education to garnish the wages of MAGATs and non-MAGATs whose students loans are in default.

Only 38% of borrowers are in repayment and current on their student loans. Garnishments will begin later this summer.

Update. "The federal Department of Education [#ED] maintains an open access database of more than 2 million documents [Education Resources Information Center, #ERIC] dating back to the 1960s. It will cease operating Wednesday due to #DOGE cuts."

PS: I use many sources in my attempt to stay on top of what's happening with #OpenAccess, #OpenScience, #OpenEducation, and so on. ERIC has been one of the stalwarts.

An Almost Everything Sky
* Image Credit & Copyright: Koen van Barneveld

Explanation:
This surprising sky has almost everything. First, slanting down from the upper left and far in the distance is the central band of our Milky Way Galaxy. More modestly, slanting down from the upper right and high in Earth's atmosphere is a bright meteor. The dim band of light across the central diagonal is zodiacal light: sunlight reflected from dust in the inner Solar System. The green glow on the far right is aurora high in Earth's atmosphere. The bright zigzagging bright line near the bottom is just a light that was held by the scene-planning astrophotographer. This "almost everything" sky was captured over rocks on Castle Hill, New Zealand late last month. The featured finished frame is a combination of 10 exposures all taken with the same camera and from the same location. But what about the astrophotographer himself? He's pictured too -- can you find him?

2025 April 23 A skyscape is shown over a rocky landscape. In the starry sky are the central band of our Milky Way Galaxy on the left, a meteor trail on the right, the dim band of zodiacal light in the center, and the photographer holding a light just below the center. The path of the light is shown as a bright streak in the bottom part of the frame. Please see the explanation for more detailed information.

👋 Excellent article covering many areas, here is one excerpt:
"The irony is that even as #Trump and #Poilievre lament the disappearance of the middle class, they aim to put the very last nails in its coffin by eliminating public sector bargaining, defunding public #education and #health care, cutting #social services, undermining secure #employment and #pensions, and leaving #housing strategies to be dictated by developers and the market. "

#SCOTUS this week:

The debate over #Religious #freedom & #ParentalRights is back at the #SupremeCourt.

Justices will consider whether #PublicSchools can stop parents removing students from lessons using #LGBTQ+ themed #books. The issue has divided a #Maryland community.

Justices will weigh the future of #free #PreventiveCare today.

And #police officers who joined the rally before the #Jan6, 2021, #insurrection asked justices for anonymity.

The Dark Ages Cometh (back)

#Trump and his #arrogant, #ignorant coterie are doing their very best to destroy the things that do make America great - #education, #art, #libraries and #science. It is so feckin #depressing and I can only wish good speed to those who are doing their best to stem the tide and repel the infidels. I really never thought I would ever be making common ground with Universities such as #Yale.
