There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

“But he said he’s firing people based on partisanship, not need!”

Yeah that was pretty explicitly in the 900+ pg manual you repeatedly dismissed for months any time an ad ran about it or you had it spoonfed to you in conversation. At least being stupid enough to say it out loud helps them in court.

People like Peter Thiel and Elon Musk aren’t tech creators — they’re tech colonizers.
Rich white men who used privilege and capital to seize an industry built by real innovators, exploiting the minds and labor of creators while branding themselves as “visionaries.” #Pinks

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

If you all would have included truthful Black History as part of American History, you wouldn't be so "shocked" by what is happening right now. In fact, what is happening now likely wouldn't be happening because you would have been able to see it coming with knowledge of history.

since Trump is instructing federal law enforcement to besiege D.C. bc of purported crime reasons, let's review this piece I wrote in June about how he keeps trying to legally justify his fascist bullshit by pointing to nonexistent 'emergencies'

Trump Is Inventing Legal Emergencies to Make Himself More Powerful

The White House’s response to protests of ICE raids in Los Angeles is stretching statutory language to the breaking point.
