The Trump admin has already made a mess of career & tech ed programs that they moved from the Education to Labor Department. Now, they want to go even further in dismantling the Dept of Ed. I talked with @wajali.bsky.social about why this abandons our kids.

The GOP is on a Pro-Death March, and Our Kids Are Their Next Target.
After dismantling USAID and refusing to fund SNAP, the GOP is now gutting the Department of Education and the CDC, all of which will lead to our children becoming sicker, vulnerable, and dead.

3 infant #pertussis deaths this year in Kentucky. "Of the three infant deaths reported over the past 12 months, all three were not vaccinated, nor were their mothers."
We first tested maternal vaccination for whooping cough over 80 years ago. It's safe & effective & might have saved these babies.

Nearly 60% of SNAP recipients are children or adults over 60. And the maximum monthly benefit for a single person is $298 – well below what many say is needed for a nutritious diet. A political scientist who has researched nutrition programs explains how the program works:

In 2008, a blogger named Curtis Yarvin called for a future president to kill foreign aid programs as part of a plan to replace democracy with dictatorship.
Now 600,000 people are dead—and 14 million will die by 2030, according to the Lancet. This is the running death toll of tech fascism.
