Forget about #FamilyValues: Trump fired people at "the agency that’s supposed to serve the most vulnerable kids and families in the country, and there are billions of dollars that will now go unmonitored and unaccounted for.” Unmonitored and unaccounted for money leads to waste, fraud, and abuse:

What happens when bureaucracy gets it wrong? An 82-year-old man, Ned Johnson, was mistakenly declared dead by Social Security due to an error linked to a program led by Elon Musk's team. His experience, described as "surreal," reveals the harsh impact of government mismanagement on innocent lives.

Still Mad About CD Prices

I used to enjoy my job, even grading, even midterms. Tonight I forced myself to turn in midterm grades (with 2 minutes to spare) and did not enjoy it. There are many aspects of my job I no longer enjoy.

It's not a mystery why (at least to me). Perhaps it's embodied in this thing: our university senate asked a state-level body to observe issues at our university and create a report. The report is weeks late in coming. We received a message today asking us to wait a little longer because of "...the critical issues at [my university] involving transparency, trust, the relationships among stakeholders, and the status of shared governance..."

Yeah, it's a fucking mess around here, and never in a way that allows faculty to feel better about our jobs.

"As Pres. Donald Trump preps an executive order aimed at dismantling the Department of Education, staffers were told this week not to come into work on Wednesday. An email sent to employees at 1 p.m. on Tuesday ... said all #Education Department buildings in the nation's capital and across the country would be closed on Wednesday and would reopen Thursday":

「‘Not very pleasing’ – #Ramaphosa’s tough talk to #Gauteng ahead of #G20 Summit

[...]

“This year, we have the opportunity to host the G20. It will manifest itself in about 130 meetings. Some of these meetings will happen here in Gauteng,” said Ramaphosa.

“As these meetings happen, it is the opportunity for Gauteng to gear up, to demonstrate that we did not make a mistake by choosing Gauteng to host the G20 meeting.

“We were correct in choosing Gauteng, #Johannesburg, to be the host of the G20. Gauteng must showcase itself to the world. It must be at its best in terms of the physical presentation and environment. Let us make our metros presentable.”

Ramaphosa also talked tough with the executive when he expressed his disappointment with the environment, which he said was not pleasing.

“Sometimes it’s good to be direct and say it as it is; I should say that one or two meetings of the G20 that I attended here were not very pleasing.

“The environment that one observed was not a pleasing environment. I say this so that we can improve immensely,” said Ramaphosa.

He called on the executive to address the governance failures, financial #mismanagement, crumbling infrastructure, #crime, lawlessness and unreliable #ServiceDelivery that are destroying Johannesburg.
G20 routes

Last week, Joburg mayor Dada #Morero faced backlash for saying the city’s clean-up campaign would prioritise G20 routes.

The mayor said: “We have prioritised certain routes within Johannesburg, which are G20 routes, to ensure that at least we can make them at the standard at which they should be. No #potholes, no traffic signals that are not working.”」

"The Trump administration must halt its firings of thousands of government employees who have been hired in the last two years, dismissals that had no legal justification, a federal judge in San Francisco ruled ... The agencies were directed to tell the employees — falsely — that they were being dismissed for poor performance":
