  8. #Trump must release millions in #grants meant to address the shortage of #MentalHealth workers in #schools, a federal judge ruled.

    #Congress funded the program after the 2022 #Uvalde #SchoolShooting. The grants were intended to help schools hire more #counselors, #psychologists & #SocialWorkers, & focus on rural & underserved areas. But Trump’s admin opposed #diversity considerations used to award the grants & told recipients they wouldn’t continue past Dec 2025.

  14. The #USB Type A connector is undoubtedly the most ingenious engineering design, if the success of this design is to be assessed by how much #frustration one electrical engineer can mete out to billions of humans. But if we are to employ the correct measure—#usability—this design must necessarily rank at the bottom.

    As #engineers, we must all exercise a bit of #humility and listen to the #psychologists who are trained in #HumanFactor.

  20. TRIGGER WARNING: Military Psychology

    New Rules at VA Effect Treatment and Hiring of Patients and Staff Based Upon Political and Marital Affiliations

    New Rules at VA Effect Treatment and Hiring of Patients and Staff Based Upon Political and Marital Affiliations

    Please note this not "only" effects patients -- staff can be discriminated against (or fired?) for #nationalorigin , #sexualorientation , #maritalstatus, membership in a #union and/or lawful political party affiliation.

    Hashtags in quotes below added by me to the quotes.

    TITLE: ‘Extremely disturbing and unethical’: new rules allow VA doctors to refuse to treat Democrats, unmarried veterans
    URL: theguardian.com/us-news/2025/j

    "Doctors at Department of #Veterans Affairs ( #VA ) hospitals nationwide could refuse to treat unmarried veterans and Democrats under new hospital guidelines imposed following an executive order by Donald Trump."

    "The new rules, obtained by the Guardian, also apply to #psychologists, dentists and a host of other occupations. They have already gone into effect in at least some VA medical centers."

    "Medical staff are still required to treat veterans regardless of race, color, religion and sex, and all veterans remain entitled to treatment. But individual workers are now free to decline to care for patients based on personal characteristics not explicitly prohibited by federal law."

    "Language requiring healthcare professionals to care for veterans regardless of their politics and marital status has been explicitly eliminated."

    ...

    "They 'seem to open the door to #discrimination on the basis of anything that is not legally protected', said Dr Kenneth Kizer, the VA’s top healthcare official during the Clinton administration. He said the changes open up the possibility that doctors could refuse to treat veterans based on their “reason for seeking care – including allegations of #rape and #sexualassault – current or past political #partyaffiliation or #politicalactivity, and personal 'behavior such as alcohol or marijuana use'."

    ...

    "Similarly, the bylaw on 'decisions regarding medical staff membership' no longer forbids VA hospitals from discriminating against candidates for staff positions based on national origin, sexual orientation, marital status, membership in a labor organization or 'lawful political party affiliation'."
