That’s a good start for the Resistance in the US. But don’t let this be a one off! Keep up the pressure! Don’t let them strip one single right, push unconstitutional efforts to detain and deport people, defy legitimate judicial orders without consequences. It’s past time for Good Trouble!

Trump just signed an Executive Order to dismantle the Department of Education. You need to know:
1) This is ILLEGAL and WILL be challenged in the courts. Only Congress has this authority.
2) This is an ATTACK on students, families, educators, and schools. Kids will pay the price.
