Progressive Educator @ NY

Darth E-Vader

Why is Trump waging a war on the Department of Education? Because he knows that his biggest enemies are educators and younger generations of learners who are unafraid to speak truth to power. Attacks on education are central to the fascist playbook.

"Sleepy Joe" oversaw the biggest stock gains in US history, 9 straight quarters of GDP growth, 12 straight months of inflation decline... and "the greatest businessman ever" crashed it all in 45 days.

The rhetoric- reality gap is almost as large as the Grand Canyon and the Orange River that flows…

The Wizard of Oz is 84 years old! If Dorothy were to encounter men with no brains, heart, or courage, she wouldn't be in Oz. She'd be in D.C.

I got my team USA jersey today! Clearly we are facing a serious world. So a world serious jersey is needed! The season is upon us.

I get it now. President Orange is so scared and insecure, he needs the slight-of-hand bravado to buddy- up with Putin. Classic

Does anyone remember the Hitler Youth?

Orange you wondering how T’s private militia is acting ?

After all….today, Moms for Liberty, Education Department launch program to report teachers who promote diversity… and move to out and fire them..

Time travel, indeed. I am a progressive, not a Regressive like T&m

Believing a small group of billionaires are suddenly working tirelessly for the benefit of the working class requires a spectacular level of stupidity.

Profits before the people
Politics before the public
Demons before Democracy

MAwA ?

Reality check:

An ORANGE cancer-cloud is now amongst us- infecting and affecting democracy here and around the world. The sun is setting on our civil rights and the progress we fought for…

Dark side Don…

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Call me crazy but maybe two men who fathered 17 children with 6 different women between them shouldn’t be lecturing us about family values

Teaching American History?

Linda McMahon, the former professional wrestling executive tapped by Donald Trump to lead the Education Department was unsure during her confirmation hearing when asked whether Black history courses could run afoul of the new administration.

Mike Pence just reposted an old article he wrote about the limitations on the powers of a president. For some reason. Here is a part of it.

Dismantling the U.S. Department of Education would hurt all students—especially those from lower-income families and students with disabilities—by cutting essential services, increasing class sizes, and slashing civil rights protections.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS IN CASE OF ICE: CONOCE TUS DERECHOS EN CASO DE ENCUENTRO CON ICE:

DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR. ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge. Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door. NO ABRAS TU PUERTA. ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizándola debajo de la puerta.

ASK THEM TO LEAVE. If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission. 2 PÍDALES QUE SE VAYAN. Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pídeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a áreas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.

REMAIN SILENT. You have the right to remain silent. If the agents ask you questions, tell them, "I wish to remain silent." PERMANECE EN SILENCIO. Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio. Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles: "Deseo permanecer en silencio".

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

Renaming Bodies of water???!

Let’s rename all of these as “Trump’s Pond” in honor of his moral leadership, his commitment to service, his stewardship of the environment care… And his gifts to humanity…

The name "Gulf of Mexico" was established long before the formation of the United States in 1776.

The Gulf of Mexico has carried its name for more than 500 years, long before the United States existed as a nation.

Clearly he does not know History nor geography…

What was the cost to the US tax payer for the prep,
Police/FBI/CIA staff to protect this entourage to visit the SuperBowl for his visual and ego needs? NASTAR is next. Costs to play golf?
