DC resident & former DCPS parent who started educationdc.net in 2015 because there was too little media coverage of public education issues in DC--and lots of right-wing ed reform propaganda about the same.

A sad irony in Washington, D.C., where West Virginia National Guardsmen were shot today. Six days ago, a court ruled their deployment was illegal, but stayed the order pending appeal. My heart goes out to these public servants and their families. oag.dc.gov/sites/defaul...

Dipshit is smashing out a car window with his gun, barrel first. Just rogue, cowboy stiff.
There were two US citizens in the car. They were apprehended and detained for “obstructing” ICE by honking their horn to let people know ICE was in the neighborhood.

As a retiring but still sitting member of the House, MTG has the opportunity to read into the public record documents that otherwise could not be released... and would be protected by the constitution's speech or debate clause from prosecution.

While this tragic incident was in Chicago, ICE has been similarly threatening DC schools, students, and staff.

I marked a student absent. He was kidnapped on his way to school. His main priority was to complete the reading assignment for his English class. Not running and hiding from ICE GOONS.

BREAKING: Judge Cobb rules that the Pentagon's National Guard deployment into D.C. was illegal.
However, she has stayed the effect of her order until Dec. 11 to prevent disorder while the matter is under appeal.

The President of the United States is publicly calling for the political prosecution of his political opponents, urging the death penalty because they urged soldiers to uphold the rule of law.
This should be front page news everywhere. It is not, which tells much about how we got to this point.

Just so we’re ALL clear: the President of the United States made death threats toward sitting Democratic members of Congress.
But they’re always claiming Democrats are the dangerous ones, right?

Past is prologue.
In 1933, during the Great Depression, a group of wealthy businessmen tried to overthrow the US government and install a fascist dictator to protect their own interests.
And everything that led to it feels way too familiar right now.
This is not a history lesson, it’s a warning.
