Republicans hid many destructive things in their budget bill.
One of them is a hefty national voucher program. $5B/yr in tax credits to subsidize private & religious schools-$20B over 4yrs. Public $$, zero oversight.
A backdoor defund of public education masked as “choice.”

“Our propaganda is not about persuasion. It’s about disorientation.
Our real opposition is the media: the way to deal with them is to flood the zone with crap.” -GOP strategist Steve Bannon
"Everywhere else you look, the Trump administration seems determined to harm our long-term competitiveness and capacity for innovation; the attacks on universities and the dramatic rollback in federally funded research will probably put a damper on our national economic dynamism for decades to come"

Thank you Sen. Elizabeth Warren for sounding the alarm: Trump’s “big beautiful bill” will slam families with an average of $400 more a month in student loan payments.
That’s rent. Groceries. Survival.
All so billionaires can keep dodging taxes.
That’s not policy—it’s punishment.

Pete Hegseth’s own lawyer floated illegal wiretap claims—then denied he ever said it.
Trump’s inner circle is eating itself alive. Even his advisers say they “no longer have any idea who or what to believe.”
Calling it a clown show would be an insult to clowns.

Trump administration orders US embassies to stop student visa interviews.
Directive could severely delay visa processing and hurt universities that rely on foreign students for revenue.

There’s a new Covid variant, and it’s here… the symptoms are similar to previous variants, but it’s more transmissible.
What we need to face now, is the fact that the trump administration WANTS another pandemic situation.
How do we know, and why would they?

The New York Times, especially Zeynep Tufekci and David Leonhardt, helped make this outcome of needless child COVID-19 deaths a reality. They should be ashamed of themselves and ridiculed whenever they dare to show their faces in public. Pitiful pieces of anti-vax garbage.

Not one single comment about the service or sacrifice of US soldiers no longer with us in Trump's "Memorial Day" rant. Such an awful man.

Even as we fight and try to stay positive, it's critical that we prepare for the worst. We don't have time for head-in-the-sand optimism.
Here are things that are already a reality, things they're attempting to do, and some crucial steps everyone must take NOW:
So sorry,
Hope god gives you the strength to carry on. I know that’s what Bode wants you to do. There’s no love like a dogs love. ❤️
Republicans called cancelling student loan debt a “giveaway” to the working class, so Trump is restarting predatory student loan repayments to fund tax breaks that are giveaways to corporations and the super-wealthy.
This what an oligarchy robbing us blind looks like.
Spare us. Trump was buddy-buddy with Putin, then acts shocked when his dictator friend acts like… a dictator.
