Trump refuses to negotiate with Democrats in Congress. Instead, he’s willing to shut down the government to make deeper cuts to our healthcare & services we depend on. It’s time for Congress to put families first and stop the #TrumpShutdown. bsky.app/profile/aft....

Trump & Republicans have control of the White House & Congress, but still can't pass a budget & refuse to negotiate.

Our paychecks, healthcare, & schools are NOT bargaining chips. Congress needs to stop the games & do their jobs.

Tell your rep: REJECT the #TrumpShutdown.

It’ll go down in history as the Trump Republican shutdown of 2025. The same day they disrespected our military and Trump waged war on the American people.

Trump, despite having a Republican trifecta in DC, is refusing to meet with Democrats. It shows his reckless disregard for the pain a shutdown will cause to American families. #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown www.forbes.com/sites/sarado...

Shutdown Tracker: Trump Calls Democrats ‘Crazy’—Says He Won’t Compromise

Trump has repeatedly targeted Democrats over gender-reassignment surgeries—without explaining what he means—in blaming them for a possible government shutdown.

Jimmy Kimmel opening monologue was perfect. He threaded the needle perfectly showing us that he won’t back down to fascism and also that he won’t let the fascists force him to compromise his compassion.

Why Fascists Fear Teachers

Teachers are under siege not for anything they do wrong, but for what they do right.

What’s the plan for historians and teachers to create curriculum and programming for America’s 250th? Serious scholars and students of history are not going to comply with the whitewashed, right-wing, and historically inaccurate materials that will be coming from this administration.

The Stasi (1950–1990) were East Germany’s secret police. Their real power wasn’t just wiretaps and files, it was turning ordinary people into informants. Neighbors reported neighbors. Coworkers turned in coworkers. Even family members spied on family. 2/

Exploiting Charlie Kirk’s terrible murder to punish educators is wrong.

When you play politics with tragedy, students and teachers pay the price.

Our Federal Government is FAILING to invest in our infrastructure, and we are paying the price in our electric bills and extreme flooding. Oh and by the way - investing in infrastructure also creates good paying jobs.

but what’s different today from when the 2nd Amendment was written is the sheer firepower civilians can legally carry in places like Utah. Will this finally be the moment when leaders stop hiding behind empty “thoughts and prayers” and actually act? 2/
