To understand the Trump administration’s vision for American education, @megomatz.bsky.social and I studied dozens of hours of political appointees’ speeches and podcasts and essays. What emerged is a desire to dismantle the nation’s system of public schools.

These Activists Want to Dismantle Public Schools. Now They Run the Education Department.

Under Trump, the Department of Education has been bringing in activists hostile to public schools. It could mean a new era of private and religious schools boosted by tax dollars — and the end of publ...

Johnson and Lauer are stalling.

If Grijalva isn’t sworn in, it gives them time to pressure one of the 4 Republicans who signed the discharge petition to flip.

The reason they’re working this hard to shield the Epstein files is because Trump’s name is all over them.

Trump: "I can create peace with tariffs. I'm using them for a lot of different reasons. If that power was taken away, it would be a terrible terrible day for our country. I would say many of the things I've done could be eradicated ... these are enemies of the country that are pursuing that lawsuit"

This is yet another manifestation of their Sadism. They film their cruelty. They get off on it.

And Sadism *never* exists in isolation. It's always accompanied by sociopathy-psychopathy (ASPD).

ICE is not only chasing down every random brown person in Chicago, they have a cameraman following them to film this for social media. Cruelty and inhumanity as content.

This is why Trump & Republicans went into the shutdown so confident. They banked on the Democratic Party’s weak reputation and assumed they would cave.

Well that’s not happening. Democrats are on the right side of the healthcare fight, and rank-and-file Dems want this battle because it’s worth it.

Our forebearers fought and died on battlefields to protect our right to free speech from tyrants. This right is so central to the Constitution we vowed to protect that it is enshrined in the very first amendment. You will NEVER take our freedom of speech away on our watch.

Donald Trump is breaching the Constitution and breaking the law.

A show of force so he can militarize our cities because of the 2026 elections.

We need to stand up together and speak up.
