"I think all exams should be open book. It increases note taking skills that are actually used in life & workplace and it would decrease exam stress. It's unfair to assume all students can retain mass amounts of info. Exams should be application based and not a memory test"

Trump just signed an EO increasing the H1-B visa by $100,000, a visa that typically costs around $5000

This is likely illegal—but if upheld—understand these facts:
1. USA already has a doctor shortage
2. ~25% of doctors are international
3. In our for profit system this will ⬇️ doctor access, ⬆️ medical costs, & ⬆️ mortality rates

In short, this scheme further lines the pockets of billionaires and advances structural eugenics to kill poor people. This is just another tentacle of Trumpian fascism.

Hello, I am Mohammed, a journalist and photojournalist from Gaza.

I work for a small organization, but my salary does not allow me to cover my family's needs in light of the famine, high prices, & siege.

I live with my brother, my mom, my married sis & her two young children, one of whom was born a month and a half ago.

Jimmy Kimmel will ultimately land on his feet with a multi-million dollar deal (If not he's already a millionaire).

But I need to keep bringing y'all back to this fact: You should not be shocked that a US Government that has armed Israel to kill more than 300 journalists in Gaza, commit genocide in Gaza, and enable famine in Gaza—is also engaging in censorship of journalists and satirists in the United States.

It Is All Connected. Raise your voice for free speech in USA AND Palestine.

Stay safe.

2. Can speak both languages fluently.

3. Confident with both keyboard layouts.

4. Will bring nations together by teaching American's how to use roundabouts properly.

Turning Point USA is mass texting teenagers. My minor teen son is getting bombarded. Despite opting out of one text scam, TPUSA will text with another text scam.

They're going full grift ahead to raise money by targeting teens for their allowance money. An absurd attempt to grift and indoctrinate.

For the record. My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers. I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."

Bogdan, who is sadly not on Mastodon, built a web server from a disposed vape.

On the one hand, what has the world come to, treating 32-bit processors faster than our youth's computers as disposable...

OTOH, the sheer amount of cool we can do by just repurposing the trash shat out by rampant consumerism!
