Today the United States wasted another #1B on an illegal war in Iran, money that could have been spent on funding health care or providing SNAP benefits or cancer research or academic scholarships for minorities. I could go on and on but I think you get my point. #endtheiranwarnow
We supported this bill at AAUW. Disappointing but not surprising interim ruling. We’ll keep fighting to give LGBTQ+ kids room to be themselves in CA. 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈

They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).

THIS.
CBS, Fox, the Washington Post, and Twitter are all owned by Trump-loving billionaires and soon CNN will be too. Here's why American media has a liberal bias problem.
The Dept of Ed has recently introduced a problematic proposed rule—a proposed change to student lending for advanced degree programs. This rule change would completely box out anyone who is not able to pay for tuition and other costs out of pocket.

In a major win for proponents of diversity, equity, inclusion, and anti-discrimination, on 02/18/26, the Dept of Ed rescinded its "Dear Colleague" letter from 2025. This major decision seemed to be met with little fanfare. Will it have a substantial impact?
