My institution just concluded its presidential search and our next leader will be the first Black university president in #Kentucky at a public institution outside of our primary HBCU. I'm cynical as hell, but I have to tip my cap to the committee for bucking the times. Good luck to Dr. Ron K. Patterson! #academicchatter

Kentucky voters voted for Trump, Comer, and Massie. They knew what they were voting for.

This is the find-out part.

📣 NEW STATE ADDED: I've completed pie charts breaking out total population enrollment in #MEDICAID, #CHIP, #MEDICARE & #ACA exchange plans for every Congressional District in #KENTUCKY:

acasignups.net/cd-pie-charts/ky

ACA Signups · Congressional District Enrollment: KentuckyNOTE: THIS IS AN ONGOING PROJECT; IT WILL TAKE SEVERAL DAYS TO ADD EVERY STATE. CHECK BACK SOON. Over the past couple of months I've compiled a master spreadsheet breaking out enrollment in ACA plans (Qualified Health Plans & Basic Health Plans), Medicaid/CHIP coverage (both traditional & via ACA expansion) and Medicare (both Fee-for-Services & Advantage) at the Congressional District levels. With the pending dire threat to several of these programs (primarily Medicaid & the ACA) from the House Republican Budget Proposal which recently passed, I'm going a step further and am generating pie charts which visualize just how much of every Congressional District's total population is at risk of losing healthcare coverage.

In many Kentucky counties, 117 out of 120 of which are Red, the school system is the biggest employer.

It will absolutely collapse without the federal funds that keep them open.

All these people will lose their jobs, will only be hired back at sub-living wage rates, and the kid's learning will be disrupted for months if not years while the state legislators try to get fairy tale spewing for-profit scammers to take it all over.

Republicans dishonest use of bills by attaching things that have little or nothing to do with the original needs to be illegal.

Read about the for-profit school that ignores requirements: courier-journal.com/story/news

"Haynes estimated about 500 were previously home-schooled...Most concerning was student performance...Of the district's virtual third grade students, 9% were proficient in math, compared to 43% statewide."

From Kentucky State Senator Reginald Thomas: One measure the Senate took up was the second House Bill brought before us this session, House Bill (HB) 241. I originally supported this measure because it provided critical flexibility for schools recovering from closures due to extreme weather and other emergencies. It was a bipartisan and common-sense solution to help students and teachers. But what followed is exactly what frustrates so many people about politics. In a rushed, behind-the-scenes process, the Senate Education Committee altered the bill by attaching unrelated provisions to shield a struggling virtual school from oversight, despite its documented failures. This maneuver sidetracked meaningful discussion and undermined the bill’s original purpose, transforming it from a practical solution for lost instructional time into a protection measure for an unaccountable online program. Had the Senate received a clean bill that remained true to its intent, I would have fully supported it. However, I cannot support a bill that prioritizes political maneuvering over student success. As a result, I voted against the measure, which passed by a vote of 23-14. It now returns to the House with the Senate’s changes, and I urge lawmakers to remove these harmful provisions. If the House rejects the changes, the bill will move to a conference committee, where I hope we can restore it to its original intent and ensure it truly serves Kentucky students and schools.

This is absolutely outrageous. 🤬During a hearing on #SanctuaryCities today, Republican #JamesComer of #Kentucky refuses to let Democrat Congresswoman #AyannaPressley of #Massachusetts to enter into the record an article correctly reporting that US citizens commit #crimes far in excess of crimes committed by #immigrants. He refuses to even allow her to enter the title of the article. This is #censorship. This is #oppression. This is #WhiteMaleSupremacy. F*** Comer & f*** #HouseRepublicans.

I have a family of 4 with a #transgender child in critical need of #mutualaid

In addition to their child facing discrimination in #Kentucky, the mother has lost access to medications she needs to live and is starting to die as her immune system attacks her whenever she eats.

They have a solid plan for how they are going to move to #Washington , and they do not need a lot. Timing, however, is critical!

Let’s get these folks out!

Just a reminder class, Ky is a state w/ a deep red legislature.

If you come here and your wife, daughter, girlfriend, or mother needs emergency medical care, they will be left to die in the parking lot.

If you are LGBTQ, you will be harassed, and if you are Trans your regular medical regime will be withheld from you.

If you are non-christian you can expect to be treated like dirt unless you're filthy rich, then they'll just smirk behind your back.

Kentucky moved to violate prisoner's rights to freedom of religious practice and their civil rights to appropriate medical care by forcing them to de-transition in obedience to one whackadoodle cult's beliefs.

It's a violation of their basic human rights.

Since many people in prison are awaiting trial and are not yet (or ever) found guilty of anything, it's a gross assault on their dignity & freedom.

From State Senator Reginald Thomas: While these measures reflect positive advancements, the Senate also considered legislation with more troubling implications. Chief among them was Senate Bill 2, which passed 31-6. The bill prohibits state correctional facilities from using public funds for medically necessary hormone treatments and gender-related healthcare for transgender inmates. The Kentucky Department of Corrections already prohibits gender-affirming surgeries and has never performed such surgeries. I opposed this bill because it targets a small, vulnerable population—transgender individuals comprise less than one-half of one percent of Kentucky’s incarcerated population. Beyond its discriminatory nature, SB 2 exposes Kentucky to significant legal and financial risks. Similar legislation in other states has been overturned for violating the Eighth Amendment and established legal precedents concerning essential medical care for prisoners. If enacted, it will result in costly litigation, diverting resources from pressing priorities such as child poverty, childcare shortages, and juvenile justice reform. Despite these concerns, SB 2 now moves to the House for further consideration.

This is just a straightforward violation of the social contract. I don't know how else to describe it. Why should I continue to live in a place where the government actively seeks to make life more dangerous and worse?
