“You starve your public schools to feed your private schools and charter schools,” said one superintendent about the state’s efforts to grow charter schools. “Our foundation was set up for a free and appropriate education for all kids. All kids!”

On Nov. 22, Vahid Abedini, an Iranian Studies professor at University of Oklahoma, was boarding a flight to attend the Middle East Studies Assn mtg in Washington, D.C. when he was detained by ICE.

OU Prof Joshua Landis says "he has been wrongfully detained because he has a valid H-1B visa."

Very interesting nugget in this profile of (now former) Oklahoma Superintendent Ryan Walters' quiet relationship with far-right Texas billionaire Tim Dunn who, per sources, changed Walters "from loving schoolteacher to rightwing radical."

They are legally in the U.S., but earlier this year, President Donald Trump ended the humanitarian parole program that gave them their status. Since then, the family has faced a legal and emotional rollercoaster as their case moves through the federal court system.

Even if the worst comes to the worst, unless we're all dead, there's always an "and then." And that "and then" is the rest of our lives, our kids' lives, our grandkids' lives.

the thing is, SNAP benefit funds will expire in a few days, and i think people have broadly overestimated how many missed meals it takes a population to descend into chaos (the answer is one)

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

Trump vs. US was the final straw imo. You cannot read that ruling and continue believing they have legitimacy. It is not only against the plain text of the constitution, it is anathema to the national ethos. It is offensively, insultingly un-American and they ceded legitimacy by committing that sin.

donald trump is a fascistic leader who has surrounded himself with people who are explicitely pro-fascistic that want to end democracy as we know it and punish anyone who dissents. pretending otherwise leads me to believe you agree with them doing this

THE CHICKENS ARE FINALLY COMING HOME TO ROOST

Ryan Walters is out & the investigation floodgates just opened. The Oklahoma AG launched a full audit of Walters’ entire tenure as Superintendent, and it’s about damn time.

Also the education dept website’s being scrubbed of his culture-war nonsense.

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

Seriously, y'all. Were it not for a lone lawyer literally banging on the airport doors, these kids would've been stolen. Were it not for Judge Sparkle taking immediate action at 3am on a holiday weekend, they'd have gotten away with it.

It didn't take a hero to do the right thing. Just a person.

A lawyer on the ground on Sunday morning saw just how close things were, and how the flights were only stopped because a federal judge moved at light speed to halt the Trump admin's illegal operation.

She saw the plane begin to taxi to take off, only to turn around at the last second and come back.
14. I arrived at the FBO Sun Valley Airport in Harlingen. I could see two of the ICE transport planes parked on the tarmac. The stairs had already been pulled away and the door to the plane, which I had been informed had the children on board, was already closed. I went to the building at the tarmac. I could see officers inside. I knocked on the door. I told the young man who answered the door that I was an attorney, that I had clients on the plane, and that I had a court order stopping the plane from leaving. I asked to speak to his supervisor. I gave the same message to every person who badged in the locked door. I told them they were all complicit in violating a federal court order if the plane left. The young man came back out and told me that he had advised his supervisor who was trying to contact ICE. I explained again the federal court order and the importance of stopping the plane. Another agent came out and physically pulled the young man back into the building. I could see the other staff members through the glass. They were jeering and laughing. I repeated that they were all complicit in the violation of the judge’s order. 15. Around 10:30 am, while I was standing outside the FBO airport building, I saw one of the planes begin to move. I identified it as the plane that I believed ProBAR’s clients to be on. I knocked on the door again. I watched the plane taxi away from the building. About 20 minutes later, the plane taxied back and parked again. I stayed watching the plane with the children on it. It was hot, sunny, in the upper 90s. I thought about the children on that plane and how hot and stuffy it must have been, how tired they must be, and how scared and confused.
