Moms & parents can’t afford Trump’s rising costs. Coffee is up 33%. Vegetables are up 40%. Washing machines cost 12% more. Healthcare & childcare are up. Costs are rising under Trump’s presidency. His policies aren’t working. It’s #Trumpflation.

"For Black families, this is more than a bureaucratic shakeup. It's a direct attack," writes Monifa Bandele of MomsRising in Essence.

OP-ED: If The Department Of Education Falls, So Do Black Families | Essence MomsRising’s Monifa Bandele breaks down how the rollback of federal protections puts the rights, safety, and futures of Black students—and the women who raise and teach them—at risk.

“The DoE exists because history has shown—time and again—that states alone cannot be trusted to protect marginalized students…

“The DoE’s Office for Civil Rights has been one of the few tools … to hold schools accountable...”

No one should trust him…

Connect the dots…“Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters on Monday that he had taken over as acting administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development…many of U.S.A.I.D.’s programs …would continue under the umbrella of the State Department.”

Times like these….study, organize, fight, dance

Kayla Gogarty @mmfa.bsky.social: The right-wing noise machine is this enormous, well-oiled media apparatus, a coordinated network of politicians, political figures, think tanks, and different organizations. And what we see is a feedback loop. We see them playing off of each other. #MOMSky

Panama Unsettled by Trump Threat to Seize Canal Few took the president-elect’s combative comments at face value, but they still sent a shudder through a country that has been invaded by the United States before.

When members of the press and political leaders in either party treat Trump’s imperialist talk as “bonkers” “crazy” or “just talk” you deny that real people live in these places Trump is threatening. Panama has been invaded by the U.S. before. None of this is a joke.
