Trump’s Reign of Terror on Schools—and How We Fight Back It’s not enough to be afraid of the laws and rules we don’t want to see in schools. We have to clarify our visions of what we are fighting for.

inthesetimes.com/article/trum...?

Democrats are literally locked out of the Department of Education. But that doesn't mean we stop fighting. Keep making calls, keep using your voice, do not back down.

Elon Musk’s 20-year-old staffers are not only demanding access to highly restricted information but are also displaying aggressive behavior—shouting at anyone who stands in their way, resorting to name-calling, throwing tantrums, and even hitting objects in anger.

Judy Chu is my rep, and she's awesome. She doesn't make the rounds on the talk shows, but she does her job for her constituents, and has done it well for a long time.

This is what revisionist history looks like, in real time. And this also is why it might appear that archaeologists and historians have to dig deep to discover the existence of powerful women and marginalized groups -- because their legacies are so often erased.

Opinion | There Is No Going Back The president’s opponents, whoever they are, cannot expect a return to the Constitution as it was.

Yeah so the Constitution isn’t really in effect right now

Hey @schumer.senate.gov. Get out of the grocery store & pretend you are Mitch McConnell. Max out debate time / deny quorum / revoke unanimous consent. No more nominees rubber stamped. No Russell Vought at OMB. No Project 2025.

Murphy: "This is a constitutional crisis that we are in today. Let's call it what it is."

The Fu*king Nightmare Trump II, week 2

I want to share with you some thoughts about the second horrific week of Trump II.

It’s even worse than I’d imagined. robertreich.substack.com/p/the-fuking...

Pretty damning evidence tipping the scales on the question of whether Musk is pro-apartheid.

If you haven’t already, you need to watch this.
God help us all.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.

I know. I was there in those camps.

Exclusive: Musk aides lock government workers out of computer systems at US agency, sources say Aides to Elon Musk charged with running the U.S. government human resources agency have locked career civil servants out of computer systems that contain the personal data of millions of federal employees, according to two agency officials.

it's not hyperbolic to say we're witnessing a coup.

This should be 25th amendment level conduct. The president ordered water to be released from a random dam in California nowhere near the wildfires and then claimed it would help. That’s literally Mad King behavior.

stone text inlay: HERE WE ADMIT A WRONG

I went to post about the National Japanese American Memorial in D.C., which is beautiful but usually missed by tourists. It is a deeply staggering admission of guilt and a warning to future Americans. I went to link to the inscriptions and-

Well, they took the site down. www.nps.gov/places/japan...

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: Our beloved Canada is under threat.

The threat comes from the president of the US—a convicted felon and known predator. But the threat is also being driven by the hate algorithms of oligarchs like Elon Musk….

The FAA is facing a major crisis without a leader because Elon Musk pushed him out FAA chief Michael Whitaker resigned earlier this month after facing criticism from Musk.

We did not have a FAA administrator to respond to the tragic crash last night in DC. Why? Because Elon Musk pushed the head appointed under Biden to resign after he fined SpaceX for failing to follow safety license requirements. www.theverge.com/news/603113/...

P.S. Also let’s not forget that Hitler and Nazi legal scholars modeled their Nuremberg Laws of 1935 after America’s segregation laws (read Hitler’s American Model by James Q. Whitman)

We keep saying they want 1930s Germany, but a reminder about the USA in the 1920s:
-Tulsa Massacre as well as Rosewood
-Resurgence of the KKK
-Immigration Act of 1924
-Resurgence of Lynching
-Continued strict enforcement of Jim Crow Laws
- The Scopes Trial where teaching science was put on trial

President Trump issued an executive order to find out what education funds he can legally rescind based on curriculum he doesn’t like. Existing law already answers that question —nothing.

Jim Acosta announces on air that he's leaving CNN and says, "it is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant ... don't give in to the lies."

This is a thread about book banning. Right now, today, books are being pulled from shelves in libraries and classrooms, some by direct order, some in fear of what's coming. This is *exactly* what Project 2025 said was going to happen. Make no mistake: this is not about books; it's about people. 1/8

Trump's first week: The Real Story Let it be known

Make no mistake: Trump’s first week was a catastrophe for many vulnerable people. But the biggest story was his startling initial moves from democracy to oligarchy.

My hope lies in Americans noticing this. robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-fir...

PEN America Criticizes "Alarming" and "Dismissive" Language on Book Bans by U.S. Education Department - PEN America Kasey Meehan, director, Freedom to Read, at PEN America, said: "For over three years we have countered rhetoric that book bans occurring in public schools are a “hoax.” They are absolutely not.

PEN America responds to action taken today by the Department of Education dismissing complaints about book bans and referring to them as a “hoax”:
